Cross between Herijuana and Lambs’ Bread, Black Tuna is a cannabis strain that has been around for quite some time. It was first bred in the late 90s by Dutch breeding companies like Green House Seeds and Seedline.

It doesn’t smell like fish, but it was named after a gang of smugglers. Its flavors are rich in spice and tartness, with a funky and putrid aroma that leans more toward the latter.

The experience is rich, spicy, and peppery all at once—like cumin with a hint of mintiness thrown in for good measure. The effects are hard-hitting and come on fast, starting with a cerebral rush before eventually morphing into an energetic high, which lasts for several hours after ingestion. This is your go-to strain if you’re looking for a cerebral rush and a hard loopy high!

What is Shake?

Shake, quite simply, consists of small pieces of the cannabis flower that have broken off the full flower bud. Shake is found at the bottom of cannabis dispensary jars filled with flower buds or the bag that holds your purchased bud. Shake is a completely normal by-product of handling and moving marijuana flower. It’s used in pre-rolls or sold separately.

It’s important to note, some cannabis consumers look down on shake as being lesser quality. This can be an error in judgment. While shake cannot be compared to a full, top-tier marijuana flower bud, shake can have a decent cannabinoid profile, especially if you purchase your cannabis flower from a high-quality dispensary.
