Amnesia Haze is a cannabis strain with sativa-dominant genetics and a high THC content. It belongs to both the most famous and mystical cannabis strains currently on the market. “Amnesia” and “Haze” are two terms that have a legendary status in the cannabis community, particularly, they are associated with weed that induces a strong psychoactive effect that will get even seasoned stoners as high as a kite. Amnesia Haze now goes one step further and combines the traits of these two iconic strains in a single weed strain. Some stories claim that an American breeder crossed several plants to create this strain somewhen in the ‘90s, however, no one really knew about Amnesia Haze until it appeared in various seed banks during the 2000s. On this page, we provide all you need to know about this legendary strain, from its genetic background over THC levels to growing information!
The Amnesia Haze strain origin is somewhat mysterious - the lore suggests that the American breeder David Paul Watson, also known as “Sam the Skunkman”, crossed landraces from Thailand, Jamaica, and Afghanistan to create the original Amnesia in the early 1990s. This strain was unfortunately not very successful in the United States, so Watson took it to the Netherlands.
It is said that ‘Zwiep’, the owner of the fertilizer company Hy-Pro crossed these original Amnesia genetics with Neville’s Haze in the early 2000s, creating the true Amnesia Haze we know today. In Amsterdam, Amnesia Haze really started to develop a reputation of being a delicious and potent weed, quickly becoming a favorite in the vibrant coffee shop scene.
The Amnesia Haze strain has changed the standards stoners set when looking for a high-end marijuana strain, thereby still influencing the cannabis market today. Amnesia Haze genetics are present in many other cannabis strains, such as Amnesia Kush, Golden Haze, or Blue Amnesia Haze.
Amnesia Haze is a hybrid cannabis strain with a sativa-dominant profile (approximately 80% sativa, 20% indica). This means the plants will mostly display typical sativa characteristics, such as large size, thin and long leaves, and a relatively long flowering time. The effects combine a psychoactive high with a relaxing stoned effect, but again, due to the sativa-dominant genetics, Amnesia Haze is rather cerebrally stimulating and uplifting than sedating.
Despite the mystery that surrounds the creation of Amnesia Haze, it is said to be a combination of the popular Amnesia and Haze strains. These also have a large reputation in the cannabis scene which explains what makes Amnesia Haze so special.
The original Amnesia was created when Sam the Skunkman combined Thai, Jamaican, and Hawaiian sativas with an Afghani indica to create a brand-new sativa-dominant weed variety. The name Amnesia was probably chosen due to the hard-hitting effects of this weed on your brain. Despite being a true old-school strain, Amnesia is still very prevalent in seedbanks and Coffeeshops - some classics never get old!
Haze is another classic cannabis type, and the term Haze is nowadays used as a synonym for strong, head-hitting weed. Even though no one knows the true origin story of haze, it is said that it first emerged in the West Coast marijuana scene of the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. Some claim that this strain was created by the ‘Haze Brothers’, a group of cannabis growers from Santa Cruz, California. Haze weed is characterized by a sativa-dominant profile, inducing a strong psychoactive high paired with an excellent flavor.
From a strain that carries the names Amnesia and Haze in it, you would certainly expect high THC levels - and that is exactly what you get. With a THC content of 15-25%, Amnesia Haze can be considered a potent cannabis strain that induces a strong high. While newer cali weed (which sometimes contains up to 30% THC!) might still exceed the THC content of Amnesia Haze, you have to consider that this is a strain that emerged in the early 2000s. At its time, Amnesia Haze was known for being a strain with a very high potency.
The CBD levels of Amnesia Haze are not very high, usually not even reaching 1%. Some phenotypes of Amnesia Haze might even have 0% CBD. This means that the psychoactive effects of THC are not so well counterbalanced, resulting in strong psychoactive highs that can be almost psychedelic-like in higher doses - be careful! Nowadays, you can find my CBD Amnesia Haze buds that are sold legally within Europe from shops that specifically market CBD weed - these might resemble Amnesia Haze in terms of looks and aroma, but the true Amnesia Haze contains mainly THC, not CBD!
If you are interested in CBD-rich or CBD-dominant weed, then you should check our CBD seeds section, where you can find strains perfectly suited for you if you do not want a psychoactive effect from cannabis or are looking for the medicinal benefits of CBD.
As with almost every cannabis plant, Amnesia Haze also contains a large amount of other cannabinoids, such as cannabigerol (CBG) or cannabinol (CBN), that influence the overall effects of the main psychoactive ingredient THC.
The Amnesia Haze weed strain is a party for your sensory system, not only because it induces a strong head buzz but also because its buds look and smell absolutely amazing.
When you first open up a baggie field with Amnesia Haze marijuana, you will be greeted by a strong earthy and citrusy smell. The taste of Amnesia Haze is similar to his smell - very robust earthy flavors that are complemented by lemon and citrus. However, instead of the typical sourness associated with the citrus aroma, Amnesia Haze is reported to have a slightly creamier taste to it, reminiscent of strains like lemon cookies, with hints of fresh flower and pine also making an appearance.
The unique and complex flavor profile of Amnesia Haze can mainly be attributed to its terpene composition.
It is not only the individual presence of these and other terpenes, but their synergistic contribution which creates the unique aroma of the Amnesia Haze weed strain that cannabis growers and smokers all around the world enjoy!
Amnesia Haze buds look exactly what the modern cannabis connoisseur wants his or her weed to look like. A solid base of glittery, light green colors, complimented by golden fuzzy hairs, all together coated in a dusty layer of white trichomes, indicating a high THC content.
Tip: The best look is of course achieved when growing Amnesia Haze yourself, in the best case completely organically so that your weed not only looks good, but also is 100% biological and free from any toxic additives.
When talking about the effects you experience when smoking Amnesia Haze weed, one thing can be said with certainty: This strain will hit you. I mean reeeaally hit you. Due to the sativa-dominant genetics, the high induced by Amnesia Haze weed is very cerebral (meaning in your head), almost psychedelic-like in higher doses. This makes the strain perfect If you want to have a fun time during your smoke sesh, engage in creative endeavors, or if you are a cannabis smoker with a high tolerance. If you are not very experienced, then you should consider using a lighter strain, such as Northern Lights or White Widow, or only use a little dose of Amnesia Haze and wait before taking more.
If you are suffering from dysregulations with your sleep, appetite, or overall mood, you can experience some benefits from smoking Amnesia Haze weed, or even better, using a premium vaporizer, which is considered a healthier way of consuming cannabis. Vaporizers heat the cannabis flower or concentrate without combustion, allowing you to inhale pure, flavorful vapor rather than harmful smoke. You can buy desktop and portable vaporizers at Sirius’ online Vaporizershop! However you use the Amnesia Haze strain, the strong sativa-dominant effects are thought to influence your brain by boosting certain neurotransmitters, which can have beneficial effects.
Warning: Please make sure to always consult with a healthcare professional before using cannabis to treat (mental) disorders!
As with any strong cannabis strain, side effects of Amnesia Haze could include:
These are especially prevalent in Amnesia Haze when smoked by users that are not very experienced with cannabis. It also needs to be said that Amnesia Haze is a strain that can induce or exacerbate anxiety in some users, as the strong head-high is not pleasant for everyone. If you have experienced unpleasant feelings from consuming cannabis before, you should be very careful with a strain like Amnesia Haze.
If you want to grow Amnesia Haze, there are many factors to consider. As with any (cannabis) plant, you need to provide sufficient space for the plant to grow (indoors or outdoors), provide the right amount of light (either using a cannabis grow light or the sun), supply the right amount of nutrients (in the best case using biological cannabis fertilizer) and manage temperature, humidity, and pH levels week by week during the growing process. For a detailed description of the day-by-day growing process of this strain, try to find some Amnesia Haze grow report that gives you an in-depth look into the life cycle of this strain. Also, don’t forget to check our Growshop which has everything you need for growing your own cannabis!
What is an important factor for growing Amnesia Haze is that it is sativa-dominant, meaning it grows relatively high and takes a bit longer to flower. Amnesia Haze plants typically grow between 80 and 150 centimeters high and have a flowering time of around 10-11 weeks. This makes them not the most beginner-friendly strain, but the effort of growing Amnesia Haze will be rewarded with high-yielding cannabis plants that supply deliciously potent weed!
Indoor growers who want to cultivate Amnesia Haze themselves should be especially aware of the height the plants can reach. Make sure to get a large enough grow tent that supports the full development of Amnesia Haze cannabis plants. Within your grow tent, you need to properly manage hygiene to avoid any pests that could damage or even kill your weed plants. Indoor growers also need the right climate control accessories to ensure a good airflow. When grown with the right equipment and proper care, Amnesia Haze plants yield up to 600-650 grams per square meter indoors!
Like most cannabis plants, Amnesia Haze thrives in warm and sunny climate zones, for example, southern Spain. Outdoor growers should also be aware of the large height Amnesia Haze can reach, in case you got nosey neighbors who should not see cannabis plants growing over the fence! Also, ensure to have your plants stabilized so they are protected from harsh weather like severe rain or a storm.
When grown outdoors, Amnesia Haze can yield up to 700 grams per plant. The optimal harvest month is the end of October, meaning that considering the long flowering time, Amnesia Haze seeds should be germinated latest at the end of May. Amnesia Haze plants can yield up to 700 grams per plant outdoors, given the right conditions. If you live in colder and darker regions of Europe, like the Netherlands or Germany, you should consider growing indoors or getting an autoflowering variant.
Amnesia Haze is also available as an autoflowering version. Amnesia Haze autoflower plants enter the flowering phase automatically, meaning there is no need for complicated light cycle adjustment. Additionally, autoflower Amnesia Haze takes less time from seed to harvest, while not compromising on the yield. Using the autoflowering variant allows beginner growers or those that don’t have much time to also cultivate this amazing strain!
At Sirius, Amnesia Haze autoflower is available from multiple premium brands:

Amnesia Haze is sativa-dominant (80% sativa, 20% indica), which means it provides a stimulating cerebral high rather than a sedating body effect. Unlike indica-heavy strains that promote deep relaxation, Amnesia Haze is known for enhancing creativity, energy, and focus, as long as you have a tolerance towards THC so you can handle its potency. The strain is considered ideal for daytime use but may be too intense for beginners.
The Amnesia Haze THC content varies between 15% and 25%, making it a high-potency strain. Some phenotypes exceed 25% THC, delivering an even more intense high. Due to its strength, it’s advised to start with small doses, especially for users sensitive to THC’s psychoactive effects.
While both strains share sativa-heavy genetics, Amnesia Haze is a more refined hybrid, incorporating Neville’s Haze lineage, which intensifies its effects. The original Amnesia strain has a sharper, citrus-dominated flavor, while Amnesia Haze offers a more complex terpene profile with earthy, lemony, and spicy notes. Additionally, Amnesia Haze has a longer flowering time but provides higher yields compared to the classic Amnesia strain.
A week-by-week breakdown helps growers optimize their yield:
Amnesia Haze has a longer flowering time (10-11 weeks), but the result is resinous, potent buds with potential for very high yields.
