About Amnesia Haze
Amnesia Haze was developed by Soma Seeds, crossing a Haze hybrid with Afghani and Hawaiian genetics. The result is a sativa-dominant hybrid with an incredibly complex terpene profile: citrus, spice, earth, incense, and sweet tropical fruit. The buds are long, foxtail-shaped sativa structures with medium density and abundant trichomes. Amnesia Haze effects are legendary for their soaring, euphoric, long-lasting high — creative and uplifting without the anxiety that some Haze varieties can induce. The strain became the most popular in Amsterdam coffee shops for over a decade and was the standard by which other sativas were measured.
