Purple haze is one of the marijuana varieties that has gained great popularity among cannabis users. Do you know its history, origin and unique properties? We invite you on a journey through the world of marijuana species.
Purple Haze is a legendary marijuana strain that has gained fame thanks to its unique characteristics, such as its intense color, action profile and interesting genetic profile . It is a hybrid strain of marijuana with a sativa predominance (approximately 60-70%) . This means that its effects focus on the effects that stimulate the mind and creativity, rather than the intense body relaxation typical of indica. This makes it a popular choice among artists and people looking for inspiration.
Characteristics and effects of purple haze
Purple Haze was created as a result of crossing two classic varieties - Haze, known for its energizing effect and citrus flavor profile, and Purple Thai , which introduces a purple color and notes of sweetness. These characteristic purple buds are the result of a high concentration of anthocyanins, i.e. pigments that are activated in appropriate growth conditions, e.g. at cooler temperatures.
If we examine its THC profile, its content ranges from 15-20%. At the same time, it has a low CBD content, which indicates that its function is to have a psychoactive effect with a less therapeutic effect .
Purple Haze is valued for its energizing and mood-improving effects. Users often report feelings of euphoria, increased creativity and motivation. It is valued for gentle physical relaxation that accompanies intense mental experiences .
Purple Haze scent and flavor profile
Purple Haze offers a fruity and sweet aroma that is immediately recognizable. The fragrance contains a rich palette of notes, from fruity (berries, grapes), through earthy, to almost perfumed floral accents. Terpenes (myrcene, pinene, caryophyllene) are responsible for taste sensations. It is their balance that makes Purple Haze so well received by most marijuana users.
Heritage related to musical culture
One of the interesting facts is the strong presence of Purple Haze in musical culture. Unofficially, it is believed that this species is related to the 1967 Jimi Hendrix song "Purple Haze" . This song is often interpreted as a reference to psychoactive substances. The lyrics of the song itself talk about surreal visions and experiences that could have been inspired by dreams, artistic awareness or marijuana experiences. Ultimately, the song became the legend surrounding Purple Haze.
Its popularity increased significantly in California in the 1970s. At that time, marijuana was not only a drug, but also a symptom of the cultural revolution - the idea of free love, pacifism and spiritual experiments.
Purple Haze and Polish law
Marijuana farming in Poland is illegal. You won't find this variety in pharmacies because it is not used as medical marijuana in Poland. The rationale is the very high THC content , and in therapy, strains with higher CBD concentrations are often preferred as they do not produce such intense psychoactive effects while still offering therapeutic benefits.
However, it is worth remembering that Purple Haze also has therapeutic values. Its properties are often cited as relieving stress, anxiety and fatigue, but it also stimulates appetite.
