"UW Black, also known as “Black 84” or “UW Black 84,” is an indica dominant hybrid strain of unknown parentage due to a general lack of knowledge about its heritage. Nevertheless, many more experienced users do tend to agree that this bud is likely a descendant of the Afghani family, although the exact strain in question is up in the air. Like its' sister strains UW and UW Purp, UW Black comes from the University of Washington and was brought to its peak of popularity in 1984. This heavy hybrid starts out with a strong sensation starting around the eyes. As you feel your head become slightly swollen, the high will slowly and continually build. This strain gives a strong body high with a strong couch lock. The high potency gives the user a strong relaxing feeling. The high brings a great hunger as you pillage for food in your zombified state. It is wise to use this potent strain at night and in a place you feel comfortable. These effects in combination with its high 22% average THC level makes UW Black the perfect choice for treating insomnia, chronic pain, depression, and chronic stress. The flavor of UW Black is said to be very smooth and sweet with a tropical yet nutty taste that's accented by sweet berries. The aroma is more pungent than anything else with a stench that can only be described as rotting tropical fruits. UW Black nugs are lumpy and a super dark olive green, almost black, with sparse dark hairs and a spattering of chunky crystal clear trichomes."
