The Permanent Marker strain gives off a vibe that it was made for cannabis connoisseurs who’ve seen it all, and then some. 

The name for sure spills the beans, with an audacious high that will leave a permanent mark on your memory. After all, where else do you get a strain with up to 35% THC? Leafly even paid homage to this potency by crowning Permanent Marker Strain of the Year 2023!

The Permanent Marker cannabis strain was bred by none other than the legendary JBeezy of Seed Junky Genetics, while the Los Angeles-based brand Doja Exclusive took over the marketing. This strain is a cross between three powerhouses: Biscotti, Sherb BX, and Jealousy. This is an indica dominant hybrid strain (about 70% indica, 30% sativa).  

The Permanent marker strain THC level​ is usually at 27% and 30%, in some cases even 35%. Permanent Marker strain doesn’t play games, not even with daily tokers. The high is strong, fast-hitting, and lingers for hours. It’s the kind of strain to fall back on when you need to zone out in the best way possible.

Flavor and Aroma 

Did you secretly love the smell of a permanent marker as a kid? You’re not alone. This strain’s marker-like aroma has earned it a devoted cult following.

Users described the Permanent Marker strain aroma to be a mix of dry marker with fruity notes and a drizzle of black pepper. When it comes to taste, it calls for a more adventurous palate. It’s not your typical sweet, dessert-like Wedding Cake strain. Imagine biting into soap that’s coated in sherbert and rolled in fuel—that’s what Permanent Marker’s flavor and aroma experience is like. 

Permanent Marker Strain Terpenes​

  • Myrcene: very evident in the pungent notes
  • Caryophyllene: adds peppery notes
  • Linalool: Floral and soapy  undertones
  • Limonene: Sherbet and citrus notes
  • Bisabolol: Sweet and floral notes

Physical Characteristics and Yield

Permanent Marker is a beauty to behold, with purple hues dancing through the emerald green spade-shaped nugs. Give it 8 to 9 weeks to mature (permanent marker strain flowering time​), and expect to see bright orange pistils curling out from a thick layer of frosty trichomes (the resin glands that hold the cannabinoids and terpenes). 

  • If you could bottle attitude, confidence, and chill into one cannabis strain, it would be Permanent Marker.

    This is the kind of strain that I offer to friends who swear that they cannot be knocked out by any strain. Let’s say, they at least live to tell the story!”
