Black Tourmaline OG
Black Tourmaline OG is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from Agha Black and Maruf Black preservation genetics. It is a robust cultivar suited for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield for growers who can navigate its moderate difficulty level. The plant reaches maturity following a 60-day flowering cycle and has served as the foundational parent for the notable offspring, Tourmaline Cream.
The chemical profile of Black Tourmaline OG is defined by a complex, layered terpene sequence led by caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene. This aromatic foundation is rounded out by pinene, humulene, and ocimene, with detectable nuances of nerolidol, linalool, beta-pinene, and guaiol. The profile concludes with trace concentrations of p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide, resulting in a nuanced sensory experience that reflects its intricate genetic background.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, this strain is recognized for its ability to induce effects that are consistently relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for users seeking relief from stress and pain, and it is frequently utilized as an aid for sleep. Through its genetic legacy and established cannabinoid and terpene profiles, Black Tourmaline OG remains a distinct entry in the modern breeding landscape.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
