Where the name comes from
Strain databases describe Black Licorice as an indica-dominant cross of Black Cherry Soda and Black Maduro, with caryophyllene as its lead terpene. Caryophyllene is the peppery, spicy terpene also found in black pepper, which helps explain the bite behind the sweetness.
One honest note: more than one grower can sell a strain under the same name, and our supplier does not publish the parents. We share the reported lineage so you know what the name usually means, not as a guarantee about this batch.
How it smokes
Expect sweetness on the inhale and a spicy, herbal finish. It works in a joint, a bowl, or a dry-herb vaporizer. A clean piece or fresh papers keep that licorice note from getting muddy.
Our tip from the counter: break a bud open before you grind it. The anise and pepper notes are strongest right then, and that first smell tells you a lot about how fresh the batch is.
What to expect
As an indica, this black licorice weed strain tends to fit quiet evenings. Effects vary with tolerance and amount, so start low and go slow, and wait a few minutes between draws. Plan your night so you are not driving.
Who it suits
It suits smokers who like unusual, spice-forward flavours over straight candy or citrus. If licorice is not your thing, it probably is not your strain, and we will happily point you somewhere else.
Pair it or compare it
For another darker, earthy indica, try Venom OG. For something sweeter, Pink Gelato is a crowd favourite. You can see the full indica flower selection or the whole menu online.
