Calm first. That scores 9 out of ten for the Black & Blue strain, with happy (8) right behind and relaxed in the mix. If that's the evening you want, this is a good pick.
Effect scores are the menu's customer-reported ratings, not medical claims. Effects vary by person, dose and product.
On our shop-by-feel page that puts Black & Blue in the Relaxed and Happy lanes. If you'd rather start from a feeling than a name, that page is the shortcut.
Where Black & Blue comes from
AltSol hasn't published the cross behind Black & Blue, and we won't guess. What we can vouch for is the lab sheet on this page and the way it smokes, which staff have tried.
AltSol (Alternative Solutions) grows in the District and supplies most of our flower and the Good Night / Great Day pre-roll packs. Consistent jars, honest lab sheets, and a house style that leans gassy. More on the grower at altsol.co.
When to use it
Afternoon into evening is the sweet spot. It's a hybrid that can go both ways depending on how much you take.

Terpenes in Black & Blue
In the Black & Blue strain beta caryophyllene leads at 2.02%, out of 5.19% total terpenes. Caryophyllene, limonene and humulene make up most of what you'll smell.
- Beta Caryophyllene 2.02% Smells like: sharp, spice, sweet, wood That spicy, almost woody edge behind the fuel smell is usually caryophyllene.
- Limonene 0.83% Smells like: citrus, lemon, herbal Limonene is the citrus note. Strains that lead with it tend to feel brighter and more upbeat.
- Humulene 0.75% Smells like: herbal, spice, woody, earthy Humulene rarely leads a profile, but it rounds out the earthier strains and keeps the sweet ones from being cloying.
- Alpha Pinene 0.43% Smells like: pine Pinene is the sharp, green note. Rosemary and pine needles carry it too.
- Beta Pinene 0.42% Smells like: woody, pine Alpha and beta pinene both show up on the sheet. Together they are the fresh, resinous smell at the front of a lot of sativas.
Terpene percentages are from the current batch's certificate of analysis. Our guides explain how to read one and why the total matters more than the THC.
