Colorado Chem is a hybrid strain that is said to be sativa dominant, although it is not for certain due to breeder secrecy regarding its true parentage. This powerful bud took 2nd Place for “People’s Choice” at the 2014 Denver Cannabis Cup because of its insanely high THC level of 20% or more and its long-lasting head heavy effects. This high starts with an almost immediate cerebral head rush that hits you fast and hard with an extremely uplifted and energized effect that leaves you insanely creative and euphoric without any sense of ever coming down. Although you’ll be more introspective than talkative in social situations, you’ll find yourself prone to fits of uncontrollable laughter. This intense head high is accompanied by an anchoring mellow body buzz that keeps you linked with reality with a sense of relaxed laziness. These effects make Colorado Chem a perfect choice for treating conditions such as lack of appetite, chronic stress, mild to moderate cases of depression, nausea, and chronic pain. This bud has small to medium-sized minty green nugs with rich purple undertones and hairs as well as a thick frosty coating of tiny crystal white trichomes. Like its name suggests, Colorado Chem has a harsh aroma of skunky pungent earth with a chemical overtone that can outshine some of the other smells. The flavor is of sweet skunky earth with a slightly lemony pungency that can be tasted upon exhale.
