Looking for the best of the best to add to your home garden? Enjoy dank prose from Crystal as she offers a review of one of her Best Smoked Strains of 2024!

As a cannabis enthusiast, one of my favorite, albeit obvious pastimes is trying a variety of strains. I especially love doing that here in Maine where there is a consistent availability of really great flower. The catalog of strains is ever-growing and there is nothing more enjoyable than sampling a grower’s latest creation or revisiting an oldie.

Thinking back to all of the flower that I’ve consumed in 2024, there were many unforgettable cultivars. I have to say, about a handful or so really wowed me, and one of those was Black Patronus.

Bred by Exotic Genetix, Black Patronus is created by crossing the sweet and tasty RS-11 with the breeder’s own Falcon-9, an absolute gas bomb. When I initially opened the jar, the first whiff was all gas and a little bit of sweetness. The nugs of flower were extremely dense and had a very dark green and purple appearance. It was a really smooth smoke, and I loved the balanced flavor of gas and baked goods. It felt like a light indica as the high was very calming, both mentally and physically. I mostly smoked Black Patronus at night, after the dishes and the laundry were done. It was perfect for kicking back, watching a movie, and sharing the couch with my dogs.

There were a few occasions where I found this strain useful during the day, especially when I felt a little too internally hyped. Smoking this allowed that anxious feeling to dissipate and I was able to get back to a grounded and focused place. Overall, the Black Patronus was magnificent. I can not get enough of the taste of fuel-filled dessert, and if you see this one at a local shop, I would definitely recommend picking it up. With dark-hued leaves surrounding trichome-caked buds, this beautiful plant would also make a great addition to any garden.
