Black Zushi is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of Kush Mints and Larry Bubba. Suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, this variety requires moderate growing experience and rewards the practitioner with a high yield. Black Zushi completes its flowering cycle in approximately 53 days, offering a consistent timeline for those managing these specific genetics.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Black Zushi is defined by its primary concentration of myrcene, followed by secondary notes of caryophyllene and tertiary hints of limonene. This specific terpene arrangement governs the sensory experience, grounding the strain in earthy, musky undertones while providing structural complexity through its spicy and subtle citrus components.
Consumers of Black Zushi report effects characterized by a relaxed, happy, and uplifted state of mind. Due to its THC concentration of approximately 10.4%, the strain is frequently selected to address stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. There are currently no notable offspring recorded for this lineage.

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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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

morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
