The Official Description
Black Sugar Rose is an indica-dominant hybrid with an aroma of musk and freshly cut flowers. Color’s Black Sugar Rose is a cross between cultivars Critical Mass and Black Domina, giving it its unique properties. The dark green buds are densely coated in amber trichomes accented with bright orange pistils and strong THC potency potential. Dominant in beta-caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene, this cannabis flower is earthy and floral with a hint of toasted sugar.

First Impressions
Our first thought is “they didn’t go fancy on the packaging”, but thankfully it’s reflected in their pricing. For us, the bags are a con. We prefer packaging that’s recyclable, and bags don’t travel well without fear of squishing the buds. The one bonus is the listed terpene profile. Not enough companies do this, and we think it’s super relevant information that should be on all packages. So kudos to Color Cannabis for including that.
Speaking of terpene profiles, this batch boasts an impressive 3.99% percent, with beta-caryophyllene, farnesene, beta-myrcene, and limonene as the majors.
Once we wrangled the bag open, we were greeted by a musky smell with a faint floral/sweet aroma. The sight of nice, green, whole buds was reassuring. The buds were a little dry, with few crystals, but much better looking than expected.
This particular batch was packaged on June 21, 2021 (today is November 10, 2021). Color Cannabis also includes a Boveda pack to help with freshness.

The Experience
We smoked a joint for this review, using Pure Hemp Unbleached rolling papers. The effects were felt almost immediately, and it hit hard. After just a few puffs, that familiar cloud starts to form and reality starts to take on that dream-like quality. Before you know it, the mind starts wandering about anything and nothing, and you almost forget that you’re in the process of smoking a joint. A few more puffs and we were officially “high”, leaving us stress-free and blissful.
The cerebral effects did not last long (about 15 minutes). As the mind cleared, the body relaxed. We got so relaxed that it was hard to get up off the couch. The sensation of calm took over, and then a sudden desire to either take a nap or eat some food. We chose a nap and slept pretty solid considering it was mid-day.
The flavour was nothing out of the ordinary. Fairly earthy, with subtle hints of what can only be described as burnt sugar. The joint smoked well, no coughs, and burned evenly. The joint did produce enough resin to require a re-light every now and then, which is always a good sign. The ash colour ranged from dark grey to white, also a good sign.
Finally, the last photo is what was left of the joint before we tapped out. There’s enough for a round two which is amazing for a strain that’s only $27 for an eighth.

Final Thoughts
Black Sugar Rose by Color Cannabis hits on all points. You get the classic indica sensation at a fantastic price point ($7.71/gram).
We definitely recommend saving this strain for evening time slots. It would make a great start to a “Netflix and Chill” evening, or as a sleep aid. The full-body sensation was nice, though the intensity took us for a bit of a surprise.
Overall, we give Black Sugar Rose by Color Cannabis an 8 out of 10. It could easily become the “go-to” budget strain for those who like heavy-hitting indica’s.
