purple haze attack!

so i went to my dealer's apartment and into the room a few others were clambaking. well, they were passing around a bowl with purple haze. i didn't ask what weed it was when i took the bowl, and i'm sorta new to smokin weed. i'm used to the types of weed my dealer gets, and this wasnt one of the types haha. soo, we passed around the bowl a few more times and repacked it. i was so retarded after it, and then i hear it's purple haze. makes sense. well, i've never been that retarded before....ever! is purple haze supposed to be that potent and strong?? i like it but its too expensive for my taste. :smokin: :dance: :smokin: :dance: :smokin: :dance:

Purple haze does not exist (apparently)

nope..

if i put a plant in a cold room..stems go purple....purple haze if i wanna call it that lol close as u get though lmao

Just another way to make more money

Well it was strong weed, regardless... i have no clue what it was, but i wish i bught some. oh well, i dont care, i still got reaaaally high and i was happy, so i'm not complaining! :) smoke on people~

I have smoked purlpe weed b4,
and it wasnt a normal high. call it placebo if you will...
but the high really crept up on me, and was strong as shit

Yes, if anything it is placebo, but its wasnt purple haze. Either it was normal weed thats been exposed to cold flowering temps or it was another purple strain, but not Purple Haze.

I've had very potent purple outdoor smoke before. It was 100% indica and sent me in a 2hr couchlock, but I have also had nasty purple weed. One of the worst I've come accross.

If you grow a plant from start to finish in temps. under 70degF, the leaves will be purple. It is a sign a slight stress though. It is due to the lack of flow of nutes to the leaves. Nothing major, but I've seen it done.

Just because it wasn't really purple haze doesn't make it bad. I dought it was a placebo affect because you said that you were feeling it before you even knew what you were smoking, so maybe.. just maybe purple haze exists out there somewhere;) . Or you just got really good weed that looks purple, what do i know?:rasta:

so did purple haze ever exist

if so which came first,
the hendrix song
or
the strain?

^ good question

I think the song.

I think he was just singin' about the great bud he got that he affectionately named purple haze.

So then dealers everywhere claimed their purple buds are purple haze and thus godly.

Dealers use the "Purple Haze" on new smokers because the smokers are under impression that the stuff is godly, thus they are more than willing to dish out lots of cash for it.

You might as well. The placebo effect might actually make them think they are getting higher. You could make some major moolah.

Ahhh, another Purple Haze thread

Here's the facts:

-Purple Haze was first used as a drug reference in the late 60's as the name of a type of acid going around at the time.

-Jimi Hendrix claimed that the song "Purple Haze" had nothing to do with drugs but was a reference to a dream he had or about the feeling he had about a certain girl. Still...Jimi did do a lot of acid so who knows.

-In the 70's there was a strain of weed called Purple Haze. Apparently it wasn't very good and the strain died out due to lack of interest.

-Some strains of weed can be made to "go purple" by exposing them to colder temps. Some strains are naturally purple.

-A few purple strains, like Grandaddy Purple and Purple Erkal(pic attached), are among the most potent strains being grown today. I have smoked for 25 years and the most potent I've had by far was Purple Erkal, way more potent than White Widow, Sour Diesel, or other well known potent strains. Like green weed, however, there are good purple strains and bad purple strains. The color purple does not neccessarily indicate great weed.

-There is a strain currently being sold in many of the San Francisco cannabis clubs called "Purple Haze". So, it certainly does exist. It is a crossbreed of several other strains and certainly not the original Purple Haze grown in the '70's. Incidentally, it is not as potent as some other purple strains being sold.

-My bet would be that 99% of what is being sold on the street as "Purple Haze" is just some random purple strain that the dealer gives a fancy name to in order to get a better price. The fact that so much of what is being sold as "Purple Haze" really isn't has probably given rise to the "Purple Haze doesn't exist" theory.

That is the most beautiful bud I have ever seen.

Thank you for sharing that.

thanks for clearing all that up man

I belive it was once a strain, although it died out and now only crosses remain, and ansestors, but not the original.

This actually raises the question of what exactly makes a strain a strain? I mean, most strains like white widow, sour deisel, jack herer, etc are crosses of one thing or another. So, it's not like just something that is still found in nature is a true strain.

So, what if someone creates something fantastic, with specific traits, in his garage? And, keeps that going, via cloning, among himself and his friends for several years? Is that a true strain? Or, does it have to be something internationally recognized and available from a seed bank to be considered a true strain?

In the case of Purple Haze, as I pointed out before, it is available in many of San Francisco's cannabis clubs. These clubs have many strains available at any given time and really have nothing to gain by calling anything in particular a name just to raise the price. If they are all getting the same weed from the same crossbreed does it make it a legit strain? Or should the fact that there was a Purple Haze in the past, which no longer exist, invalidate the naming of a new cross as Purple Haze?

Just something to think about. What do others think?

The best breeding experiment I've ever conducted was an attempt at the making a purple haze (or what I thought it would be), I took DJ Short's Flo (female) and Soma's Amnesia Haze(male) and came out with a more "lavendar" haze with an immediate and strong head high with a balanced high creeping in 10 mins later that lasts for hours(2-3). The clones didn't make a vacation I took to Hawaii and the strain was lost. Whether the myth exists or not, well that's not important, what's important is that you get high everyday!

ROFL Nice dude.

Well in Winnipeg. Even Canada. We have amazing weed, along with amazing prices.
I have had weed that is really really purple and people just call it purple indica.
It was actually top 5 that I've ever had it was real good.
Usually people just call them "purples" or "purple indica"
You call it purple haze in Winnipeg and you'll look like a fuckin loser.
I dunno. For the most part I usually buy amazing weed and if it has purples then cool. Maybe for some people they might think its worth more.
But then, I'm smarter than that. I can goto some of my dealers who just have green buds and their amazing without all these gay fucking labels and names and colours. Really who gives a fuck what it is. If its amazing weed I don't need a name to know its amazing. I smoke it or look at it and smell it and I know. I don't go around asking for white widow and hydro and all this shit.
I get high, I get high. To me its all the same. People say different buds give different highs.. I don't believe that really. Cause you can smoke the same plant for days and get different types of highs every single time. But hey, this is my opinion. If you guys don't agree..That's fine too. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just have mine like the rest of us. :rasta:

i've smoked purple nugs before, One time I had some light fluffy blue nugs. That was weird.

white widow is AMAZING.

just a little nug smaller then a dime got me hardcore fucked up for a while. loveee it.

...all i gotta say is that i am glad i paid for none of it hahaha. my friend camillo did but he paid a normal amount for a gram so yeah all is good :D

so how do u guys know it really dosent exist anymore?

I'm from Northern Cali, and I get Grandaddy Purps all day.

I'll post a pic of when I get some next.

hmm thats good to know. i smoked some shit somebody called haze once. it was really good tho and it was free so wtf i had to smoke up :)

but now i know not to spend more on some shit called "purple haze". thanks for the wisdom
