Chocolate Diesel weed’s effects are typical of many other potent sativas. The high is extremely fast-acting, cerebral, and intensely euphoric and leaves users feeling uplifted. It also provides a short-term energy boost, so it’s a popular choice among cannabis lovers who like to ‘wake-and-bake.’
Let’s delve deeper into this strain’s attributes.
Aroma
Chocolate Diesel has a diesel-like scent inherited from its parent strain, Sour Diesel. It also has subtle undertones of fresh pine and earth detectable in a well-cured bud.
Flavor
For fans of Sour Diesel, Chocolate Diesel is sure to be another hit. The flavors are also strongly reminiscent of its parent strains, creating a taste that alternates between the two. There are faint tinges of wood and earth on the inhale, but the taste is overwhelmingly diesel.
Chocolate Diesel’s smoke gathers into a sour, acrid cloud on your tongue. Most users describe the smoke as quite harsh on the throat and lungs, causing them to cough.
On a more pleasant note, this strain does have a noticeable cocoa flavor on the exhale. Once again, diesel notes undercut this chocolate taste, but it’s more pleasant than the initial inhale.
Appearance
Chocolate Diesel’s flowers are medium in size, circular, and muted green. A generous coating of white trichomes and curly, bright orange pistils complements the plant’s overall light green hue.
Despite being a sativa, Chocolate Diesel looks a bit like an indica. The nugs are densely packed together to form tight circular shapes.
