About Permanent Marker
Permanent Marker was created by Seed Junky Genetics and Gas Plant, crossing Biscotti (the Cookies staple) with Jealousy (Compound Genetics' flagship). The result was a strain that perfectly captured the zeitgeist of mid-2020s cannabis culture. The aroma is unique and instantly recognizable — a pungent gas and floral marker-scent reminiscent of a freshly uncapped permanent marker, layered with sweet dough and berry notes. Buds are dense and trichome-heavy with a striking light green and purple appearance. Effects are the 'perfect hybrid': an immediate euphoric head rush followed by a warm, relaxing body buzz that doesn't fade into sleep. Permanent Marker took the industry by storm in 2023, winning Leafly's Strain of the Year and becoming the most talked-about strain in America.
