Interested in this story? Want to know the best strains? In this article, we reveal everything you need to know about the legendary Haze family!
The Haze story: between chance and uncertainty
The origins of Haze
The history of the Haze cannabis family dates back to the 1960s-1970s. It is believed to have originated in the city of Santa Cruz, on the west coast of the United States in California, the birthplace of Cali Weed.
The first hybridization of seeds in this family is said to have been carried out by the famous "Haze Brothers", R. and J. Haze. According to legend, the two brothers amused themselves by randomly crossing several landraces they had in their possession: varieties very popular at the time of the Hippie Trails, such as Colombian Gold, Mexican Sativa, Thai Sativa or Indian Sativa.
This is how they would have discovered, almost by chance, one of the varieties that would give rise to one of the most famous cannabis families in the world.
The arrival of Haze in Europe
Gaining popularity in the United States, Haze is believed to have reached Europe by establishing itself in the Netherlands in the years following its creation.
The mystery remains, however: no one really knows howthe variety arrived in Amsterdam. Several myths circulate about it.
One of them attributes the introduction of these flowers to Europe to the famous founder of the Seed Bank of Holland, Nevil Schoenmakers, who supposedly obtained the seeds directly from the Haze Brothers in 1969. He is also credited with the famous Nevil's Haze.
Another version credits Sam "the Skunkman," the brilliant breeder behind Skunk #1 and inventor of the Static Sift extraction process (based on static electricity). Sam, whose real name is David Watson, is said to have arrived in the Netherlands with several thousand seeds in his suitcases.
Finally, a third hypothesis suggests that the Haze Brothers themselves brought their seeds to Europe, without intermediaries.
In any case, one thing is certain: Haze did indeed arrive in the Netherlands in the 1970s-1980s, where it was perfected and hybridized to give birth to the legendary varieties we know today.
One family, common characteristics
A complex culture
The flowers of this family are not the easiest to cultivate: they require special care and attention. According to some legends, their lineage almost disappeared because they were so difficult to grow and maintain.
Furthermore, their flowering period is particularly long, lasting between 12 and 16 weeks, whereas some varieties flower in as little as 6 weeks. Their yield is also more moderate than that of most sativa-dominant hybrids.
Despite these constraints, the genetics have been preserved due to the exceptional quality of these flowers, their iconic and tasty aromas, and, of course, their powerful effects.
Typical flavors
Haze strains are renowned for their complex aromatic profiles and pronounced flavors. They generally reveal dominant spicy and woody notes, often accompanied by hints of incense and pepper.
Most varieties complement this bouquet with herbaceous accents, citrus notes, hints of damp earth, and sometimes even sweet and floral touches.
Their fragrance is often described as rich, persistent and instantly recognizable, a true delight for enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
Powerful effects
As pure sativas that can reach over 25% THC in their American and Dutch versions, flowers from the Haze family are often described as stimulating, creative, and euphoric.
In their CBD version, Haze strains are also known for their potent and balanced profile.
Easily containing 20 to 25% CBD, these flowers provide a profound sense of calm and a pleasant feeling of euphoria, giving the impression of feeling light and relaxed.
