Haze
by Original Haze Brothers (California, 1970s) · Santa Marta Gold × Wacky Weed × Colombia
About
Haze is the strain that named a family. Before Amnesia Haze, Super Silver Haze, Purple Haze, and every other modern haze you'll find in seed bank catalogs today, there was just Haze, a 1970s California breeding project combining three foundational sativa landraces. The lineage in our database reflects that: Santa Marta Gold × Wacky Weed × Colombia. Three distinct tropical sativas, crossed and stabilized by the growers often referred to as the Haze Brothers, which the broader cannabis community eventually turned into a template for a whole class of uplifting, long-flowering sativas. The terpene profile is exactly what you'd expect from a reference haze. Terpinolene leads at 0.60%, followed by myrcene at 0.19% and ocimene at 0.09%. That terpinolene-forward signature is the clean, floral, slightly citrus character that every strain bearing the Haze name is trying to approximate. If you've ever wondered why "Haze" implies a particular smell even though the name itself is vague, this profile, replicated through generations of breeding, is why. THC ranges between 21.0 and 28.5% across the lab samples in our database. The chemotype classification is "Orange (Terpinolene-dominant)", which in our system denotes the clean sativa expression most associated with the strain's heritage. Reviewers consistently report creative and energetic effects, with earthy, herbal, and spicy flavor notes. Our lineage records show Haze has parented dozens of well-known strains, which is part of why the name appears repeatedly across the broader database. At this point, Haze is more a genre than a single strain, the cannabis equivalent of "IPA" in craft beer where every major seed bank has their own version in their catalog and most of them trace back, eventually, to these three landraces crossed decades ago in California. The original is still in production, which is why you can still find it alongside its more famous descendants.
Why does Haze feel uplifting?
Haze's effects are driven by its dominant terpinolene (0.60%), associated with a mildly sedative yet uplifting experience, combined with myrcene (0.19%), which has sedative and muscle-relaxant properties.
