Chupacabra looks like a sativa and acts like an indica. With tall, bright green buds that fray into even brighter orange hairs, this wild strain reeks of its Golden Goat heritage. This strain, bred by Colorado Seed Inc., brings together Hawaiian Romulan’s mental stylings with Island Sweet Skunk’s brilliant tropical aroma, and is finally anchored by Gupta Kush. This 50/50 hybrid will leave your mind sizzling as you nestle into your favorite piece of furniture.

Chupacabra — A Moment of Peace Wow… Chupacabra is amazing. After one of the hardest weeks I’ve had in a while, this strain somehow helped put me back on my feet today. For the first time in days, my head finally feels quiet. No constant noise, no racing thoughts — just calm. And honestly, I can finally say this: I feel at peace with myself, even if it’s only for a moment. Chupacabra starts with a beautiful euphoric lift that brings some focus and energy, but slowly melts into a deeply relaxing, introspective state. The effect creeps up on you and lasts for hours, gradually turning into a peaceful, hazy body relaxation. The flavor is just as interesting — sweet and fruity at first, followed by a funky skunky note with a touch of vanilla on the exhale. For me, though, the real magic wasn’t the flavor or even the strength. It was the silence in my head. After a difficult week, Chupacabra gave me a little moment where I could finally breathe, slow down, and just be okay with myself. Amazing strain. Definitely one I’ll be coming back to.

Got a couple prerolls at Indian Trail Farms. I smoked a joint this morning. It is hitting me behind my eyes. My focus is incredible. My fibromyalgia, neuropath, shoulder pain are controlled. I am smiling, and my mood just got a lot brighter. I am awake. Which in the past few weeks has been difficult. I am loving this strain and will definitely purchase more.

Chupacabra's bulbous bud specimens are perfection: dense, purple-ish, frosted all over with trichomes. The volatile terpenes from ground bud and stems smell unique for pot but similar to the beloved culinary condiment known as sweet and sour sauce, which is amazing. The smoke's taste is very noticeable, a menthol, grassy, sweet wildflower. The stony effect is very mellow, but not incapacitatingly sedating, it mellows via euphoria, a sense that everything is ok and will be ok. It enhances the mind's lucidity and the body's actions via a reduction of inflammation that allows for more lubrication and greater freedom of thought and movement with less effort. This is a very medicinal and pleasurable strain. Creeper weed, too, slowly writhing up from the chest to the brain stem to all the brain's neurons, healing all the way. Really activates the mind. Five stars.

The description here is a bit misleading. Chupacabra is a cross of Golden Goat and Gupta Kush. Golden Goat is in turn a cross of Island Sweet Skunk with a cross of Hawaiian Sativa landrace and Romulan, while Gupta Kush is a cross of Ghost OG and Blue Moonshine. I didn't find this strain to be very visually appealing, but crikey was this strong and rather menacing with a high that is a direct flight to la-la land. I felt a very prominent kush presence. Hits hard in both mind and body. I didn't get any creeper effect as it kicked in quicker than usual compared to other strains. You can quickly find yourself in a dark and bewildering place if you aren't careful. I stumbled into this dark side more than once, even after making what I thought were the necessary adjustments in dosing size and timing. I even noticed a few seasoned hardcore weed veterans backing down after a short session. But when it's on it's ON. Not a daytime strain unless you spend your days unemployed with nothing better to do. Puts me in a cartoon-like, sluggish euphoric daze. Heavy doom weed that will push you around. Sometimes it's like you're on something else entirely...

Very unique strain. Purple buds with bright orange hairs, Chupacabara is definitely hard to miss and worth giving a try. The high is mellow and relaxing putting you into a euphoric state, great for the end of a long day.

Out of the five different strains we have been harvesting at Indian Trail Farms lately this one has the most distinct smell. Tropical but earthy. The seven footers that are flowering now have giant colas which still have three weeks to mature. I just smoked a few hits off a joint I rolled from a bud from the previous harvest and it is still fresh and tastey. I was just enjoying the zone but decided to write this and my high changed to a more creative focus. Definitely great quality indoor organic cannabis from Indian Trail Farms in Machias, ME at a reasonable price ($8\ g)

This is definitely one of the BEST hybrids I've ever smoked. To me, it features the qualities I look for in both an Indica and a Sativa. It's definitely a creeper, so don't take to many hits to quick otherwise you'll regret it. I took 6-7 hits out of a bong within 5 minutes and was too stoned to do anything for about an hour. The body high was extremely heavy, very couch-locking with an appetite boast. The head high was also very heavy, starting in the temples and slowly spreading to the rest of the head. It wasn't clear-headed at all, more foggy and trippy then anything. It also had some very intense visual distortions going on, which I personally enjoyed. All in all I'd definitely get this strain again and again.

Since I tend to lean more towards indicas, I was hesitant to try Chupacabra, and man am I glad I did! A perfect balance between giddiness and chill, Chupacabra lit me up and then slowly, gingerly, set me down. If you are looking for a strain that will bring out your social side while at the same time turning on the cruise control, this is it!
