Haze is a classic sativa-dominant strain arising from a complex genetic background that includes Colombian Gold, Mexican, Thai, South Indian Indica, and Malawi Gold. Cultivating this variety presents a significant challenge for growers. Designed primarily for outdoor environments, the strain is known to produce a low yield. It is credited to have laid the foundation for numerous hybrids, serving as the genetic backbone for notable offspring such as M2, Amnesia Haze, CBD 3D, Northern Lights, Afghanistan - Indica, Amnesia White, Lemonade Haze SWAG, Siberian Haze, Greased Monkey, Gummy Bears, Limepop, and Blue Dream.

The aromatic and sensory profile of Haze is defined by a diverse terpene composition, led by a dominant presence of terpinolene, followed closely by myrcene and ocimene. This base is further supported by caryophyllene, beta-pinene, and limonene, while smaller concentrations of pinene, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, humulene, eucalyptol, and nerolidol provide additional nuance. As a THC-dominant cultivar, its chemical expression prioritizes cannabinoid content, resulting in a distinct sensory experience that reflects this specific hierarchy of volatile organic compounds.

Haze is characterized by its capacity to elicit energetic, creative, uplifted, and happy states of mind, making it well-suited for tasks or situations that require heightened focus and creativity. The strain is frequently utilized in social environments, where its stimulating nature is considered beneficial for maintaining engagement. Due to its influence, Haze remains a pivotal genetic resource for breeders, maintaining a status that continues to define the development of many modern sativa-leaning hybrid varieties.
