Users report feeling the following effects: LA Chocolat strain boasts of its THC level that ranges from 27% to 29%, making this strain the best option for veterans. Smokers are delighted with these flavors: Oh, and those wonderful chocolates.Being balanced hybrid, LA Chocolat is the child strain of Chocolope and LA Confidential strains, created by DNA Genetics. Definitely worth a look! It has it's flaws but they are easily covered up by it's great performances (particularly by Binoche), beautiful scenery, giddy musical score, and delightful story. Chocolat is a mouthwatering piece of movie magic. Apparently the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences share my views as the film was nominated for five academy awards, Best Picture, Best Actress (Binoche), Best Supporting Actress (Judi Dench), Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Score. Granted at times it does become at bit silly, but it all ends to a good warm effect. Some critics find it to be overly simple, but I think that it is the movie's simplicity that drives it to become so charmingly enthralling. In the end all characters realize the error of their ways and live together happily and harmoniously.
