Hybrid – 50% Sativa /50% Indica
THC: 15% – 20%, CBD: 1%
Chupacabra is a rare evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain created through crossing the powerful Hawaiian Romulan X Island Sweet Skunk X Gupta Kush strains. This bud is hard to come by outside of the Hawaiian area, but trust us – you’ll be coming back for more after you taste its unique flavor and feel its long-lasting high. Chupacabra has a taste that’s initially very sweet and fruity, but takes a savory skunky turn upon exhale with notable hints of vanilla. The smell is of pungent earth with a skunky pungency and rotting tropical fruit effect that’s released as the nugs are burned. Chupacabra buds have flat long dark olive green nugs with purple undertones and bright amber hairs that are completely coated in matching dark amber crystal trichomes. The Chupacabra high is just as satisfying as the effects, creeping up on you slowly and lasting for hours on end without having to re-dose. The high starts with a euphoric lift that infuses you with a temporary sense of energy and focus. As your head high grows, this effect will quickly become sedative, lulling you into a hazy introspective state and leaving your body open to falling into the same sleepy state. Thanks to these effects and its high 15-20% average THC level, Chupacabra is often chosen to treat conditions such as chronic pain, headaches or migraines, depression, stress, and muscle spasms or cramps.
Unlike its namesake, Chupacabra buds are anything but discrete. Although it’s incredibly unlikely that you’re going to stumble across the real chupacabra randomly, it is likely that you’ll get a whiff of this bud and be led directly to the source. The smell created when breaking up these flowers is that of pungent earth mixed with skunk and sweet rotting fruit. These buds are often long and flat in nature, much like other Sativa-dominant flowers, with olive and purple hues to boot. They are often accented with tiny, thin orange hairs and a thick coating of amber trichomes.
Thankfully, Chupacabra’s effects are long-lasting which helps to combat the scarcity of this bud. You won’t be smoking every hour on the hour when you’ve got some of this flower in your stash. Like its elusive namesake, this strain is a creeping stalker of a high that sets in quite slowly and then takes control of you all at once. The Chupacabra high begins with a quick boost of euphoric energy which will quickly get you on your feet. While you mull over possible tasks that need accomplishing, a soothing body buzz will subtly mosey its way into your muscles and relax your aches and pains. As the cerebral high grows, so does your creative energy and focus. Many find that this strain is great for breaking depressive cycles while also alleviating stress and insomnia.
The downturn of this high is thankfully quite relaxing. As the cerebral high fades the body buzz will build into a relaxing and sedative experience. Many cannabis smokers, recreational and medical alike, have reported this bud is great for winding down in the evening before bed. However, others have found ways to beat this sedating downturn which can make this a great day-time strain as well.

Looks:
Carrying a quintessential chronic look, Chupacabra’s buds are bright green, speckled with orange hairs, and usually have average trichome coverage. Structure can go either way, though most of the versions I’ve seen are on the compact side.
Smell:
Chupacabra smells like a tamer Golden Goat, with a creamy layer hanging over the skunky funk, adding a welcome cheesy aspect to the mix. Hints of berries and spicy vanilla come at the end — thanks, likely, to the Gupta — providing an anchor for even more balance.
Flavor:
As might be expected, those complex cheesy, skunky and berry notes are quieter in the flavor, with Chupacabra tasting more sour and spicy than anything else. But there are noticeable hints of orange and vanilla if you look for them.
