What is Colorado Chem?
Colorado Chem is a hybrid in the Chemdog family. Leafly lists Colorado Chemdawg and Colorado Chemdog as other names and gives its lineage as (Chemdawg 91 x Chemdawg 4) and (I-95 x Chemdawg) crossed with Original Glue. Weedmaps says that ancestry comes from one producer's version, sold by Ithaca Organics, and that the original breeder and exact parentage remain unresolved. AllBud also puts the uncertainty down to breeder secrecy.
One naming trap: Weedmaps notes that Aficionado Seed Bank sells a separate Colorado Chemdawg, a selfed Chemdog seed line with an indica lean. Colorado Chem itself took second place at the 2014 Denver Cannabis Cup, which AllBud describes as a People's Choice award.
Look, smell and taste
AllBud describes small to medium, minty green buds with purple undertones and a thick, frosty coat of white trichomes.
The aroma is where the Chem name shows. AllBud describes skunky, pungent earth under a chemical edge, with a sweet, lemony taste on the exhale. Weedmaps leads with fuel, sharp citrus and pepper, then pine and herbs on the flavour and a lingering fuel finish. Leafly reviewers most often pick skunk, menthol and flowery, and Leafly lists limonene, caryophyllene and myrcene as its main terpenes.
Effects people report
Leafly rates Colorado Chem as mostly energizing, and its reviewers most often report feeling euphoric, energetic and happy. AllBud describes an almost immediate cerebral rush that leaves people creative, euphoric and prone to laughter, more introspective than talkative, with a mellow body buzz underneath. Reviews summarized by Weedmaps describe a quick, upbeat head high with physical relaxation settling in below it, and some mention a heavier finish.
The negative effects Leafly users report most are feeling anxious, dizzy and dry-eyed. Because the onset is described as fast and strong, start with a small amount, and do not drive afterwards: Health Canada's lower-risk guidelines advise waiting at least 6 hours.
How strong is Colorado Chem?
Published figures cluster in the low 20s. Leafly lists about 21% THC and 1% CBG and rates it above average for THC, AllBud says 20% or more, and Weedmaps gives 22 to 24%. THC varies by grower and batch, so go by the label on the product in front of you.
Similar strains
