Tar

Tar is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and diesel and earthy flavor profile.

Tar is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain known for its heavy, sedating effects and distinctive aroma profile. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources suggesting it likely emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2000s as part of the OG Kush family lineage. Breeders appear to have selected for its exceptionally high resin production and strong physical effects, creating a strain that has gained a reputation among experienced users seeking powerful relaxation.

The strain's name derives from its appearance and aroma characteristics. Tar produces dense, dark green buds that are often tinged with deep purple hues and covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes that give the flowers a sticky, tar-like texture. The buds typically have a compact, chunky structure with orange pistils weaving through the dense foliage. When properly cured, the flowers develop a glossy sheen that further reinforces the tar-like visual impression.

Notable features of Tar include its complex aromatic profile and long-lasting effects. The strain emits a pungent scent that combines fuel-like notes with earthy undertones and hints of pine, creating a distinctive olfactory experience. Users report that the effects come on gradually but build to a powerful full-body relaxation that can be immobilizing at higher doses. Due to its potency and sedating nature, Tar is generally recommended for evening or nighttime use and may be overwhelming for novice consumers.
