Black Lotus

With a snowy coating and piney aroma, this unique strain (cultivar) is a cross between Snow Lotus by Bodhi Seeds and Pacific Northwest (also called UW Black Hashplant). Moderate to high THC levels make Black Lotus a popular marijuana strain for people with insomnia and chronic pain.

People with arthritis and anxiety may also benefit from this strain of diverse effects. The 70% indica and 30% sativa profile of Black Lotus makes this strain with a spicy, earthy flavor a favorite among people seeking to unwind from a hectic day.

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.

Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.
