More Information on Black Diamond :
Black Diamond is a hybrid with mostly indica genetics. It is a cross between flavor-engineered Blackberry and Diamond OG, a hybrid derived from OG Kush. This strain delivers a strong, sedative high that still allows for mental lucidity, making it great for concentration and conversation. Aside from its psychoactive potency, Black Diamond also has definite bag appeal, with multicolored flowers and a dynamic, robust aroma. This indica’s THC index has been measured at between 15% and 24%.
Black Diamond sets itself apart with medium to large flowers that have an elongated, almost cylindrical shape. The buds have the dense, solid structure characteristic of other indica varieties. Leaves are a pale sage green and are shot through with pale brown pistils. Some phenotypes of the strain also have vibrant streaks of purple, which are the result of pigments called anthocyanins that have been stimulated by cold weather during the growing process. Icy white trichomes are the crowning glory on these striking flowers, giving them a very sticky texture and making them difficult to make them break up by hand.
When properly cured, Black Diamond has a rich berry aroma passed on from parent strain Blackberry. On closer inspection, these is also an underlying dank and earthy character. Meanwhile, breaking up or grinding the buds gives off a nutty, toasted odor. When burnt, Black Diamond gives off a surprisingly smooth smoke for an indica; on the exhale, this smoke leaves behind the taste of oak and berries. Notably, Black Diamond has no detectable grape flavor — this is because the pigments that bring out the leaves’ purple hues do not have a corresponding effect on its taste.
Black Diamond’s high sets in relatively quickly with a weightiness in the core and limbs, leading smokers to seek refuge in the closest comfortable surroundings. Consumers may find themselves more relaxed and able to breathe more deeply and easily. There are also some subtle mental effects that can lead to amplified sounds as well as visual distortions. Such trippy vibes can be great for watching TV or listening to some immersive, atmospheric music. Black Diamond can also make even experienced cannabis users giddy — extended fits of giggling are not uncommon. Throughout all this stimulation, a strong body stone persists, making smokers unlikely to engage in active pursuits like exercise or even house cleaning. That said, because of its ability to affect both body and mind, Black Diamond can serve as an effective aphrodisiac. Because it is more sedative than energetic, Black Diamond is perhaps best enjoyed in the evening or just before bed when its slow burn of relaxation can be fully appreciated.
Black Diamond also has several applications for medical cannabis patients. Its strong, almost narcotic feeling of sedation can effectively numb aches and pains, whether temporary as due to injury or chronic as due to diseases like arthritis or lupus. Its mellow euphoria may also take the edge off of mild to moderate cases of stress, anxiety, and depression. Finally, Black Diamond can be an antidote for insomnia, pulling users into a deep and restful sleep. Because the frantic feeling of “mind race” is not often reported with this strain, it can be a good choice for those who are prone to panic or paranoia.
No breeders have made seeds of Black Diamond available for commercial sale. Instead, prospective growers must obtain clippings from mature plants of the strain in order to grow genetically identical “clones.” It can be grown indoors or out, although successful outdoor cultivation requires a humid climate with daytime temperatures in the 70 to 80 degree Fahrenheit range. Plants grow short and bushy and should be “topped,” or trimmed of any wide fan leaves in order to encourage the growth of flowering nodes on lower branches. Those looking to bring out Black Diamond’s striking purple hues should also expose their plants to cold (but not freezing) temperatures just before flowering begins.
With its social, easygoing character, Black Diamond can be an excellent way to enhance your apres-ski experience (or to get it started early while the rest of your friends hit the slopes). As enjoyable in group settings, it can also set the ideal mood for some quality solo time.

Nice indica shake… read the description, it’s very accurate.
I like BWIB because they offer such a choice to people like me with tight budget.

So far so good! It came very quickly and was well packaged. I used the herbs to infuse oil in my magical butter machine. The shake smells toasty before infusing and after, in the oil. It’s like some of it’s been previously loved (vaporized perhaps?) but even that retains content. I’m infusing vinegar now for salad dressing. Not sure if I’ll be able to make sweet things but that’s ok. The effect so far – mellow and alert. Cannot beat the price. will order from these ppl again!

Couldn’t resist trying Black Diamond shake at this price point. Came with free 1 g Sweet Berry flower. Thanks! Weighed product. Expected 453 g was rewarded with bonus 9 g for 462 g total. Thanks again guys! Cost works out to $0.34/g which for this quality of product is incredible. Not much perlite or bud visible, mainly chopped leaf. Everything is coated in a nice light frosting of crystalline goodness. Very green musky fragrance. Vapes as is with a light flowery taste that’s strong on the green and earthy. Result is a nice heady high. All things considered, I am very impressed. This is great value here. Thanks again BWIB!

Amazing! Lightning fast shipping! And the product is outstanding! Nevermind being able to make affordable butters, oils, extracts, ect. It smokes really well! I’ve shared so much because it was so cheap I’m already gearing up to try another pound! Great service great product! I won’t shop anywhere else!

I had the sweet berry, which I paid 275 for NOT WORTH it, not potent at all, had to have been sifted before hand cause there is no keif in I the bag, I made oil out of it and it wasn’t even potent enough o make that worth it, very disappointed dont get excited about it being a pound people cause it’s not a good or even decent pound so many other site have better
Jeffrey Robinson –
Yes, it’s for a pound people.
I make rosin with mine (not straight from the bag. ie rehydration, sifted…), and its yummy! If you’ve got the startup $$ for a press, this is the way to go.
Ps. You should also know, they have great customer service and they have always exceeded my expectations.

I have just received my first purchase of shake and I am very pleased with the quality.I have taking the time to sift approximately 40-50grams to get any of stems that are lurking out so I’m able to add it to joints occasionally ,while vaporizing it most of the time.
I will surely be making edibles with a good portion of this to help relieve pain and anxiety.
The aroma has an piney earthy smell which reminds me of Christmas 🙂
Thank you for the fast delivery & excellent product !

Great shake! I made shatter with my extractcraft and it sure smokes nice. For me it makes me alert and ready to conquer. Smoked a few joints which were decent considering it’s shake, I mean it’s no Alaskan thunderfuck buy hey…

The shake I received is peppered throughout with Kief. And while It is mostly comprised of small leaf matter, that leaf matter is covered in crystal. It is also shot through with small bud, and other little hidden goodies. Stems are present of course, but they are very small, and to be honest, I expect the clean up on this will be minimal. It really looks that good.
My wife will use the shake to make edibles. I typically smoke shake now from in a small old school combustion pipe. This shake just needs time in large jars with Boveda packs to really shine if you are going to smoke it. Only then, will the true aroma and flavor come through.
From the pipe, It has a rich deep thick smoke, shot through with a sheen of blue, that when properly coaxed, provides a rich tangy sensation on the tongue, leaving notes of fruit and berries. It smokes slightly hot and the smoke is a touch harsh, but that will mellow when I condition it with Boveda packs. Shake gets a bad name. It can be reinvigorated though, and the guys here sell the best I’ve seen anywhere. Period. They don’t mess around. Great service too.
Potency on this at this point is quite good, however, I know it will only get better, provided I store it properly. The Sunset Sherbet I bought here last time is a prime example of this; it is my go to herb first thing in the morning now; except for this morning, when I had a few pipe loads of this.
Peace out and happy communion with whatever flower calls you.
