About Chocolate Thai
Chocolate Thai is one of the most storied landrace sativas in history, hailing from the Thai highlands and prized along the Hippie Trail in the 1960s and 70s. Its genuine chocolate-and-fruit aroma and flavor were unlike anything else of the era, and its effects were famously soaring, psychedelic, and long-lasting. It was historically consumed in hand-rolled "Thai sticks" — thin, flavorful sativa flowers tied around a bamboo skewer.
