What is the Black Opium strain?
Black Opium is a indica cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Black Opium is an exquisite indica-dominant hybrid strain (85% indica, 15% sativa) developed by Divine Seeds as a sophisticated modification of their original Opium strain. Created by crossing Opium with a psychedelic Colombian Sativa featuring dark violet coloring and sweet grape scent, Black Opium fully preserves the potency and vitality of its Brazilian-Afghani parent genetics while adding distinctive purple-to-black coloration and enhanced berry flavors. Through repeated back-crossings, breeders accentuated the desirable qualities of both parent varieties, resulting in a medical-class strain with exceptional analgesic and sedative properties. The strain originated from Afghanistan, Brazil, and Colombia genetics, with the Colombian landrace specifically contributing to its unique dark purple coloring that becomes so pronounced during the final weeks of flowering that dried buds appear nearly black in color. The complex terpene combination of the original Opium strain, responsible for its rich juniper odor, is now complemented with distinct berry and grape hints from its Colombian heritage. Black Opium has gained recognition as a diamond-edition strain for cannabis connoisseurs, veteran users, and those seeking deep meditative experiences.
