Chocolate Kush is an indica-leaning hybrid marked by its sweet, dessert-like aroma. It was created by Spanish company 00 Seeds, who have stabilized strains like White Widow and Bubble Gum. This strain is a cross between pure indica Mazar and Sensi Star — these two combine to create a hybrid with serious bag appeal.

Chocolate Kush’s high has a slow, easy onset that makes it a user-friendly option for cannabis newcomers. Bracing and energizing at first, this strain confers an upbeat feeling that may elevate the smoker’s mood. It may also provoke an increase in thoughtfulness, allowing smokers to work on any tasks at hand with a clear head and deliberate intent. If you’re planning to accomplish work when enjoying Chocolate Kush, though, try and finish up quickly; within an hour or so, smokers typically slide into a thorough feeling of physical relaxation. Limbs may feel heavier as breathing happens more easily and any muscular tension evaporates. In high enough doses, Chocolate Kush may even induce a deep, restful sleep. This flavorful strain is best enjoyed during the late afternoon or early evening, when its gradual steps down from energy into relaxation can be fully savored; if used before bed, it may leave users too hyper-alert. Note that drymouth is commonly reported as a negative side effect.

What is Shake?

Shake, quite simply, consists of small pieces of the cannabis flower that have broken off the full flower bud. Shake is found at the bottom of cannabis dispensary jars filled with flower buds or the bag that holds your purchased bud. Shake is a completely normal by-product of handling and moving marijuana flower. It’s used in pre-rolls or sold separately.

It’s important to note, some cannabis consumers look down on shake as being lesser quality. This can be an error in judgment. While shake cannot be compared to a full, top-tier marijuana flower bud, shake can have a decent cannabinoid profile, especially if you purchase your cannabis flower from a high-quality dispensary.
