Colombian Black is a name used in United States grower forums for a dark marijuana said to come from Colombia. Posters writing from 2010 onwards set it beside Colombian gold and Colombian red and recalled it from the 1970s.[1][2][3]
In the forums
In a 2010 THCFarmer thread on "Colombian Black and Gold", a grower raising seed of both wrote that "the blacks indeed turn black, and the gold... well gold", with the black "coming from the norheast and the gold coming from the north".[1] Another poster in the thread called it "100% colombian coastal mountain sativa probably from the manizales area at least I'd hope".[4] A third listed it with Panama Red, Colombian Gold and "Punto Rojo (Colombian Red)" among the seed the poster planned to grow.[2]
In 2011 a poster recalled a Colombian marijuana smoked in 1974, "known to me as 'Candybar'", which came "so black and compacted in one ounce 'bars' that it looked like hash". The poster wrote that it came through a Colombian friend whose source was "an old-time grower from Neiva, Colombia, land of the Colombian Blacks".[3]
Seed sold under the name
The Landrace Team sells a line as "Colombian Black (Llanera)". The seller calls it "a variety from the plains of Colombia in the Casanare department" and writes: "Formerly the collectors called this plant Colombian Black because of a phenotype that shows a very peculiar dark purple color".[5] The line is the subject of Llanera (cannabis).
Colombian names
Colombian sources use the Spanish negra (black) for a highland marijuana at Silvia, Cauca, in 1974, for a variety in a 1976 Santa Marta thesis and for a grade of the Sierra Nevada export trade.[6]: 280[7]: 47[8]: ch. 3 A poster writing from Colombia in 2018 listed "black weed (from the Caldas and Llanos regions)".[9]
