About Permanent Marker
Permanent Marker is the definitive modern exotic powerhouse of the 2020s. Bred by master cultivator JBeezy of Seed Junky Genetics and selected by Ryan Bartholomew of Doja Exclusive (Doja Pak), Permanent Marker is an intricate three-way polyhybrid uniting the heaviest dessert-gas genetics in California: Biscotti, Jealousy, and Sherb Bx. The flowers are chunky, spear-shaped jewels of deep violet, charcoal, and emerald, blanketed in a dense crystalline frost of bulbous trichomes with short copper hairs. The terpene profile is immediately arresting—unleashing the unmistakable, acrid chemical solvent punch of a freshly uncapped industrial permanent marker, layered with sour grapefruit zest, sweet floral perfume, soapy candy, and heavy cookie dough gas. Consuming Permanent Marker delivers an instant, intense mental rush that wipes away anxiety and lifts spirits, before slowly saturating every muscle fiber with an ultra-relaxing, euphoric body melt that lasts for hours.
