Horchata Strain Overview
In 2022, breeders at Compound Genetics saw a golden opportunity to fuse the genetics of Jet Fuel Gelato with Mochi Gelato. The outcome? Horchata – a stress-relieving balanced cultivar with a calming yet energizing effect. Brimming with fragrant terpenes like myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, and ocimene, Horchata smells and tastes like earthy cinnamon and coffee mixed with a hint of chocolate. It is a popular option among patients seeking respite from the symptoms of depression and PTSD. Although intensely relaxing, Horchata consumers also report feeling somewhat talkative after a few puffs.

Horchata Strain Dosage Recommendations
Some batches of Horchata may exceed 24% THC. This strain is a heavy-hitter, so start slow (1 to 2 puffs) and gradually increase as needed after waiting 15 to 30 minutes to assess the effects. It may be best to avoid Horchata entirely if you have a low THC tolerance.
The right dosage can vary greatly from one user to the next. If you have questions about finding the right dosage or product type for your needs, consider consulting with a medical cannabis doctor, or you can request a consultation with NuggMD’s Cannabis Concierge.
