About Dutch Treat
Dutch Treat is a classic cannabis strain that emerged from the Dutch breeding scene in the 1980s, most widely credited as a cross of Northern Lights and Haze-type genetics. It is known for its exceptionally sweet, piney flavor with notes of eucalyptus and citrus candy, and a dense, sticky bud structure that glistens with trichomes. The effects are cerebral and uplifted with a comfortable relaxing undertone, making it a versatile daytime and social strain. Dutch Treat has been a mainstay of West Coast dispensaries for decades and holds fond nostalgia for the 90s era.
