Chocolate Haze
Chocolate Haze is a modern hybrid-sativa strain derived from the genetic crossing of Colombian Red and Colombia Sativa. This hybrid pedigree results in a plant that reaches maturity after a 66-day flowering period. With a moderate difficulty rating, it is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, consistently rewarding growers with a high yield.
The chemical profile of Chocolate Haze is defined by a complex dominance of myrcene, followed by pinene, caryophyllene, and nerolidol. Further tertiary components include beta-pinene, humulene, ocimene, limonene, linalool, and bisabolol. This diverse sequence of terpenes informs the sensory experience, providing a distinct aromatic and flavor nuance that characterizes the strain.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Chocolate Haze produces effects commonly described as creative, uplifted, and euphoric. These characteristics make it a functional choice for social settings, enhancing focus and facilitating periods of creative output. The genetic influence of the variety is evident in notable offspring such as MaiThai and Sweet Talker, which carry forward its foundational traits.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
◈
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
△
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
