22 reviews
Amnesia Haze was developed in the Netherlands in the late 1990s and early 2000s, created by crossing original Haze genetics with Afghani, Hawaiian, and Jamaican landraces to create a powerful sativa that combined the Haze's cerebral energy with broader genetic diversity. The strain is named for its disorienting, memory-blurring potency. It became one of the most popular strains in Amsterdam's coffee shop scene and has won multiple Cannabis Cups. Amnesia Haze is considered one of the defining strains of the Amsterdam cannabis culture alongside White Widow and Northern Lights.
