Black Violet
Black Violet is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Mac 1 and Frozen GRC. This cultivar is categorized as a moderate-difficulty grow, requiring a flowering period of 70 days to reach maturity. It produces a high yield and is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. In the years following its introduction, the strain has established a distinct genetic footprint, serving as the parent for notable offspring such as Black Mud.
The terpene profile of Black Violet is defined by a complex chemical composition, led by the dominance of limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool. This primary trio is further supported by a wide array of secondary and tertiary compounds, including pinene, beta-pinene, humulene, bisabolol, myrcene, nerolidol, and valencene. The nuanced aromatic and flavor profile is rounded out by trace amounts of caryophyllene-oxide, ocimene, camphene, gamma-terpinene, borneol, eucalyptol, and finished with terpinolene.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Black Violet is utilized primarily for its ability to induce states of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These effects make it a common choice for users seeking relief from symptoms associated with stress, pain, or difficulty with sleep. Through its genetic lineage and chemical composition, the strain remains a recognized selection for those pursuing these specific therapeutic use cases within the modern hybrid market.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.

spicy
●●○○
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: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
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
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
