Chocolate OG strain guide
Chocolate OG is an indica with an earthy, nutty smell that some people compare to coffee or chocolate. It's a fairly rare name with a patchy history. Most people describe it as relaxing and sleepy, with a giggly start.
Where does Chocolate OG come from?
This one is not well documented. One strain database lists it as a cross of True OG and Chocolate Rain, credited to THClones. Another database says the lineage is unknown, suggests OG Kush may be involved, and notes the name might come from other chocolate strains or simply from its dark-looking buds.
Both agree it's an indica, and one strain database calls it a pure one. Beyond that, treat the family tree as uncertain.
What does Chocolate OG smell and taste like?
One strain database describes it as nutty, earthy and coffee-like, with some reviewers picking up chocolate and a citrus or grapefruit note in the aroma. Another database calls the smell strongly skunky, and one reviewer mentions a diesel flavour. When smoked, some people describe a savoury, almost cheesy taste.
One strain database lists myrcene first, then pinene and limonene. Myrcene fits the earthy base, pinene adds a fresh, woody edge and limonene could explain the citrus some people notice.
Chocolate OG effects: what people report
People most often call it sleepy and relaxed, with a mostly body-focused feel. Some describe a short, giggly or happy head feel at first that gives way to a longer, heavier body feel, and the munchies come up often. One reviewer warns about couch-lock and suggests it for experienced users.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth, dry eyes and headache are the most common complaints, and a few people mention paranoia or dizziness.
How strong is Chocolate OG?
The numbers are all over the place. One strain database lists 12% THC, but reviewers there mention results from about 23% to 28%. Another database says exact THC figures aren't widely available, and its reviewers quote THCA numbers rather than THC, which isn't the same thing (our THCA vs THC guide explains the difference).
With a range that wide, the label on your package is the only number worth trusting. Start small if it's new to you.
Buying Chocolate OG in Canada
It's an uncommon strain, and since its history is unclear, products under this name may not all come from the same plant. Read the label closely and don't assume it matches another chocolate-named strain.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of its nutty, earthy smell.
Chocolate OG vs True OG
True OG is the parent one strain database names, though that link isn't confirmed elsewhere. True OG is a classic OG Kush cut with a lemon, pine and fuel smell and a relaxed reputation. Chocolate OG trades most of that lemon and pine for nutty, earthy and coffee notes, and reports lean even sleepier. True OG is far better documented, so it's the steadier pick. Try Chocolate OG if you're curious about a darker, earthier smoke.
