What is the Purple Thai strain?
Purple Thai is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and berry and chocolate flavor profile.
Purple Thai is a mostly sativa marijuana strain that crosses Highland Oaxacan Gold with Chocolate Thai and is characterized by an 80% sativa and 20% indica genetic composition. This legendary strain, also known as Oregon Purple Thai, has its historical roots in the form of "Thai sticks" sometime in the 1960s, quickly gaining popularity for its unique properties. The strain emerged during a time when Purple Thai seeds are a true nod to cannabis history, combining the legendary Chocolate Thai with the bright, uplifting Highland Oaxacan Gold. This cross was bred to harness Chocolate Thai's earthy, cocoa-influenced terpene profile and the vivid, energetic effects of Oaxacan Gold.
Purple Thai produces 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. Some lean tall and lanky (classic sativa energy), while others pack on the flowers with deeper purple streaks when temps dip. The strain's visual appeal is enhanced by resinous, sometimes purple-dappled nugs that showcase its impressive potency and genetic lineage.
