Black Cherry Soda

Dark purple in color and fruity in taste, the Black Cherry Soda strain (cultivar) is reported to be a great strain for chronic pain. It is the inspiration behind other sweet fruity strains like Black Dahlia.

A sativa-dominant hybrid known for its high THC content, Black Cherry Soda has energizing effects for many users. Its fizzy, soda-like taste has been described as invigorating, and some people choose this strain to improve focus and concentration. A daytime strain, Black Cherry Soda is easy to grow and has an average flowering period ranging from 50 to 60 days.

Aside from providing chronic pain relief, Black Cherry Soda is also said to be a great strain for combatting migraines and fatigue due to its higher THC level.
