The 6 Best Chocolate Weed Strains to Enjoy

For everyday smoked cacao lovers, it stands to reason that some of our favorite strains would share some of the same essences as chocolate, especially considering how important both are to contemporary stoner culture.

Chocophile stoners the world over know how much mood-boosting a single candy can deliver, but it’s more than just kibble that combines weed with cocoa. Chocolate is rich in the terpene linalool. It also contains one of the first discovered endocannabinoids, anandamide, which interacts with the same endocannabinoid receptors as THC.

But weed and chocolate are connected through more than just biology. When cannabis is bred to enhance its chocolatey properties, the results can be more than delicious; they can be bloody transcendent. Chocolate strains are labeled as such because of their genetics (many coming from crosses of Chocolate Thai or Chocolope) or their distinctly chocolatey terpene profiles. Anyway, the chocolatier the variety, the more we’ll be forced to stock up.

Check out some of our favorite chocolate flavored cannabis strains below and explore strains of all flavors in the Weedmaps app.

chocolate chips

A direct descendant of Afghani, Chocolate Chunk is a potentially calming strain with a sleepy reputation, perfect for stoners who prefer a smooth euphoria that unfolds properly until bedtime. Users describe Chocolate Chunk as having a sleepy, crunchy high accompanied by a swelling chest high that typically seeps through the body, calming both racing thoughts and aching body parts. Chocolate Chunk features low levels of CBD, and both therapeutic and recreational users are celebrating the strain’s potential stress-relieving potency.

Expect a botanical, floral, chocolate scent and a pungent, pine-infused cacao extract.

Chocolate Diesel

An even cross between Sour Diesel and Chocolate Thai, Chocolate Diesel tends to be slightly peppy but seems to deliver a balanced effect overall. Users report a potentially energetic onset that typically resolves into an unfocused, cottony head high and an easygoing, sluggish body high. The euphoric overtones make her a useful strain to store—especially on moody days. Therapeutic users report potential fatigue relief, while Rec users report a typically deep, cushioned stone that’s worth relaxing with.

Expect a strong, gassy chocolate scent and sour diesel exhaust.

Chocolate Skunk

Stoner chocolate freaks looking for a bright, peppy high should check out Chocolate Skunk, a cross between underground favorite Chocolope and all-time favorite Skunk. The effects of this strain are said to be energetically distorted, and many users describe the high as optimal for functional, everyday stoners. Rec users describe an energetic euphoria that can become laser-focused on completing tasks like household chores or cerebral projects with little effort. And therapeutic users enjoy this strain as well, reporting potential relief from chronic pain and fatigue.

Expect creamy mocha flavors and an exhale to match.

chocolate mist

Smokers who avoid the lazy stoner stereotype might enjoy this Haze phenotype, which delivers some delightfully uplifting chocolate vibes while maintaining a light-hearted, focused energy that’s synonymous with the Haze genealogy. Chocolate Haze is reportedly ultra-long-lasting, with THC percentages typically peaking at around 25% and highs that generally morph into light, giggly euphoria rather than sleepy kibble.

Expect a spicy, woody chocolate aroma and a floral, bitter chocolate scent.

chocolate glue

This rare cross of Gorilla Glue and Chocolate Lava is potentially sedative with a bright euphoric vein that fans of the strain say keeps the high airy and multidimensional, rather than fluffy and thick. Some users of Chocolate Glue celebrate the strain’s potentially blissful, alert, creative, and meditative qualities, while others experience super relaxing physical effects. This dynamic balance makes the search for this hard-to-find strain worthwhile—as if the chocolate flavor wasn’t enough to pique interest.

Expect sweet citrus and dark chocolate on both the aroma and exhale.

chocolate mint

For chocolate lovers who prefer a syrupy, calming high, Chocolate Mint is likely a pretty fitting addition to the stash jar. A cross between Emerald OG and Grand Daddy Purps, Chocolate Mint is reported to deliver a euphoric, contemplative head high and a deeply couch-locked body stone. Rec users describe a high-performance stone that’s potentially calming under certain conditions (read: warm couch, yummy munchies, endless Netflix). Others find it meditative and rejuvenating (read: picnic blanket, sunshine, good book). Therapeutic users report possible relief from bad moods and aching joints.

Chocolate Mint gets its name from its rich, complex chocolate exhale and bright, minty nose, rather than a line of chocolate. Knowing this, expect a nuanced profile that includes both cool mint notes and warm peppery notes.
