Where Did the Name Come From?
Super Boof was bred by Blockhead, a lesser-known cannabis grower and breeder with a loyal underground following. The strain was originally released under a different name: Blockberry.
Blockberry was a cross between Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies, two cannabis strains already known for strong flavor and intense color. But when Blockhead’s creation started to gain popularity, it picked up a new nickname: Super Boof.

What Does “Boof” Even Mean?
Here’s where it gets fun. Traditionally, “boof” was slang for bad weed, something low-grade or undesirable. In older cannabis culture, to “boof” something could also mean to waste it. But in true stoner fashion, the term was flipped on its head.
When Blockberry hit the scene, people joked that it was too strong, that it “boofed” them, meaning it knocked them flat. Others used “boof” in a playful way to describe how hard the strain hit despite its candy-like flavor. Soon, “Super Boof” became the unofficial name, combining irony with hype.
The name stuck.
