Permanent Marker Strain: Effects, Flavor, Terpenes & Products

Permanent Marker is a modern hybrid that gained a following for an aroma people genuinely compare to opening a fresh marker — sharp, chemical-sweet and unusual.

It's one of the more talked-about 'exotic' strains of recent years and shows up across many licensed markets under multiple brands.

It's widely credited to Seed Junky Genetics, with the lineage usually listed as Biscotti × Jealousy crossed with Sherb Bx. Different sources format that cross slightly differently.

Since Jealousy is in its background, Permanent Marker shares part of its family tree with that strain.

Generally sold as a hybrid, frequently described as leaning indica. Treat the label as a rough guide only.

The signature note is a pungent, inky 'marker' smell layered with floral candy, soapy sweetness and a gassy finish. On the exhale some people pick up spice or earthy funk.

Caryophyllene, limonene and linalool are frequently reported. The marker-like aroma is thought to come from a mix of terpenes and other volatile compounds rather than one terpene alone.
