Blackberry Pie strain guide
Blackberry Pie is a balanced hybrid from Gage Green Genetics that crosses Jojorizo's Blackberry Widow with Crystal Locomotive. It's known for a sweet berry smell with a nutty, baked edge, and for a calm, happy feel that people often pair with a creative mood.
Where does Blackberry Pie come from?
Blackberry Pie is credited to Gage Green Genetics, a breeder known for berry-forward hybrids. Both main listings give the same cross: Jojorizo's Blackberry Widow, a berry-scented Widow line, and Crystal Locomotive, a Trainwreck-family strain.
That puts White Widow and Trainwreck somewhere in its family tree. Beyond the two named parents, the details of how it was selected aren't well documented, and it stays a fairly niche strain.
What does Blackberry Pie smell and taste like?
As the name suggests, berry comes first: dark berry and blueberry, with grape mentioned on some listings. Underneath there's an earthy, nutty layer and a little pine, and a few people describe a cookie-dough or spicy note that gives it the "pie" part.
Published terpene results most often lead with myrcene, followed by pinene and caryophyllene. Myrcene brings the soft, earthy fruit, pinene the fresh pine and caryophyllene a peppery bite.
Blackberry Pie effects: what people report
People usually describe Blackberry Pie as relaxing and happy, with a euphoric lift early on that settles into a calm body feel. Creative is one of the most mentioned effects, and so is hunger. Some people say it turns sleepy later in the session, while others find it focused enough for the afternoon.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the batch, how much you have and your tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the usual complaints, and a few people mention a headache.
How strong is Blackberry Pie?
Published figures vary a lot. One listing puts it at about 16% to 17% THC, while another lists 26%, and reviewers report batches in the low 20s. Very little CBD is reported, though one listing notes about 1% CBG.
With a range that wide, the label on your product is the number that counts. Start low and give it time before having more. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what the numbers mean.
Buying Blackberry Pie in Canada
Blackberry Pie is a smaller name, so check that the product really is this Gage Green cross and not a different berry or pie strain with a similar name. Names like Blackberry or Blueberry Pie are separate strains.
If you find it, it's most likely as dried flower or pre-rolls. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower holds more of the berry smell.
Blackberry Pie vs Trainwreck
Trainwreck sits in Blackberry Pie's family tree through its Crystal Locomotive parent, but the two land in different places. Trainwreck is a sativa-leaning classic with a sharp, piney, lemony smell and a fast, racy reputation. Blackberry Pie trades that for sweet berry and nutty notes and a calmer, more balanced feel. If you want a bright daytime classic, Trainwreck fits. If berry sweetness and a relaxed mood sound better, try Blackberry Pie.
