Strains, while delivering highs that are clearly as satisfying as anything could be may also have stories of its origin that are sometimes a blur. It is normal in the cannabis world to have a strain with known parents but unknown breeders. Perhaps the original breeder refuses to be named, or a more plausible reason is that with the way it was passed around, the original creators were simply forgotten. That is not the case with The Black, though.
It is amostly Indica strain that is bred by BC Bud Depot. For those who do not know yet, the breeder develops hybrids and makes it available for sale online either through them or a network of dealers. Located in British Columbia, Canada, they have been very active in the cannabis scene for a long time.

Unfortunately, the breeder has not disclosed its genetic lineage. Not that they can be blamed because to do so means that they made it easier for others to copy their work. It means that they could potentially lose income over that.
According to the Deep Ellum Seed Company from Texas, USA, Doctor Dank from their company actually bred the strain in 2005 by combining Afghani x Michoacan x Oaxaca x Green Vietnamese.
The Black has been listed as one of the Top 10 Strains of 2008 by the High Times. This dark black hybrid produces effects that are remarkable for those in search of the perfect body high. Yet it does not mean that the mental effects come easy.

The Black Strain Effects
The Black is one that hits fast (for an Indica) and delivers a soothing feeling that is perfect for night time use.
Before that, it begins by first inducing a euphoric buzz that almost instantly uplifts the mood.
In most other Indica strains, the physical effects creep into the body slowly. Not for this one though as the uplifting effects spread down at the same time.
The Black Strain Effects
Indica dominant strains come with more a definitive body high. Even so, different strains would have unique traits. Some, for example, induces deep relaxation but can cause a couch-lock.
Others may have sedating properties or may even cause some people to feel lethargic.
As the soothing sensation of this strain spreads, it eliminates tension from the body and causes the muscles to relax.
Meanwhile, users often settle down with a gentle head high even as they finally succumb to the incredible body bliss.
The Black is perfect for nighttime use. Though it induces a euphoric buzz, it does not make one hyperactive.
Its ability to deliver immense relaxation is great to cap the night off. Soon enough, its users will start to feel drowsy. Thus, helping them to sleep soundly at night.
The Black Strain Fragrance
The Black emits an aroma that is irresistible to users. It has a pungent fruity scent that is similar to the smell of grape. As the buds are broken, hints of spiciness and earthiness can be distinguished.
The Black Strain Flavors
This strain tastes fruitier than it smells. A peppery, berry-like flavor touches the palate upon the first toke. During the exhale, the flavor of wood may be tasted with notes of grape that is reminiscent of wine.

Adverse Reaction
Using cannabis may deliver one of the greatest feelings a person could feel. However, it also comes with unwanted effects.
As expected with using marijuana, users may experience dry mouth and eyes.
While these reactions are common in using cannabis, other side effects may still occur. For instance, some people may feel a bit anxious.
Sometimes it is because of taking too much or maybe it is because one has a low tolerance with strains. Other adverse effects include paranoia and dizziness.
Medical
For many users, CBD level is often associated with its medicinal value. In that sense, they are absolutely correct.
Unfortunately, there is no information on how much CBD it has. It is safe to assume though that it should be average.
It does come with a high amount of THC. Often associated with psychoactive properties, it is also precisely because of this that The Black has value among medical users.
Medical Benefits of The Black Strain
While it only has some 10% Sativa genetics, The Black can swing the mood.
As such, its euphoric buzz in addition to the soothing sensation all over the body can quickly melt away stress. It turns a bad day into one that is tolerable.
Aside from that, it is also quite useful in reducing or eliminating physical discomforts.
For instance, people suffering from chronic pain, muscle spasms, and nausea should find comfort in its use.
Naturally, feeling extremely relaxed, most people end up sleeping. Insomniacs should find it an incredibly useful nighttime companion.
One thing, though, is that it can also stimulate the appetite. If that is the purpose of using cannabis, then it is best to use only a tiny amount.
That way, its effects are gentle and allows one to get up and find food.
