Amnesia Haze

Amnesia Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid that is a cross between a staple Haze strain and several different landraces, such as Thai, Hawaiian, and Afghani. Its genetics give it potent therapeutic cerebral properties.
It has different phenotypes, with most of them being highly resinous with a snowy leaf appearance. The smell is mostly earthy with mild fruity undertones. The smoke is however smooth and gentle on the throat, making it welcoming to new patients as well.

The Sativa dominance makes it a great strain for mind clarity purposes and mental sharpening. It could work well on a busy day when you need to clear your mind and focus. The indica properties make it great for body relaxation and restfulness. This strain will also make you want to chat more than you usually do, be prepared for this.
