Price: $17/gram

Oni Seed Co’s cross of GMO x Sour Dubb promises savory stanky gas, and The Forest in Missouri delivers. Black Garlic looks dark and smells like a lights-out indica. Savory GMO funk mixed with Sour Diesel gas fumes. Will reek up your clothes. Smoking it hits vanilla, then strong gas like sucking on a dirt bike tailpipe; leaving you seriously cooked.

Leafly News cannabis ratings and ethics

Leafly News aims to retain and expand its expertise, authority, and trust.

Expertise is built through years of reviews, interviews with growers, visits to weed regions, and accumulated knowledge about cannabis horticulture, flavors, history, and culture. Leafly News’ editors and freelancers have a combined 50 years of experience with cannabis.
We aim to be accurate and independent, with policies including:
