<p>Black Friday is here! For most it signals flash sales, holiday hysteria, and American consumerism at its finest. It serves as the official kick off to the holiday spending season, with retailers preparing all year for the sales that are designed to bring them <strong><a href="https://blackfriday.com/pages/black-friday-history">out of the red and into the black</a></strong>.</p>
<p>For others, like myself, it has become a day of rest,&nbsp;filled with leftover turkey sandwiches, college football, and of course cannabis.

Black Friday Strain Survival Guide: 7 Strains to Get You through the Madness

Strongly Indica-dominant hybrid.  Very sedating.  Not a cerebral high.  Excellent back pain relief and sleep aid!

Black Ice provides a nice relaxing sedative kind of high. Perfect for anyone with insomnia or stress, this strain will definitely put you down. This strain is a definite choice for anyone looking to relax and completely melt into the seat or bed.

Here's the deal, Black Ice is a heady mother F'r. You feel it in your head pretty fast, making you relaxed and a  little heavy headed. As your brain matter thickens and coagulates, you loose most rational thought and worries as your thick head spreads to your shoulders and neck. Within an hour or so the only thing you want is sweet sweet sleep and it doesn't disappoint. Dry ass mouth and some munchies accompany this desire and usually win out before the sleep happens. This is a great go to strain when you want your brain to go away and you want to rest without rational thought. In other words, this is for stress and pain both physical and mental. Its groovy AF.

I thought it was going to put me to sleep,but it gave me a clear head ....good draw,its going to be one of my favorite..

This is my favorite night time strain. Smooth and tasty. It's kinda like taking a warm bath right before bed, very relaxing and helps you sleep through the night.  No hangover-type of effects in the morning.

This strain is now my favorite.  Very cool dark color buds, sedating effect.

The smell of the black ice is amazing! The batch I got was testing at 25% but I don't place to much value on thc levels. Will get some more for sure👍🏼

<p>Working with four prime examples of Cannabis <a href="/strains/afghanica">Afghanica</a> led Sensi Seeds to blend the world&#39;s finest <a href="/strains/lists/category/indica">indica</a> genetics into a rapid-flowering, crystal-coated <a href="/strains/lists/category/hybrid">hybrid</a>: Black Domina. Combining desirable features from the <a href="/strains/northern-lights">Northern Lights</a>, <a href="/strains/ortega">Ortega</a>, <a href="/strains/hash-plant">Hash Plant</a>, and <a href="/strains/afghani">Afghani</a> SA&nbsp;has made this strain equally suited to the needs of commercial growers, connoisseurs,&nbsp;and first-time cultivators. Black Domina delivers a <a href="/strains/lists/flavor/spicy-herbal">spicy</a>&nbsp;<a href="/strains/lists/flavor/pepper">pepper</a> aroma alongside overwhelming <a href="/strains/lists/effect/relaxed">relaxation</a> and <a href="/strains/lists/effect/sleepy">sleepiness</a>, making this strain&nbsp;ideal for late night use.</p>

<p>Among the most famous strains worldwide is White Widow, a balanced <a href="/strains/lists/category/hybrid">hybrid</a> first bred in the Netherlands by Green House Seeds. A cross between a <a href="/strains/south-american">Brazilian</a> <a href="/strains/lists/category/sativa">sativa</a> <a href="/news/cannabis-101/the-cannabis-origin-what-is-a-landrace-strain">landrace</a> and a resin-heavy <a href="/strains/south-indian">South Indian</a> <a href="/strains/lists/category/indica">indica</a>, &nbsp;White Widow has blessed every Dutch coffee shop menu since its birth in the 1990s. Its buds are white with crystal resin, warning you of the potent effects to come. A powerful burst of <a href="/strains/lists/effect/euphoric">euphoria</a> and <a href="/strains/lists/effect/energetic">energy</a> breaks through immediately, stimulating both <a href="/strains/lists/effect/talkative">conversation</a> and <a href="/strains/lists/effect/creative">creativity</a>. White Widow&rsquo;s genetics have given rise to many other legends like <a href="/strains/white-russian">White Russian</a>, <a href="/strains/white-rhino">White Rhino</a>, and <a href="/strains/blue-widow">Blue Widow</a>. Still, many growers prefer cultivation of the original White Widow, which flowers in about 60 days indoors.</p>
