If you’ve spent any time exploring Maryland’s top-shelf cannabis, you’ve likely heard whispers—sometimes flat-out declarations—about Permanent Gas, CULTA’s pungent hybrid that has earned Flower of the Month honors in Maryland Leaf Magazine. This cultivar is more than just another jar on the shelf. Permanent Gas represents a meticulous fusion of elite genetics, dialed-in cultivation, and the kind of presentation that makes photographers and connoisseurs alike take notice.

In this spotlight, we’ll break down what makes the Permanent Gas strain special, explore its lineage and terpene profile, and share a behind-the-scenes look at the recent studio shoot that brought its story to life.
What is the Permanent Gas Strain?
The Permanent Gas strain is a hybrid cross of Permanent Marker and Gassy Taffy. Each parent contributes something unique:
Permanent Marker has a powerhouse pedigree of Biscotti x Sherb Bx1 x Jealousy, renowned for resin production, vibrant colors, and a creamy, gassy aroma.
Gassy Taffy adds an unmistakable diesel funk layered with subtle sweetness.

Combined, these genetics produce a cultivar that’s sticky, loud, and visually stunning. From a grower’s perspective, Permanent Gas is known for dense bud structure and abundant trichome coverage. From a consumer’s perspective, it delivers a layered experience that hits both the palate and the mind with equal force.
Aroma, Flavor, and Effects
Aroma and Flavor Profile
Open a container of CULTA’s Permanent Gas Strain, and the first thing you’ll notice is the aroma: pungent fuel with undercurrents of sweet taffy and earthy kush. The nose alone makes it clear why this strain has been recognized among Maryland’s best.

When smoked or vaporized, the flavor closely mirrors the scent—sharp diesel on the front, followed by creamy sweetness and a lingering herbal finish. It’s the kind of strain that announces itself immediately, whether you’re rolling a joint or packing a bowl.
Effects and Experience
Effects-wise, Permanent Gas leans toward a balanced hybrid experience. Expect an initial wave of euphoric uplift and cerebral stimulation that gradually settles into a deep, relaxing body high. Many patients and enthusiasts use this strain for:
Evening relaxation
Stress relief
Creative pursuits

As always, start slow—this flower packs a serious punch.
