Amnesia Haze Seed Strain — Still a Classic Sativa Powerhouse Loved the World Over
The Amnesia Haze Seed strain is among the most recognized, respected, and longest-standing cannabis strains in the world, a genuinely impressive feat of genetic hybridization that still delights users today with its happy and uplifting effects, bright citrus profile, and euphoric high. It is also a favorite with recreational consumers and medical patients alike, and epitomizes quality, energy, and creativity, making it a must-have in any global cannabis collection.
History and Genetics
The Amnesia Haze Seed strain begins it’s story in Amsterdam, the historic epicenter of European cannabis development. Breeders at Soma Seeds were the original creators of this strain, and used to variety of genetics from Jamaican, Laotian and Afghan in order to produce very unique, heavy-hitting hybrid cross. The Afghani heritage of Amnesia Haze provides plenty of resin and stability, and the tropical sativas create a bright and cerebral energy with a citrus-powered terpene profile.
Since Amnesia Haze Seed was introduced to the world in the early 2000s, especially after winning multiple High Times Cannabis Cup wins in a row, notably first place in 2004, it quickly became standard in appetizing coffee shops throughout the Netherlands for its transcendent, euphoric, ultimately happy yet productive experience that has many significant traits in common with today’s “classic” sativa strain.
Appearance, Aroma, and Flavor
In terms of appearance, Amnesia Haze is visually striking. The buds are dense and cone-shaped, with a dense layer of frosty trichomes suggesting good potency. The color scheme is bright green with hints of gold, sometimes accented with some orange pistils, which add a level of warmth and vibrance to the visual experience.
In terms of flavor and aroma, Amnesia Haze’s scent is unmistakably sour lemon and citrusy with a slight sweetness vibrant with earthy notes of spice and hints of tropical fruit. Upon trying Amnesia Haze via smoking or vaporization, the flavor has a similar fresh, tangy flavor profile with hints of fresh pepper flavor to add some zest and a smooth finish on the palate. These bright and refreshing flavors lend themselves well to the energetic and uplifting effects.
Potency and Cannabinoid Profile
Amnesia Haze has THC levels ranging from 20%-25%, providing a strong and long-lasting experience. Even so, the high is said to be clear and easy-balanced, allowing folks to function it to the fullest while still being clear minded but energized. There are also very small traces of CBD, typically less than 1%, ensuring that any waiting therapeutic benefits are minor in this strain. However, the terpenes are varied with at least three important ones: limonene, myrcene, and caryophyllene, all of which are important for aroma and therapeutic benefits.
Limonene notably, provides citrus flavor and mood enhancing qualities, paired with myrcene, which provides a subtle touch of calmness that grounds the high. The caryophyllene also adds a noted spicy kick.
Impact and Experience
Amnesia Haze provides the classic sativa high — energetic, euphoric, and mentally-driven. Users commonly report that upon the first inhale, they are confronted with a rush of mental clarity and creative thinking, which is excellent for brainstorming, artistic or creative tasks, or sophisticated conversations. The stimulating effects can evoke feelings of happiness, stimulation, and motivation, so it is particularly good for daytime smoking.
As the high develops, gentle body relaxation ushers in to provide some balance while avoiding sedative effects. This balance between cerebral stimulation and body relaxation is what allows Amnesia Haze to be a versatile strain for both productivity and recreation. It is especially common among users that need help combating fatigue, stress, or depression, as Amnesia Haze will replace dissatisfaction with elevated mood or “good vibes”.
Because Amnesia Haze is quite potent, newer users are advised to use in moderation and not consume too much at one time — if users medicate too heavily, the user may experience mild dizziness, or (as the strain name suggests) short-term memory loss. However, seasoned users often celebrate Amnesia Haze for its clarity, stimulating effects, and creativity increasing effects.
Medical Uses
Amnesia Haze is a popular strain in both recreational and medical canna-use due to its versatility. Patients suffering from chronic fatigue, anxiety, or mood disorders frequently enjoy its uplifted effects. The cerebral stimulation from Amnesia Haze will minimize depressive thinking, while the mild body relaxation
