Why CULTA’s Permanent Gas Strain Deserves a Spot in Your Stash—Flower of the Month Review

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.

Behind the Scenes with Maryland Leaf Magazine


As a photographer specializing in cannabis, capturing Permanent Gas was a reminder of why product photography is so rewarding. This shoot was commissioned by Maryland Leaf Magazine to showcase their Flower of the Month selection, and it was clear from the moment the jar was opened that this strain was in a category of its own.

  • Balanced effects that satisfy both mind and body

  • Impeccable presentation true to the CULTA brand


Whether you’re a patient, a collector, or someone who simply appreciates premium flower, Permanent Gas deserves a spot on your shortlist.
