Chocolate Posion
Chocolate Poison is a modern hybrid-sativa strain derived from the genetics of Poison Kush. Designed for cultivators seeking high yields in both indoor and outdoor environments, the plant exhibits a moderate growth difficulty and reaches maturity after an average flowering period of 63 days. This strain serves as a significant genetic milestone, as it is the direct parent of the notable 517 Gorilla Glue.
The chemical profile of Chocolate Poison is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy led by caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool. These are supported by a diverse secondary and tertiary concentration of myrcene, guaiol, nerolidol, bisabolol, humulene, beta-pinene, pinene, camphene, terpinolene, geraniol, caryophyllene-oxide, and ocimene. This specific arrangement of aromatic compounds contributes to the strain's distinct sensory profile, grounding its complex scent and flavor nuances in a balanced chemical architecture that favors dominant caryophyllene traits.
As a THC-dominant variety, Chocolate Poison is characterized by effects that are primarily creative, uplifted, and euphoric. These attributes make it an effective choice for tasks requiring intentional focus, as well as for social settings where increased engagement is desired. Its reputation is anchored in its ability to facilitate creative output, cementing its utility as a functional, high-yielding hybrid that continues to influence modern breeding lines.

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.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
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.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
