Berry Noir is for the person who never passes on dessert and always tips their glass when the bottle of wine is coming back around. A sweet mystery brought together by marrying Platinum OG, BlackBerry, and Girl Scout cookies, it’s grown in popularity in recent years. Though the breeders prefer to stay secret, users can’t help but sing the praises of this rare gem.

The THC levels of this well-balanced strain are regularly reaching heights of 20% or more, giving users a powerful high without completely knocking you off your feet. As its parentage would suggest, this is a flavorful bud packed with skunky pungency, fruitiness, citrus tones, and a smooth licorice aftertaste. The aromas of earth and berry perfectly complement the bright coloring of this lime green spongy nugget. To round out the aesthetic, these buds are covered in shiny white trichomes, sticky resin, and a thin layer of crimson hairs.

Berry Noir is a smooth burning strain that offers users a break for their lungs as it is a mild smoke all the way around. This is a nightcap type of strain and will almost instantly give you that sleepy feeling many crave. The high starts in your head and core, weighing you to the couch, then rolls like waves throughout your limbs, leaving you tingly and euphoric. Enjoy this sensation as long as you can, as this high almost always ends in sleep.

Because of the aforementioned effects and the strength in which they hit, Berry Noir is a perfect combatant for insomnia. It rolls in fast, washing away any troubles one might have when falling asleep. It is also great for depression, stress, anxiety, and bipolar. You can utilize this strain for inflammation as well, as it tends to be a well-rounded medicinal bud.

This is primarily a “by the ounce” strain and is quite difficult to find seeds for. As a result of that, growing information is sparse. If you do manage to get your hands on Berry Noir, experiment with various growing techniques and environments to see which yields the best results.

Or, in place of growing your own, enjoy this 2014 Medical Cannabis Cup honoree on someone else’s effort. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the sweet flavors and easy to smoke attitude. Have Berry Noir as a nightcap after a long day or as a dessert post dinner. We promise you’ll have the best night of sleep you’ve had in ages.
