Chocolate Thai

This review is about the legendary Chocolate Thai sticks from the 1977 to 1980 era. I obtained the genuine Thai sticks several times during this time period. At the time, three large thai sticks cost about $75, Each thai stick had about 3.5 grams of sensi flower bud with the chocolate flower tops tied to a small bamboo stick. The potency had to be 20+ % THC. Potency was outstanding and impressive. You simply could not smoke more than 1.5 bowls per day. The bud had an earthy pungent smell and was perfectly cured. The intense sativa high from .5 grams lasted about 5+ hours. It was neither speedy nor sleep inducing; great for walking and hiking The current strains available have a similar high but lack the intense quality of the genuine thai sticks. The high was dreamy, cerebral, and focused. Music sounded fantastic - I remember listening to Cream Live Volume 2 " White Room" repeatedly. The dreamy visual effects transported me to the Far East!!. This strain was highly coveted, hard to obtain, and disappeared after 1981....

If you're smoking something even slightly green and pretty, its not Chocolate Thai. Not by a long shot. Chocolate thai looks terrible, it's got sparse, runny buds the color of dead oak leaves pretty much. And by all appearances, it might actually be extinct at this point. Which is a shame because.. well.. if you have never actually smoked it, you can't possibly understand the depths of my frustration regarding it's loss. Real Chocolate Thai's effects are lyrical, euphoric, cerebral, creative, like candy for the spirit and soul.

I'm used to really heavy head or body highs. However, this strain had a very functional high. Its a light uplifting high. I found best results but smoking as a blunt or out of a bog. No harshness. Smells like dark chocolate. Leafy and very slightly sticky. Great for during the day use.
