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 expand its expertise, authority and trust through our expertise and integrity.
Expertise is built through tasting, interviews with growers, visits to weed regions, and accumulated knowledge about cannabis horticulture, taste, history, and culture. Leafly News’ senior editor and freelancers have a combined 50 years of experience with cannabis.
We aim to be fair, impartial and independent, with policies including:
- Actual tastings—If we didn’t smoke it, we’re not reviewing it. Judgment is strongly influenced by experience, and only using the product can enable rating it. At Leafly Weed Spectator, all official ratings of newly-released strains result from live tastings.
- Independence—Leafly weed spectators are paid by Leafly and are independent. We gladly accept review units with no promises of coverage or a good rating. Accepting financial favors can compromise a critic’s judgment and lead to the perception of a conflict of interest. Leafly rating staff cannot accept bribes from the cannabis industry. We pay for our own expenses and arrange our own tastings and itineraries; we set up our official tastings in independent locations.
- Ethical behavior—In order to keep readers’ trust, we act ethically. Every Leafly rater must abide by our Code of Ethics: Serve the reader; and stay close to the plant. Leafly News has been publishing for more than 12 years. Our readers will judge our expertise and integrity, and we have 10 million users per month.
