About Sugar Haze
Sugar Haze is an exquisite sativa hybrid bred by pairing a pure highland Santa Marta Colombian Gold landrace with a sweet phenotype of Original Haze. Unlike sharp, peppery classic Hazes, Sugar Haze boasts a delightfully sweet terpene profile of ripe tropical fruit syrup, sweet peppermint candy, citrus blossoms, and subtle sandalwood incense. The plants grow tall and majestic, producing long, resinous spears with pale green calyxes and golden pistils. It delivers a fast-acting, soaring cerebral high characterized by intense euphoria, creative expansion, and lucid focus without physical heaviness.

The Story & Lineage Origin
🇨🇴 1. Highland South American Heritage
Sugar Haze was developed by European seed masters seeking to preserve the legendary psychedelic clarity of 1970s Santa Marta Colombian Gold while modernizing the flower structure and sweetness using an elite Dutch Haze cut.
🍬 2. Sugary Tropical Sativa Expression
The cross tamed the harsh woody undertones of old-school Hazes, replacing them with a refreshing bouquet of candied tropical fruits, sweet sugar syrup, and fresh mint leaves.
🎨 The Lucid Awakening: Renowned among musicians and artists, Sugar Haze produces a long-lasting, introspective and uplifting head high that invigorates the imagination for hours without causing physical lethargy.
