Despite the label, chemical cannabis strains do not taste like bleach or any other unpleasant chemicals. Rather, the taste is reminiscent of chemicals as many modern cleaning fluids have intense lemon smells. Furthermore, these strains also tend to have a hint of diesel or gasoline in their aromas. There is some debate over whether this is due to the terpene humulene or the result of a mix of terpenes such as caryophyllene and myrcene.
Most chemical flavoured cannabis strains are genetically linked to Chemdawg, which is a hybrid of Sour Diesel and OG Kush. However, there are a number of other chemical strains, such as OG Chem, Sour Chem, Catfish, Purple Chemdawg, Chem 4, and Alien Rift. You can explore all of these strains and more on this page to learn more about them and their effects.
