Smell / Taste
Amnesia Haze is a sativa-leaning family that brings together old-school genetics from Thailand, Jamaica, Hawaii, Cambodia, Laos and Afghanistan.
Most versions sit around 70–80% sativa and 20–30% indica. People know them for their bright citrus smell, layered flavours and THC that usually lands between 20 and 22%.
Dutch breeders put the pieces together back in the 1990s, and it didn't take long before Amnesia Haze became a staple in Amsterdam coffee shops and picked up top prizes at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2004 and 2012.
Read MoreWhere amnesia haze came from
Nobody agrees on every detail, but most stories point back to the Netherlands in the nineties.
One version says an American breeder called David Paul Watson gathered Thai, Jamaican, Hawaiian and Afghani landraces and brought them over to Amsterdam.
A Dutch breeder named Zwiep then crossed those with Neville's Haze, a famous line made by Nevil Schoenmakers, and that's how Amnesia Haze was born. Another story reckons it came from Bubblegum and Super Silver Haze, though fewer people buy that one.
Either way, the backbone is a mix of Southeast Asian, Afghani and Jamaican landraces, tidied up and stabilised by Dutch experts.
Don't muddle it with plain Amnesia, which is a different Californian cross of Bubble Gum and Super Silver Haze.
What it smells and tastes like
There’s a strong smell of lemon and lime straight away, backed up by earthy notes and a whiff of incense, sandalwood and spice.
Some people catch woody, peppery Haze vibes, plus hints of mint, liquorice, pine and cardamom.
The taste follows suit: zesty citrus with sweet earth, spice and a touch of cedar, then a peppery, herbal finish. Some plants lean toward fizzy lemon-sweet flavours with floral and creamy edges, while others bring out marjoram, mandarin and even toffee.
The main terpenes doing the heavy lifting are limonene for that citrus punch, myrcene for a softer herbal layer, and caryophyllene adding a bit of spice underneath.
Amnesia Haze is often called a terpene bomb because the smell is strong, complex and hangs around.
Awards and why it's still a big deal
Amnesia Haze took first place at the High Times Cannabis Cup twice, once in 2004 and again in 2012, which is pretty rare. It also grabbed second in the Highlife Cannabis Cup Bio Haze category and made High Times' list of the twenty-five best cannabis varieties ever.
After it hit the streets in the nineties, it spread like wildfire through Dutch coffee shops and helped shape what a whole generation expected from good sativa.
It's still one of the most wanted strains in Amsterdam and across European cannabis clubs, often selling out fast.
People call it 'ami weed' or 'ammo weed', and it's also one of the top sellers in Canada. Its reputation as the definitive Haze, the real deal, has made it a go-to parent for newer hybrids like Dedoverde Haze and Blue Haze.
Seed options and what the plants look like
Amnesia Haze seeds come in feminised photoperiod and autoflowering versions. The feminised ones are known to take twelve to fourteen weeks outdoors to finish, or about 84 to 91 days indoors.
Autoflowering types can stretch up to 150 centimetres and still pack dense, frosty buds with THC hitting 22%, keeping that classic taste intact.
Because it's mostly sativa, Amnesia Haze grows tall. Plants usually reach around 120 centimetre.
The buds are tight and chunky, bright green with orange streaks, and covered in thick trichomes that give them a glazed, frosty look.
Amnesia Haze Strains Frequently Asked Questions
It's mostly sativa, around 70 to 80%, with 20 to 30% indica. The roots go back to Thai, Cambodian, Laotian, Afghani, Jamaican and Hawaiian landraces, all tidied up in the Netherlands during the nineties.
