Chocolate OG is a pure-indica strain (100% indica) that is a cross between Chocolate Rain and True OG, a genetic combination that gives is a rich, palatable aroma and progressively stronger physical effects. Chocolate OG’s THC content has been measured at between 19% and an astonishing 29%.

This strain has a strong, Skunky aroma and flavor, while the bud is dark green with brown hairs, dense nugs, and a frosty layer of trichome crystals. When properly cured, Chocolate OG bursts with a sweet, cocoa-laced aroma. A deeper whiff, however, may reveal a pungent, almost cheesy tang. Breaking apart or grinding up these buds releases some hashy, spicy notes, passed on from OG Kush. When Chocolate OG is combusted, meanwhile, it burns with a smooth but sour, mouth-puckering smoke. On the exhale, this smoke leaves traces of earthy, coffee-like flavor.

This strain is predominantly a physical high testifies to its pure indica heritage, delivering a potent body buzz with psychoactive effects and a powerful case of the munchies. This makes Chocolate ideal for treating lack of appetite and unhealthy weight loss. It’s also effective against chronic pain. This strain is known to be quite strong, but exact details about its THC content aren’t widely available. The same is true of the CBD levels in Chocolate OG, which means the strain probably shouldn’t be used as primary treatment for conditions that respond to CBD, such as seizure disorders. Side effects may include dry mouth, dry eyes, and paranoia, while dizziness and headaches are also possible. It’s probably easiest to find Chocolate OG on the West Coast and in Colorado, but it’s uncommon even there.
