Jamaica Chocolate
Overview
Jamaican Chocolate hemp variety was created specifically for providing high amounts of cannabidiol (CBD). This was a successful project as the CBD potency fluctuates between 15%- 18% which is about 20 times what you expect to find in other strains. It is also a strain that packs flavors that are not common in most hemp cultivars. Here we are talking chocolate and cookie fantasies that are heavily present in this strain.
Jamaican Chocolate is a terpene rich strain that has appetizing fragrances with little hints of skunk due to the presence of myrcene. The flavor of chocolates and cake are heavily present in this strain.
Well cured buds will produce a pleasant aroma that quickly fills up the room once you light up. Ingesting the smoke will be even more exciting as the different sweet tastes hit different parts of your palate. It is upon exhaling that you will detect a gasoline taste that may be slightly sour. Spicy notes will feature long after you have exhaled.
The appearance is typical of sativa leaning strains with long tapering leaves and small rounded nugs. The dominant color is olive green that has been coated with a sticky layer of milk white. Though small, these buds are difficult to break without using a grinder.
