It has noteworthy potency; THC amounts in the range of 30%. CBD is 0.1% and it has other cannabinoids as well.

Ebony and Ivory has medium-sized dense buds with a fair amount of trichomes that give the buds a silvery appearance. This strain is not terpene-rich but it has significant amounts of myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene. Like most sativas, the plants grow tall and have a light hue of green. The foliage is sparse, making the plants lighter.

The scent from this strain is mildly pungent, sometimes hardly noticeable. When combusted, the aroma is stronger but the earthiness is easily endured. The smoke is gentle to the throat and tastes dank and pine on the exhale. It’s not the strain to induce bouts of coughing.

With generous amounts of THC, this is one strain that hits your head hard. Even small amounts of Ebony and Ivory will cause strong effects on the mind. The high quickly engulfs the mind causing feelings of heightened focus and creativity. This is a thoughtful strain. The mind high is an energizing uplift that helps treat ADD or ADHD. Some patients have also used this strain to induce appetite and treat pain with good results. Due to the high potency, new patients should start on this strain with moderation; otherwise, they may experience anxiety or paranoia.

The body hit is heavy, a patient will feel intensely medicates soon after taking this strain. As much as Ebony and Ivory is not sedating. it is better taken in the evening when you afford to rest. This makes it a good strain for relaxing or working on creative projects.

For a commercial grower, Ebony and Ivory may not excite you as it gives moderate yields and takes a long time to flower.

Terpene Profile

The trichomes that coat the buds carry cannabinoids as well as terpenes. Terpenes work alongside the cannabinoids to boost the healing properties of cannabis. Some patients prefer using cannabinoid isolates such as CBD isolate or THC isolate. This works well when the patient requires the specific cannabinoid in high amounts for a specific reason.

When cannabinoids are combined with terpenes, the healing effect is prolonged and one will feel relieved for a longer time. Patients now prefer full-spectrum extracts for this reason.

Ebony and Ivory contains the following terpenes:

Myrcene
The earthiness that you detect from this strain originates from myrcene. This terpene is also common in mangoes and lemongrass. Myrcene has many healing benefits, most recently it has been suggested that it has antimutagenic effects.

Pinene
Pinene is what you smell in pine and fir trees. It inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and this helps in improving memory.

Caryophyllene
This terpene is spicy and when present in high amounts it stings the nostrils. It is also abundant in basil and cloves and may help treat symptoms of alcohol withdrawal.
