Genetics

Permanent Marker is an indica-leaning hybrid bred by the renowned Seed Junky Genetics. It’s a powerhouse cross of Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb Bx—a trio of heavy-hitting strains known for their rich flavor profiles and potent effects.

• Biscotti brings dense structure, creamy dessert-like flavor, and a relaxing body buzz.

• Jealousy contributes vibrant purple hues, complex terpene expression, and a balanced high.

• Sherb Bx (Sherbet Backcross) rounds it out with sweet, gassy undertones and euphoric cerebral effects.

This genetic combo gives Permanent Marker its intense aroma, high THC content (often 25–30%), and balanced effects that blend body melt with mental calm—earning it a loyal following and the title of Leafly’s 2023 Strain of the Year.

Appearance

Permanent Marker grabs your attention with dense, chunky buds that showcase deep shades of purple and forest green, often accented by bright orange pistils and a thick coat of glistening trichomes. The buds are tightly packed and resin-heavy—sticky to the touch and visually striking. Its bold coloration and frosty finish reflect the strain’s potency and rich lineage, making it as eye-catching as it is powerful. Whether on the shelf or under a macro lens, Permanent Marker looks as loud as it smells.

Aroma

True to its name, Permanent Marker delivers a loud, lingering aroma that’s hard to forget. The nose opens with a sharp blast of chemical funk and sweet candy gas, layered with hints of earthy pine, floral notes, and sour berries. There’s a complex mix of sweet, spicy, and slightly astringent tones that blend into a rich, almost incense-like funk—a signature of its Jealousy and Sherb lineage. This bold, in-your-face scent is one reason why Permanent Marker stood out enough to earn Leafly’s 2023 Strain of the Year title.

Taste

Terpenes

Permanent Marker’s bold aroma and powerful effects come from a rich, complex terpene profile dominated by limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool—a trio that brings both flavor and function.

• Limonene adds bright citrus top notes and may contribute to the strain’s euphoric, mood-lifting effects.

• Caryophyllene delivers a peppery, gassy edge and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and potential to ease stress.

• Linalool softens the profile with subtle floral and herbal undertones, and may promote a calming, body-relaxing vibe.

This terpene trio works together to create a sweet-meets-spicy funk that’s both energizing and grounding—perfect for hybrid lovers who want flavor, depth, and balanced effects.

Effects: How will the Permanent Marker strain make me feel?

Permanent Marker delivers a balanced, full-spectrum high that starts with a euphoric cerebral lift and gradually settles into a deep body relaxation. The initial onset brings a wave of mental clarity and mood elevation, often sparking creativity or a hazy, giggly calm. As the high deepens, a heavy, soothing body buzz sets in—ideal for unwinding without total couchlock.

Thanks to its high THC levels (often 25–30%), this strain is best suited for evening use or experienced consumers looking for strong, long-lasting effects. Whether you’re chilling with friends or escaping into your favorite show, Permanent Marker makes its presence known—and lingers.
