About Black Diamond
Black Diamond is an indica that crosses Blackberry with Diamond OG. It has been a Pacific Northwest favorite for years and is sold in several US markets, where its dark buds and fruity aroma help it stand out on dispensary shelves.
The aroma blends ripe berry and grape with an earthy, slightly spicy base from the OG side. Buds are dense and dark, often deep purple to nearly black with orange hairs and a sparkling layer of trichomes. Myrcene usually provides the earthy, fruity depth, caryophyllene adds spice, and pinene brings a crisp, fresh accent.
People commonly describe Black Diamond as relaxed, sleepy and happy, with a mellow mood and a heavy body feel. It is usually chosen for evenings and nights when the goal is to unwind completely. THC usually ranges from 17% to 22%, and CBD is typically under 1%.
Black Diamond suits people who enjoy fruity indicas and slower evenings. Its body effects can build over time. Start low, go slow, and give each dose a chance to settle. Use WhereLeaf to find Black Diamond at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
