Recognized by its purple color and its genetics, Purple Haze CBD is
one of the legendary strains of cannabis. Mama tells you more about this variety
with its original origins and effects.
Origins of Purple Haze
If you're a Jimi Hendrix fan, you may have realized that "Purple Haze" is the
title of one of his songs. According to legend, it was the singer who
popularized this variety. But others disagree with this version and
say that Jimi Hendrix's famous song refers to a carton of LSD which
was popular in the 70s.
In any case, the original Purple Haze appeared in Amsterdam in the
1960s. This sativa has very powerful effects, with THC levels up to 20%
. I'm talking about original Purple Haze because the
1970s variety found in the USA no longer exists today. The current version
tries to get as close as possible to it, but the genetics remain
different.
However, as its name clearly implies, Purple Haze derives a
part of its genetics from the Haze family. This family includes a variety of strains, all
sativa-dominant and reputed to produce strong psychic effects
that stimulate creativity. Among the most
popular strains in the Haze family are Purple Haze, Silver Haze and Lemon Haze.
Purple Haze has notes of lemon and fruit. This
aroma, and its somewhat mysterious origins, make Purple Haze a very
popular strain with cannabis enthusiasts.
Characteristics of Purple Haze
Among Purple Haze's notable characteristics is, of course, its purple color
. Be careful not to confuse the two: some cannabis flowers can
have a purple appearance when the temperature is low (particularly at the end of
flowering), but they're not necessarily Purple Haze. To make the distinction, Purple Haze has this purple color in the buds, whatever the temperature.
Of course, this is not its only characteristic. Purple Haze is also distinguished
by its medium to large pyramid-shaped flowers.
These flowers are also covered in sticky trichomes, which is why
Purple Haze has psychoactive effects.
If properly dried, the flowers of this variety smell damp and musty. But behind this initial scent lie notes of acidity and berries. In fact, if you grind the flowers, you'll be able to smell a herbal aroma.
Purple Haze's smoke is mild and fairly easy to ingest if you use it in
a pipe or joint. You'll be able to smell a sweet, slightly hashy taste as you exhale.
Although purple, Purple Haze has no grape notes.
Why choose Purple Haze?
Potential benefits include:
● Stress reduction;
● Relief of mild to moderate pain;
● Improved concentration.
These are just a few of the potential benefits. I say potential benefits because CBD research is still ongoing, and few proven effects have been established with certainty.
If you want to try Purple Haze, you can find it on Mama's store in our CBD flower collection. To limit the risk of having a bad experience, always use quality products and respect the recommended doses
. If you have the slightest adverse effect, stop using and
