About Purple Thai

Purple Thai traces back to a Thai sativa line carried to Hawaii in the early 1970s, where it was selected for its sativa vigour and purple coloration. It is historically significant as a direct parent of DJ Short's Blueberry, passing on the deep berry-and-grape character and exotic sativa depth of that legendary strain. Purple Thai itself delivers a soaring, cerebral sativa high with a sweet, fruity character.
