About

Amnesia Haze is one of the enduring Dutch coffeeshop sativas, with a history that gets murky the further back you trace it. Multiple breeders have released versions over the years, each with their own cut and their own genetic paperwork. The Royal Queen Seeds version is the one you'll find in most modern seed bank catalogs, and it's the version in our database. The terpene profile has a surprise buried in it. Despite the "Haze" name, which usually signals a terpinolene-dominant chemotype, our lab samples show Amnesia Haze leading with caryophyllene at 0.35%, with terpinolene a close second at 0.30%. Caryophyllene carries a spicy, peppery note rather than the clean, floral terpinolene character most haze fans expect. The flavor tags in our records reflect this split personality: citrus and herbal from the terpinolene side, spicy and earthy from the caryophyllene side. THC ranges between 17.3 and 23.5 percent across the lab samples in our database. The chemotype classification is caryophyllene-dominant, which is worth noting since "Haze" strains are traditionally terpinolene-forward. Even so, reviewers in our data consistently describe the effects as euphoric and energetic, the classic daytime sativa profile the strain is known for. Our lineage records list Amnesia Haze's parents as Amnesia Haze crossed with Amnesia Haze. That is less a genetic fact than evidence that the strain's real origins have been muddied by decades of clones, cuttings, contested breeder claims, and paperwork that nobody kept properly. What started as a specific 1990s Dutch sativa has become a genetic category as much as a single strain, and at this point the name travels further than the genetics do.

Why does Amnesia Haze feel uplifting?

Amnesia Haze's pain-relieving effects are linked to its dominant caryophyllene (0.35%), one of the few terpenes that binds directly to CB2 cannabinoid receptors. Complemented by terpinolene (0.30%), associated with a mildly sedative yet uplifting experience.
