Black Tuna effects are mostly calming.
Black Tuna, also known as "Tuna Black," is a British Columbian hybrid marijuana strain created by 5 Star Organic to give patients a potent punch of THC that is ideal for chronic pain relief. This Herijuana and Lamb's Bread cross has gained quite a bit of fame in Canada for both its strong narcotic effect and its whimsical marketing—prepackaged meds were sold in sealed tuna cans. Black Tuna flowers will be compact, trichome-covered and have a strong smell. Black Tuna doesn’t smell quite like fish, however; the strain’s name comes from the Black Tuna Gang that was famous for smuggling Colombian marijuana into the United States in the 1970s. Given its potency and high THC, this strain may be too much for novice or moderate consumers.

Black Tuna strain reviews(241)
August 25, 2019
I’m 47 years old. I stArted smoking cannabis after someone on a cell phone blew through a stop sign and T-boned me on my motorcycle. I was severely injured and required a very long surgery. I destroyed my lower back and pelvis. Had to learn how to walk again after several months in hospital and in a wheelchair. I am in chronic severe pain and have taken every kind of pain drug out there. My pain doctor mentioned Cannabis as an alternative issued me a document and off I went, mostly blind into Cannabis culture.
I managed to find a reputable dispensary without too much difficulty and developed a strategy based on sound adivce...try as many as you can and focus on Indicas and Hybrids. I was prescribed up to 2 grams a day.
The first Cannabis I tried was Blue Dream becuase I was told it was the most popular. My main needs are to manage pain, as a sleep aid; and to use for anxiety and help deal with the PTSD I developed after the accident.
As a hybrid BD was OK made me giggle a lot and provided a general sense of well being. Needless to say I have gone tried a ton of strains mostly Indicas and have to say BLACK TUNA IS AMAZING!!!. No single strain I have tried works as well as BT at fully handling my symptoms. I was reluctant to try because of the name and possible flavour. Thanks to Leafly I was convinced I was not going to get sushi flavoured weed. The taste and smell are amazing floral, spicey, hints of berry and citrus and some flavours I can’t even describe but delicious regardless.It had a funky OG and Kush thing going that just works. It is a creeper but when it hits you are not couch locked you are body slammed into the couch.
My pain was suddenly gone for the most part. My anxiety gone, I was super happy and chatty and just felt totally chiiillllaxxxed. I ate probably around 3-5 lbs of food judging on my weight the next day. Pretty much left a trail of destruction between our kitchen and bedroom, which my dogs were happy to clean up. I got so messed up and weird I decided to try all those roadside DWI/DUI tests administered well the ones I tried I failed 100% I was dizzy and could barely stand on 2 feet let alone trying to balance on one..lol....the touching your nose and counting backward thing were also brutal. While super drowsy I was not knocked out I was really drowsy and managed to watch the Office for an hour or so and then fell into a heavy beautiful sleep for a solid 6 hours which I have not had in a very long time.
This is a beautiful strain, my current favorite and is going to give me a more normal life and hopefully get me some if not all the gArbage I’m on. I cannot more highly recommend this strain if you are in pain, depressed/anxious and suffer from insomnia. Due respect to all the other Indicas that have helped me BUT BT at least for me is the belle of the ball...the fact it’s prime BC makes me more happy as a proud Canuck. If you come across this don’t let the name scare you...ITS AMAZING😬
I’ve been vaping for a few years for insomnia and stress, but I’ve always been a bit skeptical of cannabis for pain management, having had mixed results with migraines that are always better managed with traditional prescription pain killers.
Well, I was wrong, I just had to find the right strain, Black Tuna. The strain actually helps with my chronic coccyx pain. Effects are similar to taking 500mg of Naproxene, it takes about 80% of the pain off.
For migraines, it helps as much as my prescription Fioricet, takes about 80 to 90% of the pain off.
Also, it is objectively one of the best strains I’ve experienced, it is strong, but well rounded, a well balanced body and head high, with zero anxiety, relaxing, slightly psychedelic, tingly, and a bit arousing.Narcotic effects are very mild, helps you relax but doesn’t put you to sleep which would make it perfect (for me, anyway, as my insomnia is a big problem).
Some of the best characteristics of indicas and sativas, all rolled into one, without drawbacks like anxiety, couch lock, etc.
The bud tender at Trulieve in Boca Raton mentioned the only problem with it is it sells so fast they can’t keep enough of it to meet the demand, regardless of it being more expensive than other varieties.
This is it! Five decades of Top Shelf, two years on the medical marijuana, through trial and error, I've found the Holy Grail in my garage. WHAT?
Yeah, I bought 2 1/8ths of the Black Tuna a while back along with a couple of other of Trulieve's Cultivar's Collection, then left the 2 Black Tunas on the shelf in the garage and forgot about it until I was looking for some paint last night.
I was overjoyed finding them and just as overjoyed, toking it.The looks, the smell,
sticky, then the taste of my first hit. Black Tuna's toke was reminiscent of yesteryear, the likes of Acapulco Gold, Panama Red, Thai Sticks, Kona Buds and Maui Wowie.
Even though they all come from different exotic places in the world, they all have something about them that's extremely special, including Black Tuna, it's the feel good buzz. This is nice, I said. It's what I've been looking for ever since my doctor recommended that I use Medical Marijuana. It covers all of the bases, no anxiety or paranoia. The neuropathy pain was gone. Then the insomnia, I actually forgot about it, sleeping like a baby.
I'm going to check the local Trulieve's website everyday so that I don't miss the next batch of Black Tuna at the Bonita, Florida store.
