Grower: Humble Gardens
Rating: 4.5
The following diary entry is shared to provide insight into my personal use of cannabis to alleviate a series of medical and health issues.
Permanent Marker from Humble Gardens opens with a sweet petrol aroma followed by pine and lemon, sour berries adding a tart, vivid counterpoint, and a soapy, waxy pine quality that clings to the fingers. Grinding the bud rewards generously, the sweet ripe sour berry notes blooming with greater intensity and clarity, and the dry pull delivers a rubber note that completes the profile with a grounding funkiness entirely in keeping with the Permanent Marker lineage. The flavor is a more concentrated and direct expression of what the aroma promises — gassy and rubbery up front, resolving into something fruitier and more open as the session develops, a satisfying arc from intensity to ease.
The high from Permanent Marker is a journey in the fullest sense of the word — unhurried, immersive, and deeply rewarding. The body begins with an easy relaxation before progressively slowing, tension releasing in stages as a heavier physical calm settles in with quiet authority. The mind, however, remains alert, creative, and genuinely engaged throughout — active in the head even as the body downshifts beneath it. It is a high that invites thought and rewards it, pairing a slow, steady physical descent with the kind of thoughtful, exploratory mental experience that makes time pass meaningfully and leaves the consumer feeling like they have actually been somewhere by the end of it.
Permanent Marker from Humble Gardens is highly recommended for consumers who appreciate a fuel-forward, complex aroma profile and a high that delivers an enviable combination of physical ease and mental creativity. This is a cultivar that earns its reputation — well-grown, well-expressed, and genuinely memorable. One that I am a huge fan of.
