CULTA is at it again with their version of an incredible Oni Seed Co. project: Permanent Gas! Fans of classic genetics can find a touch of the past bred into this lady, as she’s a cross of Sour Diesel and Permanent Marker. CULTA has really brought out the best of this classic cross that truthfully harkens back more to her Permanent Marker origins than her Sour Diesel roots. With that being said, this variety is a thing in and of itself and is truly worth the time to download into your palate. But even before learning about this variety’s esteemed lineage, I wanted a puff because of its lovely, enticing and quite balanced terpene profile.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve certainly noticed that some of Maryland’s best sellers — and my personal favorites — are profiles heavily dominated by caryophyllene. There seems to be a consistent trend for profiles and genetics with caryophyllene at the top, which could be due to the fact that caryophyllene binds to CB2 receptors like CBD does or just the darndest coincidence. Regardless, CULTA’s Permanent Gas is a caryophyllene-dominant delight tempered with an even balance of limonene, linalool and myrcene that rounds the high into a trance-like state of pleasant calm. The limonene and linalool combo is one of my personal favorite anti-anxiety combos, and I feel it’s tremendously more efficacious with the caryophyllene top.
As I briefly mentioned, the flavor and aroma have hints of the Sour Diesel parent; however, it is the Permanent Marker that really shines through in the toke. The nose has a strong gas top that features some floral sweetness mixed in, and just a hint of OG Sour Diesel comes in on the exhale. CULTA has grown yet another joy for the community. If you are a fan of classic lineages or caryophyllene-dominant profiles, then CULTA’s Permanent Gas is worth a purchase.
