Its popularity has since faded dramatically, but it remains an effective tool for treating muscle spasms and chronic pain.

Dutch Treat

Hybrid 40/60 — THC 18–25%

Not surprisingly, Dutch Treat is an Amsterdam staple, an indica-dominant hybrid with a 20:80 sativa/indica ratio. The strain's limited sativa genetics produce a near-instant head rush, followed by a numbing body high somewhere short of couch-lock.

Dutch Treat has THC levels reaching 18-25%, so it's strong but not aggressively so.
