Purple Thai is a legendary strain, also known as Oregon Purple Thai. It combines the best of two of the most famous sativa genetics, Oaxacan Gold and Chocolate Thai (Chocolope was born from a cross of Chocolate Thai x Cannalope Haze). This sativa-dominant hybrid (80% sativa / 20% indica) offers a unique and potent experience that appeals to both growers and experienced consumers.
The Purple Thai plants stand out for their large airy buds typical of good sativas, with a forest green color and dark purple hues that catch the eye. The buds are popcorn-shaped, covered by a thick layer of white, milky trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Small, intense orange hairs peek out from the mint green leaves, completing an impressive visual spectacle.
Flavor and Effects
The aroma of Purple Thai is a delightful mix of earth and berries with a surprising touch of coffee and chocolate. When the buds are broken, a potent chocolate-coffee aroma is released, hinting at its exquisite flavor. When consumed, the nutty and chocolate taste with a hint of coffee is reminiscent of a hazelnut latte with chocolate syrup. When vaporized, you can also perceive a delicate spiced berry flavor that adds another layer of complexity to its profile.
The effect of Purple Thai is as impressive as its flavor. With THC content ranging from 20% to 23%, its high hits almost immediately, providing a dizzying cerebral rush that sends you soaring into a psychedelic journey. This energetic and motivating boost can be overwhelming for novice consumers, but for the more experienced, it is a gateway to creativity and euphoria. It is ideal for treating chronic fatigue, moderate depression, chronic pain, and stress, although it is not recommended for those prone to anxiety or PTSD.
