What actually makes a strain feel “balanced” instead of just strong?

In this episode, we break down Black Triangle, a strain that hits that rare middle ground. You feel it in your body, but your head stays clear. Relaxed without being stuck. Calm without checking out.

This is one of those strains that challenges the idea that higher THC automatically means a better experience. Because this one proves it doesn’t.

What We Talk About:

• Why Black Triangle feels like a true 50/50 hybrid, not just labeled that way

• The difference between feeling “high” vs feeling good

• How limonene and other terpenes shape the experience more than THC alone

• Why this strain makes you more talkative instead of shutting you down

• The surprising gap between THC percentage and actual effect

• Vaporizer differences and how they impact what you feel

• Why some devices hit harder even at the same temperature

• A real-world test of how much is “too much” and what that actually feels like

The Experience (Simple Version):

Black Triangle is one of those strains where:

• Your body loosens up

• Your mind stays sharp

• Conversations get easier

• You feel present, not spaced out

It is not a couch-lock strain.

It is not a jittery head high either.

It sits right in the middle and does it well.

What Stands Out:

The terpene profile matters here.

Limonene leads, which likely explains why this feels elevated without anxiety. Then you have support from other cannabinoids like CBD and THCV, which may be helping smooth things out.

[Inference] Based on known terpene behavior, this combination leans toward mood support and clarity, not sedation.

Who This Is For:

• New consumers who want something balanced

• Daily users who want to stay functional

• Anyone who wants to feel good without feeling gone

What We’d Skip or Question:

There is a moment in this episode where a topical balm is said to cause a strong psychoactive effect.

That is not how topicals are generally understood to work.

Topicals typically do not enter the bloodstream in a way that causes a full-body high.

[Unverified] That experience is anecdotal and likely influenced by other variables, not just the topical itself.

Final Take:

This is a reminder that cannabis is not about chasing the highest number.

It is about how it feels.

Black Triangle delivers a calm, clear, social experience that a lot of people are actually looking for but do not know how to describe.

Rating: 8/10

One of the better balanced hybrids we have had.

If you want a strain that helps you stay in the moment without dragging you down or spinning you out, this is one worth trying.
