Renowned for its striking visual appeal and potent sedative properties, it has remained a staple for those seeking deep relaxation and effective symptom relief. Effects The Black is a potent near-pure indica strain known for its heavy-hitting couch-lock effects, providing a near-instantaneous wave of physical relaxation and cerebral calm. With THC levels typically ranging between 18% and 24%, it is best reserved for nighttime use or low-energy activities due to its powerful sedative nature. This strain is highly effective for managing physical ailments such as chronic pain and muscle spasms, and it serves as a premier choice for treating severe insomnia. Its terpene profile is led by myrcene, which contributes to its earthy aroma and profound sedation; caryophyllene, which adds a spicy note and provides anti-inflammatory benefits; and pinene, which offers woody undertones and helps balance the heavy physical effects. Together, these characteristics make The Black an ideal selection for those seeking deep relaxation and effective symptom relief.

It is characterized by heavy earthy and musky base notes, complemented by sweet berry undertones and a subtle hint of spicy pepper or wood. Flavor The flavor mirrors its scent, offering a smooth smoke with a dominant taste of sweet grapes and dark berries. On the exhale, users often notice a woody, hash-like finish with lingering notes of soil and spice. Lineage While the exact genetic cross remains a closely guarded secret by its original breeders, it is widely accepted as a powerful indica-dominant cultivar that originated in California and was further refined on Vancouver Island, Canada. It was popularized and stabilized by BC Bud Depot. Terpene Profile - Myrcene: The primary terpene, contributing to the strain’s herbal aroma and profound sedative effects. - Caryophyllene: Adds a touch of spice and provides potential anti-inflammatory benefits. - Pinene: Offers subtle woody notes and may help balance the heavy physical effects.Effects With THC levels typically ranging between 18% and 24%, The Black is known for its heavy-hitting "couch-lock" effects.

Alaska lawmakers are considering two proposals to reform the state's cannabis tax system: HB 91, which would replace the $50-per-ounce cultivation tax with a 6% retail sales tax, and SB 73, which would reduce the cultivation tax to $12 per ounce. Proponents argue the current tax structure threatens the industry's survival and contributes to a growing illicit market, noting that tax revenue has dropped to $25 million while dozens of licensed growers owe millions in back taxes. < Back Alaska Bills Would Overhaul Cannabis Industry Taxes Mar 4, 2026 Source: Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A proposal in the Alaska House of Representatives seeks to change the state’s cannabis tax system, phasing out the current $50-per-ounce tax on licensed cultivators in favor of a 6% sales tax paid by consumers, Anchorage Daily News reports. State Rep. Ashley Carrick (D), the sponsor of HB 91, said the legislation would help struggling businesses compete with the illicit market. Industry advocates say the cultivation tax poses an existential threat to growers. Meanwhile, another proposal introduced by state Sen. Matt Claman (D), SB 73, would reduce the current per-ounce cultivation tax from $50 to $12. The legislation aims to address recommendations from a recreational cannabis task force appointed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R), which convened in 2022. “I think every year that we don’t take action, the industry faces more and more challenges with growing and stabilizing the work that they do. I do think that every year there’s a little bit of added pressure and added momentum, and we also have reduced revenue.” — Carrick, via Anchorage Daily News Cannabis tax revenue in Alaska has declined in recent years, from about $30 million in 2021 to about $25 million in 2025. There were 69 licensed cultivators with past-due taxes at the end of 2025, collectively owing more than $5.5 million to the state Department of Revenue, according to the report. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., d/b/a Schwazze, is acquiring 15 Colorado dispensaries from Star Buds, significantly expanding its footprint in the state. < Back Vireo Growth Expands Its Reach with Big Moves into California and Florida Markets Apr 1, 2026 Source: Staff Cannabis Business Times Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Big news is hitting the cannabis landscape as Vireo Growth officially wraps up its acquisition of Eaze, a move that significantly shifts the map for enthusiasts in a few key regions. While much of the buzz is centered on Vireo’s major entry into the massive California and Florida markets, there is a localized win for Colorado tokers that deserves a closer look. As part of this sweeping expansion, the company is bringing 15 additional storefronts into its Colorado network, giving local users even more reliable spots to pick up their favorite products. For the average consumer, these kinds of corporate mergers can sometimes feel like high-level industry noise, but they often translate to better accessibility and more consistent quality on the ground. When a company like Vireo expands its footprint so significantly, it usually means they are looking to streamline their supply chain. For you, that often results in more competitive pricing, a steadier supply of top-tier flower, and a wider variety of concentrates and edibles on the shelves. If you find yourself near one of these newly rebranded or integrated locations, it is a great time to stop in and see what the new management brings to the table. We always recommend chatting with the budtenders during these transition periods. They are usually stoked to show off new house brands or exclusive product lines that come along with a bigger parent company. It is also a smart move to check if they have launched a new loyalty program; often, these expansions come with introductory rewards or sign-up bonuses that can save you some serious cash on your next haul. Whether you are a medical patient in Florida looking for better access or a recreational user in the Rockies wanting more options, this deal is a positive sign that the industry is maturing. More locations mean less travel time to the dispensary and more time enjoying the plant we all love. Stay tuned to your local menus, because the selection at your neighborhood spot might be getting a major upgrade very soon. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) is proposing new rules to update its drug testing guidelines, specifically revising cannabis terminology to align with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This change aims to differentiate between delta-9 THC (found in marijuana) and delta-8 THC (from hemp). The DOT would now refer to delta-9 THC as such, and its metabolite as delta-9 THCC instead of THCA. The new filing also suggests adding fentanyl to drug testing panels for federally regulated transportation workers. < Back Federal Transportation Dept to Update THC Terminology for Consistency Sep 4, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Department of Transportation is finally cleaning up its cannabis vocabulary. In a new proposal, the DOT plans to update drug testing rules to be more precise about different types of THC. For years, federal agencies used broad terms that failed to distinguish between traditional delta-9 THC and hemp-derived alternatives like delta-8. By adopting more specific scientific labels—like referring to marijuana metabolites as delta-9 THCC instead of the confusing THCA—the agency is aligning with modern health standards. They are also looking to add fentanyl to testing panels for transportation workers. This might sound like a bunch of "suit-and-tie" bureaucracy, but it’s actually a win for clarity in the community. As the feds finally recognize the difference between various cannabinoids, it shows they’re acknowledging the complex reality of the plant and the legal hemp market. For regular users, this shift toward accurate terminology is a necessary step toward fairer testing and, eventually, more sensible federal policies. It’s great to see the government catch up to the science we’ve known for years. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

A bipartisan bill proposed in Wisconsin aims to protect the state’s hemp industry from federal crackdowns by shifting regulatory oversight to the state level and implementing new rules like a 21-and-older age limit, mandatory independent testing, child-resistant packaging, and a 10 mg THC limit per serving. The legislation, which is currently in the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Revenue, also includes language to bypass the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection before violations can be prosecuted. < Back Wisconsin Bill Seeks to Protect State’s Hemp Farmers from Federal Crackdown Dec 3, 2025 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A bill proposed in Wisconsin seeks to protect the state’s hemp industry from the federal crackdown on hemp-derived THC products by aligning state rules with those included in the recently passed federal spending bill, Wisconsin Public Radio reports. The bipartisan legislation imposes an age limit of 21-and-older on the sale of intoxicating hemp products, requires hemp cultivators to have their crops tested by an independent laboratory, and mandate that hemp-derived THC products be sold in child-resistant packaging. The bill would also impose a 10 milligrams of THC limit per serving and would not allow containers with more than two servings Jay Selthofner, owner of Heritage Hemp Farm, told WPR that the federal ban effectively leaves hemp regulation up to the states and that lawmakers are trying to protect the state’s hemp industry from the federal ban by moving state regulations from U.S. Department of Agriculture oversight to state oversight. “Being able to run our own program protects us a lot more than not doing that and allows the state to control much more aspects of it than just relying on a federal program that could be conceived as loosely written.” — Selthofner to WPR The proposal also includes language bypassing the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection before a district attorney or U.S. Department of Justice could prosecute violations of the new rules, which is required under current state law.

A Marijuana Policy Project report shows that cannabis arrests have plummeted by over 85% in legalization states, leading to a significant national decline. Despite this trend, over 200,000 people are still arrested annually, with prohibition states recording far higher arrest rates primarily for simple possession. < Back The Good News on Falling Arrest Rates and Where the Battle for Legal Herb Continues Apr 20, 2026 Source: Tom Angell Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Great news is coming out of the latest data from the Marijuana Policy Project, and it is a breath of fresh air for our community. A new report shows that as more states embrace sensible cannabis laws, the number of people being caught up in the legal system is dropping at a historic rate. It is proof that when we move toward a regulated market, the shadow of unnecessary criminalization starts to fade. Looking at the numbers, annual cannabis-related arrests in the U.S. have plummeted from a staggering peak of over 870,000 in 2007 down to roughly 211,000 in 2025. In states where the plant is legal, arrest rates have dived by more than 85%. This shift is massive because it means thousands of regular people are avoiding the life-altering trauma and lasting baggage of a criminal record for something that is now recognized as a normal part of life in half the country. However, while we celebrate this progress, the report reminds us that the journey isn't over. Over 200,000 individuals are still being funneled into the justice system every year, often for simple possession in states that haven't caught up with the times. In prohibition states, you are over eight times more likely to face a run-in with law enforcement compared to legal jurisdictions. It is a stark reminder of the "zip code justice" that still exists. For those of us navigating this evolving landscape, it’s a good time to stay informed about your local rules. Even in "green" states, some areas still have strict caps on how much you can carry or prohibit home grows. Staying within your state's specific guidelines is the best way to keep your experience positive and hassle-free. This downward trend in arrests is a huge win for accessibility and social justice, signaling a future where we can all enjoy the plant without fear.

A Texas judge ruled that hemp merchants can continue selling THCA flower until at least this summer. < Back Texas Hemp Shops Win Temporary Reprieve To Keep THCA Flower On Shelves Through The Summer May 4, 2026 Source: Chris Roberts MJbizDaily Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Great news for enthusiasts in the Lone Star State. Texas has always been a bit of a rollercoaster when it comes to plant-based rights, but the latest update from the courts is definitely cause for a small celebration. If you have been worried about your local shop running out of high-quality flower, you can breathe a sigh of relief—at least for the next few months. A judge just gave the green light for businesses to continue offering THCA flower. This comes after some serious tension between state regulators and local hemp entrepreneurs who have been working hard to keep these products available. For those who are not familiar with the science, THCA is essentially the raw precursor to the psychoactive compound most people are looking for. When you apply heat, whether through a flame or a vaporizer, it converts into the classic experience you know and love. Because it fits within specific legal definitions under federal hemp laws, it has become a staple for many people in states with more restrictive traditional laws. This ruling is a significant win for accessibility and the local economy. For many Texans, these hemp-derived options provide a safe, legal way to enjoy the benefits of the plant without the stress of legal hurdles or the limitations of a tiny medical program. It also protects the livelihoods of countless shop owners who have invested everything into the community. My advice is to head down to your favorite local boutique soon. Supporting these businesses while they navigate these legal challenges is the best way to show that the demand for quality greens is here to stay. Since this court-ordered pause only lasts through the summer, it is a perfect time to explore new harvests and maybe tuck a little extra away for a rainy day. Stay positive, stay informed, and enjoy the freedom of the season. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.
