Permanent Marker (AAA)
Permanent Marker is Leafly's 2023 Strain of the Year — a modern indica-dominant powerhouse born from Biscotti × Jealousy × Sherbet, delivering a sharp ammonia-meets-candy-gas aroma that's unmistakable and 25%+ THC that lives up to the hype. Myrcene and limonene drive the terpene profile, producing a tingly, euphoric, deeply relaxing high that has made it one of the most sought-after cultivars in the current Canadian market.
Elevate Your Stash with Permanent Marker (AAA)
Voted Leafly’s 2023 Strain of the Year, Permanent Marker has quickly cemented its status as a modern legend in the cannabis world. This indica-dominant hybrid is the result of a complex three-way cross between Biscotti, Jealousy, and Sherbet Bx1. The result is a cultivar that balances the creamy, dessert-like qualities of its lineage with a sharp, industrial punch that earned it its name. This AAA selection offers a high-quality experience for those looking to explore this award-winning genetics profile without the top-shelf boutique price tag.
The bag appeal of Permanent Marker is immediate; expect dense, forest-green buds accented by deep purple hues and a thick coating of sticky trichomes. While the aesthetic is impressive, it is the aroma that truly sets this strain apart. It carries a pungent, chemically sweet scent that is reminiscent of a fresh permanent marker, rounded out by floral and soapy undertones that linger on the palate long after the first exhale. Whether you are a fan of modern gas-heavy strains or looking for a potent evening companion, this AAA batch delivers the potency and flavour that made Permanent Marker a household name.
What is Permanent Marker (AAA)?
Permanent Marker is a sophisticated hybrid developed by the innovators at Doja Pak and bred by Seed Junky Genetics. It represents the pinnacle of contemporary breeding, combining the nutty, cookie-rich flavours of Biscotti with the balanced, Gelato-heavy influence of Jealousy, and finally refined by the sugary smoothness of Sherbet. In the AAA tier, you can expect large to medium-sized nugs with a robust structure and a terpene concentration that remains highly expressive.
As an indica-dominant powerhouse, Permanent Marker typically sits in the 22–26% THC range. It is prized for its ability to provide a comprehensive body high while maintaining a level of cerebral clarity that allows for conversation and creativity before the heavy physical relaxation fully takes hold. It is the perfect bridge between the classic “gas” profiles of the early 2000s and the complex “candy” profiles dominating the current market.
The Lineage Behind the Marker
- Biscotti: This parent brings the high THC content and the classic bakery-gas aroma.
- Jealousy: A cross of Sherbert Bx1 and Gelato 41, Jealousy provides the purple colouring and the smooth, uplifting mental state.
- Sherbet Bx1: This adds a layer of creamy, citrus-sweet terpenes that balances the sharpness of the other parents.
Effects & Experience
The experience of consuming Permanent Marker is often described as a creeping euphoria. Within minutes of your first session, you may notice a tingle behind the eyes and a lifting of the mood. This initial onset is bright and social, making it a great choice for shared evenings with friends or relaxing after a stressful workday. However, as the session progresses, the indica heritage becomes more apparent.
Users typically report a heavy sense of physical ease that radiates from the neck down to the limbs. This makes it an ideal strain for those who struggle with restlessness or physical tension in the evenings. While it isn’t always an immediate “couch-lock” strain, higher doses will certainly lead you toward the sofa. If you enjoy the heavy, sedative qualities of Death Tuna (AAA+), you will likely find the body-stone of Permanent Marker to be equally satisfying but with a more modern, flavour-forward twist.
Terpene / Flavour Profile
Permanent Marker is a terpene-heavy cultivar dominated by caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. This combination creates a sensory profile that is wildly unique. On the nose, you will get an immediate hit of sharp ammonia and chemical gas—very much like opening a fresh marker. As you break the buds apart, notes of sweet dough and forest berries begin to emerge.
The flavour is just as complex. Upon inhalation, the smoke is thick and creamy, tasting of tart citrus and earthy pepper. On the exhale, a distinct “soapy” and floral sweetness remains, which is a hallmark of the Jealousy and Sherbet genetics. For those who prefer the deep, earthy funk of strains like Master Kush (AAA), Permanent Marker offers a more contemporary alternative that keeps the pungency while adding layers of sweetness.
How to Use / Dosing
Because of its respectable THC levels (typically 22–26%), we recommend starting slow with Permanent Marker, especially if you are not accustomed to modern indica hybrids. This strain is best enjoyed in a clean glass bong or a high-quality dry herb vaporizer to truly appreciate the intricate terpene profile.
If you are looking for a slightly more energetic daytime high within the AAA category, you might consider God’s Green Crack (AAA+/Popcorn) as a morning alternative, saving Permanent Marker for your evening wind-down. For the best experience, consume Permanent Marker when you have at least two to three hours of free time to enjoy the full transition from euphoria to deep relaxation.
Who It’s For
This strain is tailor-made for the “terp hunter”—those who prioritize the smell and taste of their cannabis as much as the potency. It is also excellent for:
- Experienced users looking for a potent, reliable evening strain.
- Fans of the Gelato and Cookies families.
- Individuals who prefer a sedating body high that doesn’t immediately result in sleep.
- Collectors of award-winning genetics who want a high-value AAA version of a top-tier cultivar.
Storage for Freshness
To keep your Permanent Marker (AAA) tasting sharp and smelling strong, store it in an airtight glass jar away from direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the delicate terpenes (like limonene) to evaporate, leading to a harsher smoke. We suggest keeping your flower in a cool, dark cupboard and utilizing a humidity pack if you plan on storing it for longer than two weeks. This ensures the “candy-gas” aroma remains as pungent as the day you opened the bag.

It has one of the most unique flavour profiles in modern cannabis. Expect a mix of sharp industrial funk (ammonia/gas) combined with creamy candy, sweet dough, and a subtle floral, soapy finish.
How potent is the AAA version compared to AAAA?
Our AAA Permanent Marker still carries very high potency, often testing in the 22–26% THC range. The primary difference between AAA and AAAA is usually found in the bud size, aesthetic perfection, and the intensity of the terpene expression, though this batch remains incredibly pungent and effective.
