Black Tuna Cannabis Strain Review
Effects: Relaxed, euphoric, sedative
May Relieve: Chronic pain, stress, inflammation, appetite loss, headaches, anxiety, depression
Black Tuna was created by 5 Star Organic in British Columbia. Contrary to popular belief, this strain got its name from the Black Tuna Gang, a group made famous for smuggling Colombian marijuana into the U.S. in the 1970s.
Black Tuna bud is well-known in Canada for the strong narcotic effect it provides and, as a result, is not recommended for first-time smokers. This strain is also popular due to its whimsical packaging and compelling marketing. Hinting at its name, Black Tuna is packaged in sealed tuna cans, making it a particularly quirky strain.
This strain can also be enjoyed in several forms. Black Tuna is sold in concentrate, wax and shatter form. In some dispensaries, you can even purchase oil pens filled with Black Tuna. Still, this versatile and potent strain is not for the faint of heart, so read along to find out whether this bud is right for you.
What Exactly is the Black Tuna Marjiuana Strain?
This cannabis contains an evenly balanced hybrid of Herijuana and Lamb’s Bread. Black Tuna’s high is commonly described as narcotic and can be overwhelming for even the most experienced smokers. At an average THC level of about 20%, this strain is best for anyone looking for a potent high with euphoric effects.
Herijuana, one of Black Tuna’s parent strains, is an indica-dominant hybrid of Petrolia Headstash and Killer New Haven. THC levels are intense, with some bud’s levels measuring at a whopping 25%.
Smoking this bud induces a high largely described as numbing and extremely potent. Herijuana is most popular among people seeking relief from chronic pain and insomnia, no doubt due to its tendency to provide full-body relaxation. Black Tuna clearly takes after Herijuana in this respect, producing a high often described as completely captivating. Lamb’s Bread is Black Tuna’s other parent strain. Lamb’s Bread is a hugely popular sativa and was a favorite by the legendary Bob Marley.
This cannabis is also referred to as Lamb’s Breath and provides an intense rush of energy and unparalleled mood-boosting effects. This bud is also very potent, with THC levels anywhere from 16-21%. Lamb’s Bread will give you a rush like no other and is known to facilitate positive introspection.
Black Tuna Strain: Appearance, Flavor, and Aroma
Black Tuna’s flowers are dense and compact and covered in trichomes. This strain is a rich green color and also has hints of bluish-purple throughout.
You may be pleasantly surprised to find out that Black Tuna does not taste or smell like fish. Unfortunately, though, this strain’s aroma and taste are not for everyone. Black Tuna has a very pungent taste and tends to carry a strong, woody smell along with a hint of earthy spiciness.
Some smokers find the smell of smoking Black Tuna herb slightly putrid and tart, making aroma one of the obvious downsides to this strain. Although the taste isn’t terrible, it’s definitely not great and is probably best described as simply mediocre.
Black Tuna Effects
The effects of Black Tuna are very powerful and can be overwhelming for novice cannabis smokers. The high of this strain begins as an easy-going ride but rapidly pulls you into a deeply sedated state. Some people report feeling loopy or unable to keep their eyes open, only a few minutes after smoking Black Tuna.
This strain provides an intense cerebral rush that tends to last for hours. Black Tuna is widely known for its ability to produce a strong narcotic effect and can leave you feeling absolutely euphoric.
Expect your mood to be boosted significantly with this strain, followed by a powerful urge to fall asleep. Without question, Black Tuna is a strain best enjoyed in the evening and is definitely not suitable for work. Try out this strain when you have time to kill and need a heavy dose of relaxation.
Medical Advantages of Black Tuna
Black Tuna was created by 5 Star Organic especially for people suffering from chronic pain. This strain’s sedating effects are ideal for pain and inflammation relief, so it’s no surprise that Black Tuna is often purchased to combat painful medical conditions.
Headaches, nausea, cramps and even fibromyalgia are all conditions commonly managed with this strain. This herb is also great for providing an increase in appetite and is an ideal choice for anyone suffering from disorders where hunger is significantly decreased.
Given its ability to provide a powerful euphoric boost, mood disorders like anxiety and depression can also be managed with Black Tuna. This strain’s uplifting sativa effects are perfect for combating stress and may help alleviate symptoms of mild PTSD.
Possible Side Effects
Due to its high levels of THC, Black Tuna cannabis may produce feelings of paranoia and anxiety, especially in people who have never smoked marijuana before. Smoking too much of this strain can also exacerbate symptoms of anxiety disorders, making potency one of the biggest issues associated with Black Tuna.
As with most strains, Black Tuna’s most common negative side effects are dry mouth and dry eyes. As a result, it is strongly recommended to drink plenty of water both before and while smoking this strain.
Final Thoughts
Black Tuna is famous for its sedating, euphoric effects, but anyone who says this is a gentle high is totally lying. Given its fierce potency, this strain is most suitable for advanced smokers or anyone suffering from relentless chronic pain.
If you’re in the mood for a long, deep sleep, look no further. Black Tuna’s deeply relaxing high is best described as a sedating roller coaster ride, complete with an hours-long feeling of euphoria.

For all those who use Cannabis daily, developed a high, or like me, super high tolerance to THC, this strain, or batch I found to be very mellow in strength, but a very nice sticky, stinky weed I enjoyed vaping, and also a Canadian strain…….but for me this particular batch was far from strong or not even close to couch lock – just simple, calmness, but way over-priced for quality, in my opinion!

Wow!! I must say very impressed by this strain. I’m usually buying bulk, and decided to try an oz of this strain, as I want to buy more potent strains in bulk. And I am not disappointed one bit about putting up the 240 for this! Another 5star review for GE and this strain, thanks again guys. Hope to get an order of this in bulk soon. 🙂

Wow this brings back memories!!! This stuff flooded the streets in my home town about 13 years ago. It was around for about 2 months or less and never saw it again ?. It came in a sealed tuna can with a quarter inside for $80 which was expensive since most high grade was going for $60 a quarter around here. Now I always purchase bulk orders ONLY, but since the price for bulk buy is rather steep, I decided to just grab a half o sample. Very nice smoke I must say! Smells very nice but I found taste was even STRONGER than the smell. The stone was a knockout. Very strong just as I remembered. Very dence buds, which are cured perfectly. Although I find the price fits for half ounce purchases, I feel for a bulk purchase $2750 is not worth it. I think it’s more of the name and the story behind the strain that drives the price up. Or maybe GE doesn’t wanna let any go in bulk,? which I can’t blame them lol. Don’t get me wrong, product is bomb top top top shelf smoke and I’m enjoying it, not even sharing with my friends lol. Told em to go get their own whahaha!! Was a super nice treat! Also grabbed a sample of the pink kush and I’ll be leaving a review for that 1 as well as the purple raine. Keep leaving ur reviews mates!!!!! I can’t make a purchase without hearing some feed back. Thx GE for bringing back some happy memories and smiles.
