The Black Widow strain is one of the most popular strains on the market, which is well-recognized for its name, delivering immensely potent THC levels that vary between 18 and 20%. Being on the list of the strongest marijuana strains of all time, the Black Widow marijuana has Sativa-dominant genes (70% Sativa/Indica 30%). The strain resulted from crossing South American with South Indian strains. The weed provides an exceptional head euphoria with remarkably intense high, total happiness, complete relaxation, and a significant cause of hunger during smoking and after. The terpene profile is dominated by myrcene, and terpinolene, which results in a sweet woody taste like you are walking in the forest inhaling pine hints. Due to this extremely high THC level, the Blackwidow weed is suitable for veteran smokers.

myrcene and limonene are terpenes that prevail in this cannabis. They are responsible for gorgeous berry taste and mellow high that I like most of all.

I struggle with bipolar and black widow is my run to strain as the doctors prescription doesn’t always do the job. This mmj offers me instant relief for pain and anxiety and it calms my nerves. I am able to better focus better. It is a heavy strain, so I wouldnt advice anyone to take it when they have work to do.

A quick but intense body and mind high. This is a munchies weed, I would recommend that you have food nearby or you will be throwing a tantrum. The body buzz is very short-lived but super strong and makes one slightly aroused. This is a good flower but definitely not a favorite.

I would say that this is an okay strain. It has a really good smell and has a pleasant high that made me euphoric and happy but the buzz was short-lived. It did not blow me away so I would say that this is a good strain for everyday high.
