Nightshade is at least two weed strains. In the US, Nightshade is a heavy indica cannabis strain from Connected Cannabis Co. Connected does not disclose the lineage, but describes it as earthy, sweet, and gassy.


In Europe, Barney's Farm has a Night Shade—an indica weed strain made from a genetic cross between Kashmir and Nepalese landrace strains. Night Shade is 21% THC and 1% CBG, making this strain an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced cannabis consumers. Leafly customers tell us Nightshade effects include sleepy, aroused, and euphoric. Medical marijuana patients often choose Nightshade when dealing with symptoms associated with anxiety, insomnia, and pain. Bred by Barneys Farm, Nightshade features flavors like tree fruit, diesel, and plum. The dominant terpene of this strain is myrcene. The average price of Nightshade is approximately $60 per eighth-ounce. Prices vary widely by batch, location, and time. If you’ve smoked, dabbed, or consumed Nightshade, tell us about your experience by leaving a strain review.

Just buy this strain. Ohhhhhhh bbbbboooooyyy!!! This will knock ya clear on your butt. It’s in no way shape or form overpowering or overbearing. Packed a solid bowl, took two or three puffs and went huh… not a whole lot. I heard a lot about this strain and it’s from a reputable grower (Connected), so I thought why not 3 more. This strain is the textbook definition of a creeper. Be patient with this strain. I don’t consider myself a connoisseur but this ain’t your average. Took this around 12:30 in the afternoon and instantly got that “ok I’m ready for bed” feeling. I would compare this strain to SFV OG with a touch more indica qualities. Overall this is a very fun, quality strain. Good for chillin at the beach or park. Tested pretty high at 32ish percent. Flavors right on the money. Nice mint earth undertones that reminds me of sucking on a cough drop. Just a tad bit of sweetness that comes thru with the citrus in this one. You cannot go wrong with this one. Hopefully I can secure a steady supply. I think I found my new favorite.

I was prescribed this after reporting that a lot of the strains would keep me awake due to overthinking. It worked, it was pretty easy to fall asleep after smoking this stuff.

This is hands down one of these Best Indica strains in the WORLD rn. Its Kashmir crossed with Nepalese. Both landraces in their own country, being Afghanistan and Nepal. Super relaxing yet uplifting at the same time. I like to roll spliffs with this one because the NS with good fresh tobacco is like getting the best of both worlds. I "highly" recommend this to anyone looking to get stoned and detach from their reality, such as it is, for a lil bit. Hope y'all are staying safe and warm out there✌🏽🥶 its cold in New Yawk Gawd!!!!

this flower is absolutely incredible. super unique high. this 1/8th came in at 27% thc and is incredibly potent. sets quickly and begins with an intense uplifting, focused, yet relaxing high. about 30-45 mins into the high it takes a sharp left turn into a deep couch locking high. you won’t want to get out of bed. i recommend this strain for nighttime use only, the best time is right before you get ready for bed. my absolute favorite indica-hybrid personally

NightShade is my goto, 1:00AM, nightcap. It works every time. I use Trulieve as my dispensary in Florida since medical passed and I've always been satisfied, but once i tried their Connected Cannabis brand, I've bought all of their strains and IMO, they're all TOPSHELF, for Connoisseurs. Need a feeling? Check out any one of Leafly's ratings. Long story short, back to the NightShade, the nightcap; good dreams, everyone. BTW: Insomniacs, take note.

It’s fairly fast pace, not subtle at all head high, feeling it immediately in my skull, not so much my body.. very back-of-the-throat gassy and diesel taste is prominent. I used concentrate, and I found it works better than flower. (The same cannot be said for it’s edible version… awful headache)

Wow. This is a banger. 35+ years smoking and this is one of the most powerful and memorable highs I’ve ever had. First hit: okay… tastes good. Second hit: a little heady and damn this tastes good. Third hit: what planet am I on and am I still putting together cohesive sentences. All my stress and aches melted away and I was in the zone. I did eat like a bottomless pit but the relaxation and how easy it was for me to fall asleep made any of that well worth it. I got an eighth of this for a steal at $20 and I’d easily pay double that for this herb. No headaches no paranoia just couch bliss and giggle time.

Zen like kind of high. Unique. Relaxation of body and mind. One of the more relaxing strains. There are better strains for pain relief but it does a decent job. Overall one of the best strains I've ever had. Thanks Connected!
