Chocolate Thai

Chocolate is not healthy, then it is. No, it is not that good. So, when it comes to health, there are opposing views. One can pull up scientific studies, and it does not help matters. That is because even in research, there are contradictions. So, enough of that debate. Instead, focus on the Chocolate Thai.

The strain traces its lineage back to landrace Thai Sativa. It then made its way to the United States back in the 60s. It became famous when the distributors used hemp fibers to tie its flowers around the stem. Called Thai Sticks, it was a smashing success. However, it was also not an easy-to-grow plant. Not to mention, it does not have a high yield. As such, by the 80s, it seems to vanish into thin air.

Named after how it smells besides its origin, Chocolate Thai might have been lost forever were it not for DNA Genetics. Fortunately, they did have the seeds of the original phenotype which they grew in developing another hybrid. Then, they have some people keep the strain alive.
