I ve been smoking this strain regularly for about three years now. Sometimes nothing can compare to that classic old school haze. The cerebral high is a hard-hitter, makes me extremely focused, talkative and happy, it erases every iota of stress within me and gives me monster munchies. But it also causes a bit of paranoia for a few mins, which is easy to handle for me. One of my all time favs. But if u have a tendency or history with paranoia, then u shouldnt try this strain.
Great for pain and definitely gives you a happy uplifting feeling,and also easy to be with it if you got anything to do
•yowza, what a mind+body euphoric🔥💣-blast!• Presently smoking a BEAUTY-bud — Curaleaf's T-25% Haze, and after a mere 3 small bong-tokes, am a giddy & childlike-high.. of which i have not been in a very long time! • ¡Euphoria🔥overload! • • Highly recommend, albeit best-suited for long-timers. Newbies, start slow/even ONE hit w/any high-thc content, to truly enjoy this proud 🍊&🌲 piney parent of so many energizing sativa strains! •
It was awesome. I somked it on a warm sunny day, and everything began to shine in a strange kind of way. I can recommaned it to everybody. Awesome strain.
Being that Im from NY is basicly 1 of the most common strains in the city.Is like a must smoke,you cant come to NY and not smoke some HAZE,is like coming to the city without walking thru time square or eating a slice of pizza or even cheesecake.Hands down,the best HAZE I've ever had you can find it anywere in Washington Heights AKA HOME OF THE HAZE.
The third picture in the gallery shows the best example of what I consider the best actual strain of haze. It's that fluffy nug that peels apart like a banana rather than having to grind it in a grinder.
It's what we call "piff" which is a beige color accompanied by dark green tinges with dark hairs and smells like dryer sheets. We also call it Manhattan brown basement Haze because most of this particular type of haze mainly came from New York and nowhere else in the United States for a long time and is still relatively hard to find this particular type of haze anywhere on the west coast that I know of.
Out of all the strains of haze I smoked this is not only the tastiest but also smells the best inspires a lot of creativity but my most favorite attribute is how it initially hits you. It has to do with how clear your vision gets and its almost hard to explain but I like to say it's like watching a standard definition television every time you smoke any other kind of bud, but when you smoke this it's like watching high definition TV. Everything you see becomes sharpened and vivid and crisp almost as if it's not real. Followed by a general sense of euphoria and happiness
It also happens to be one of the only types I have ever smoked that I did not become accustomed or immune to and did not have to start smoking more and more to still feel the desired effects.
If they allowed me to I would rewrite the types of cannabis to say 4 instead of 3. I would say indica, sativa, ruderalis, and HAZE! (Even though I haze is a super sativa)
Had the Crockett Family Farms version of haze. This is a pretty powerful smoke. The citrusy aroma can't be beat, and this bud is the stickiest bud I've ever encountered. I like sativas but I usually like there to be some relaxing factor. I wouldn't say there is much of a relaxant effect. I don't feel that drop in anxiety like you do with most weed. However it still puts you in a great place. I feel very energetic right now and just generally good vibes. Certainly more energizing than most strains. Good for physical activity or going outside for the day.
I could write a book about Haze. About its origins, its history, how O Haze seeds take 20-24 weeks to flower, & about how the Original Haze wasn’t worked or bred very well, causing O Haze seeds to produce 25% legendary plants, 50% decent to fairly excellent plants, & unfortunately, 25% total garbage due to the fact that O Haze is an F1 cross of pure landrace sativas that maintained most of the genetics of the landraces used to breed it - a fact that was especially frustrating since it flowers for 5-6 months. O Haze could grow several different phenotypes but the sought after varieties were named for their color: Green Haze, Brown or Golden Haze, & the most rare but most sought after phenotype, Purple Haze. Several high quality Haze varieties were also a combination of these three, & most O Haze seeds would grow combination phenos that also had some of the undesirable characteristics as well.
The most important thing to state right away is that Leafly is totally incorrect about there being Mexican, Thai, & South Indian Genetics in Haze. Original Haze was bred using 3 pure sativa landraces from Colombia. Haze is 100% sativa with 100% Colombian genetics.
Its parents are: Santa Marta Colombia Gold, Colombian Red or Colombia Punta Rojo (nearly identical to Panama Red. Which makes sense. Colombia and Panama were the same country until 1903), & Chocolate Colombian (a phenotype of Wacky Weed - a strain that was once one of the only types of weed most people in the US could find).
It was available as early as 1950 & I’ve got a first hand, confirmed account of it being available in New York in 1953. Most other infamous, early landrace cannabis didn’t arrive until the 1960s.
Wacky Weed was an unfortunate name that derived from the fact that it was here in the 1950s, & people back then were generally pretty cheesy. Especially when it came to naming weed apparently. Ironically, for a strain that was once ubiquitous here, & was one of the only strains available in the US, it’s considered extinct today, & nobody has been able to identify a Colombian landrace that’s quite the same).
The Haze Brothers selected some excellent phenotypes to use as the parents of Santa Cruz Original Haze, but they weren’t breeders. Not that much was known about breeding cannabis back then anyway (some accounts claim it was bred in the late 1960s, & others put its origins in the early 1970s).
Regardless, the fact that Santa Cruz Original Haze aka O Haze wasn’t consistent is precisely why Nevil Schoenmakers spent most of 1985-1988 growing as many O Haze seeds as he could, over several generations, selecting for the best traits, until finally he’d succeeded in creating his infamous Haze A & Haze C males, which were his finalized high quality Haze plants, after he’d bred most of the garbage genetics out, & consolidated the plant’s most sought after traits into his the two distinctly different, but equally high quality plants.
Born in Australia, Nevil moved to the Netherlands in 1976. He’d spend most of his adult life living and working in Amsterdam. Widely considered the most important figure in the history of cannabis breeding (along with David Paul Watson, aka Sam the Skunkman, who first supplied Nevil with O Haze seeds, as well as seeds of Cali Orange, & Skunk #1 in 1985), Nevil founded the first Seed Bank in the world, which was known simply as The Seed Bank, short for The Seed Bank of Holland. He was also the first to ship cannabis seeds internationally in any significant quantity (having advertised The Seed Bank’s catalogue in High Times Magazine throughout the mid-late 1980s).
Most people have smoked a Haze Hybrid made from the Haze A and Haze C males. What most people consider to be pure haze are actually offspring of Nevil’s 1989 cross of (Northern Lights #5 x Haze A). He was the first to make that cross, & it produced several Holy Grail offspring, including the one-of-a-kind gem known as NYC Uptown Haze, Bronx Golden Haze, Cuban Black Haze, The Church, Frankie (From its unique & extremely pungent Frankincense like odor), The Cough, or simply The Piff. Significant numbers of S1 seeds were made from Nevil’s first batch of (NL5 x Haze), & it’s from these seeds that Karma’s legendary A5 Haze was found.
Somehow a lot of people growing the Black Haze (actually a combination of Green Haze & Brown Haze genetics), both in Florida and in NYC got the idea that they were growing pure haze. Which is definitely not the case. Cuban Black Haze aka The Piff takes between 3-4 months to flower. O Haze takes 20-24 weeks. What became known as NYC Uptown Haze & Cuban Black Haze was actually popular all up and down the I-95 corridor. I first smoked it in DC in 1997 & was told it was called Cough. As well as that it was Nevil’s original cross of (Northern Lights #5 x Haze A).
When I moved to NYC for college in 1999 & smoked “Bronx Goldie” as well as Piff for the first time, it was obvious that it was the same plant. Nothing else smells like it. When I visited my boy Adam at the University of Miami, he was raving about how amazing the Miami Pure Haze, as he called it, was, from the moment he picked us up at the airport. It was exactly the same as The Cough I’d had in DC & The Piff from NY. Although he insisted it was only available in Florida and that it was pure haze. That’s apparently what most people that grew Cuban Black Haze in Florida were told. And a lot of them believe it to this day. But everytime the high was identical, the flower looked the same: elongated, fairly loose buds that were dark green, with lots of brown hairs, & smaller than typical trichomes, although they coated the flowers. Most telling was the smell. That Frankincense and basement chem dankness that smelled unlike any other herb I’ve ever smoked.
Haze A & Haze C have both died out, but they became two of the most important plants in cannabis breeding history. Along with Northern Lights #5 & Skunk #1, their genetics lived on in Nevil’s Diesel, Nevil’s Haze, The Cough / Piff, Jack Herer, Super Silver Haze, Mango Haze, Skunk Haze, Afghan Haze, G13 Haze, the Amnesia Hypro cut of Super Silver Haze, & many more plants bred mostly by Amsterdam based breeders like The Super Sativa Seed Company, Sensi Seeds, Flying Dutchman, Delicatessen Seeds, Mr. Nice Seedbank, Greenhouse Seedbank, Barney’s Seeds, & many others.
Nevil’s Haze, Jack Herer and Super Silver Haze / Mango Haze used both of Nevil’s original Haze A & Haze C males in their genetics. (Some accounts claim Jack Herer only has Haze C genetics however). So while Nevil’s original males may be lost, their genetic lineage lives on in so many hybrids, it’s impossible to count them all.
