How Black Russian lands
On the menu's ten-point effect scale the Black Russian strain scores highest for calm (9), then happy (8), with relaxed not far behind. That matches how customers describe it.
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 Russian in the Relaxed and Happy lanes. If you'd rather start from a feeling than a name, that page is the shortcut.
Where Black Russian comes from
AltSol hasn't published the cross behind Black Russian, 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
No strong rule. A hybrid like this sits in the middle, so the dose decides whether it's a daytime or evening strain.
Lab sheet
What's on the lab sheet
Terpenes explain more than the THC number does. In the Black Russian strain it's limonene-forward (1.62%) with 3.39% in total, which is why the nose is citrus and lemon.
- Limonene 1.62% Smells like: citrus, lemon, herbal Same terpene as lemon rind. When it sits near the top of the sheet the aroma is sharp and clean rather than sweet.
- Beta Caryophyllene 0.92% Smells like: sharp, spice, sweet, wood That spicy, almost woody edge behind the fuel smell is usually caryophyllene.
- Beta Myrcene 0.73% Smells like: earthy, musk, cloves Mango, hops and thyme all carry myrcene. In flower it reads as that damp, musky smell you get when you first open the jar.
- Humulene 0.08% Smells like: herbal, spice, woody, earthy If a strain smells a bit like a pine forest floor, humulene is doing some of that work.
- Nerolidol 0.04% Smells like: floral, sweet, woody Nerolidol is a quieter terpene with a woody, slightly floral smell. It turns up in tea tree, jasmine and ginger.
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.
