Recently, I came across Dark Star Tangie from Edie Parker. This indica – hybrid strain has truly captivated me. In this review, I will share my personal experience with Dark Star Tangie, highlight its characteristics, and explain why it has secured a special place in the Top 5 Tree Donkey Weed Tryouts.
First Impressions
The moment I first encountered Dark Star Tangie, I was curious, I mean if your name fits a Grateful Dead theme, I’m down to check it out for sure! The buds showcase a mix of dark green with orange and purple, making for an eye-catching appearance. I had to take a pic. When I opened the jar, there was an immediate fruit/citrus aroma.
Dark Start Tangie is some good smelling weed! Compared to other indicas – hybrid I’ve tried, Dark Star Tangie stands out with these qualities, and I couldn’t wait to share with my Weed Club constituents!
The Flavor Profile
After admiring the packaging tube containing a single pre-roll, I took my first hit, and the flavor was nothing short of amazing. The inhale was smooth and creamy, featuring slight but for sure presence of a citrus. On the exhale, I noticed a pleasant earthy finish that left me wanting another puff.
Each subsequent hit maintained the rich flavor profile of this Dark Star Tangie I came across. The combination of sweet/earthy created a well-rounded taste. What’s more, all of us Tree Donkey Weed Club members have noted that this strain tends to retain its flavor across multiple sessions, making it a delightful choice any time of day.

Now, let’s explore the effects. As someone who enjoys indicas for their relaxing properties, Dark Star Tangie did not disappoint. Within minutes of my first inhalation, a gentle wave of relaxation flowed over me. The feeling allowed me to settle comfortably into my deck chair while still enjoying a light sense of euphoria.
I appreciate the balanced nature of this strain. Unlike many indicas that leave users feeling unmotivated, Dark Star Tangie kept me uplifted and creatively stimulated. I found myself losing track of time as I decided to build a gate, trim the lawn edges, straighten the deck and have friends over. This strain became a perfect companion for both chillin and productivity.
The effects of this Dark Star Tangie have staying power. As the evening progressed, I to chill more and fell asleep easily later that night. For anyone dealing with sleep issues or stress, I highly recommend giving this strain a try.
