One of the lesser-known strains, this hybrid is a purported cross between Black Cherry Soda and Querkle.

Black Dahlia strain reviews(56)
F-ing incredible strain that puts me to sleep almost every night.
I’m a grower and I mostly grow indoor. When I’m out of my medicine, I have to go to dispensaries around town. They have some killer strains and Black Dalia was one of them.
I picked up an Oz for $39 and fell in love with this strain. So much so that I ordered a bunch of feminized seeds when I went back for a refill.
I’ve grown 22 plant’s of it so far and have 8 more to harvest in about 5 week’s. Each plant has yielded about 6.3 Oz’s so far. I’m only using 10gal buckets but am switching to 15gal smart pots after the next harvest.
I suffer from severe RLS and have a hard time sleeping at night. After I smoke a few bowls of BD, I’m generally out like a light.
My girlfriend suffers from panic attacks and she switched strains from White Widow to BD. Now they are less severe and farther apart.
If you have any kind of muscular problems or weakness in your legs, I’d start with this strain. It’s saved my life and many around me.
PeAcE OUT and B KIND!

A new strain that packs a surprise, Black Dahlia definitely hits the mark for those wanting a more indica-dominant hybrid. With an immediate head rush, and smooth inhale, the high is pleasant and not overpowering. With small, densely-packed Dark Green leaves and small Orange hairs all throughout the flower, the strong hint of purple is seen as a deep undertone of the color scheme. Buds were ~2 inches in size and pointy. Crystals had a "powdered" look. Great price, great quality.

Heavy sedation leaves me couch locked and weighted down. Slow t.v. watching and munchies in my future.

I had a big difference in pain was decreasing.
dark purple, beautiful strain. amazing high.
Looks striking. Good for pain, with a very mild head high. More brittle than sticky. Slight floral smell. I could carry an oz in a paper bag and no one would know. Little vapor and taste, the flavor reminds me of the smell of over-dried tobacco, but with a hint of floral to it. My body completely melted, and was almost entirely pain free. The head effects were very mild. More like chamomile tea than cannabis. The first go, I was fooled my the mildness of the taste and effects, and found that a bit too much leads to profound sleepiness without the stone.
This is an interesting strain. The buds are very dense, almost spongy and color is dark dark purple. The smell is sweet and flower like. Flower burns nicely, no sting to throat noticed. A nice body high, tingly legs and feet. My mind feels fine, able to focus but initially a more stoned feel. Relief for back pain and mild inflammation I believe this is a very strong strain because I only had four hits to have powerful effect. Feeling a little sleepy but not knocked out. Not a munchies maker. Feeling content. This strain reminds me of something from long ago a a smoke from the 1970s?
This is flat out the best Nighttime strain in the book for me! THC levels regularly at 21%, CBD regularly around 3%, this strain is the best at allowing me to get a good night sleep while controlling my pain, so much so that I regularly use it to ween down further on pain medication at night, it provides so much pain relief. Death Star & my own home grown Mr. Nice Guy are the only other strains that even come close to doing what Black Dahlia does. I wish TGA Subcool would make this the highlight of their seed bank, because it is a Rockstar! If you suffer from severe chronic and acute pain, especially spinal pain, and have trouble sleeping at night, make sure to try this! Ask growers to start growing more of it, dispensaries to start carrying it. It may be expensive also, it is usually $60-100 more per ounce, worth every penny!

This strain was just relaxing. Not much psycho-activity. I started to wonder if it was weed. It was relaxing leading me to think it must be high CBD. I blended it with some sativa which was not so good for pain, and found the combination was excellent. For $5gm, I can improve the pain killing power of other strains.
