Strains
Permanent Marker: Loud, Luxurious, and Impossible to Ignore
Hybrid
Some strains whisper. Permanent Marker screams—in style. This Galaxy Labs cultivar is loud from the jump, a showstopper that pulls no punches and leaves a lasting impression, just like its name suggests. It’s the kind of strain that announces itself the second it enters the room and lingers long after the smoke has cleared.
We brought out Permanent Marker for a night we wanted to remember. Something about the name said, this isn’t going to be just another smoke session. And it wasn’t.
As soon as the seal popped, the aroma hit like a marker cap snapping off in a small space. It’s unmistakably strong—floral, funky, and chemical all at once. Think: sour grape candy, cherry cola, and something you can’t quite place—like industrial cleaner… but in the best possible way. The nose on this strain is complex, rich, and borderline aggressive. But if you’re someone who loves terps that slap, this is heaven in a jar.
Visually, the flower is next level. These nugs look expensive. Deep purples, blackened greens, and bright orange hairs weave through a dense landscape of icy trichomes. Every bud looks like it was dipped in sugar and trimmed with obsessive care. It’s almost too pretty to grind—almost.
But once you do, the fun really starts.
The flavor delivers on everything the nose promised. Sweet on the front end—grape jelly, sherbet, maybe even rose water—before flipping into something sour, skunky, and strangely savory. The aftertaste is complex and persistent, like the best perfume: layered, deep, and still with you ten minutes later. It’s not just tasty—it’s a full terpene experience that evolves with every hit.
And the high? That’s where Permanent Marker makes its boldest move.
The head rush comes on fast and doesn’t flinch. It hits like a shockwave—eyes low, thoughts wide. There’s an immediate sense of mental lift, but it’s not floaty. It’s heavy. Rich. Saturated. This isn’t a “get things done” high. It’s a “clear your schedule and explore your own mind” high.
Within minutes, everything feels exaggerated in the best way. Music sounds deeper. Colors seem warmer. That snack you forgot about? Now it’s a Michelin-star experience. There’s a trippy quality to the high—a surreal, slightly distorted edge that makes it perfect for deep listening sessions, long conversations, or simply zoning out to a favorite show with the lights turned low.
But what sets Permanent Marker apart is how it blends that cerebral intensity with a creeping, full-body calm. As your mind unspools, your muscles melt. Shoulders drop. Jaws unclench. Your entire body starts to pulse with a lazy, warm rhythm that feels meditative and blissful.
This duality—hyper-engaged mind, fully sedated body—makes it ideal for winding down in the most luxurious way possible. It’s not sleep-inducing per se, but if you close your eyes, don’t be surprised if you wake up hours later in the exact same spot.
The comedown is long and luscious. There’s no hard crash—just a slow, graceful slide into stillness. You’ll feel like you smoked something elite. Because you did.
Galaxy Labs clearly went all-in on this one. The name is bold, the presentation stunning, and the effects undeniable. Permanent Marker is for seasoned smokers looking for something to cut through tolerance. For artists who want to disappear into their medium. For thinkers, dreamers, and anyone who appreciates weed that doesn’t just hit—but haunts in the best way.
