According to Jason King's Cannabible, the original Purple Haze that Jimi was so into is in fact extinct, but people have bred new purple strains that may or may not have Haze genetics and have been passing them off as purple haze. Not to say that the "purple haze" that is around now is anything to laugh at, just thought I'd throw my two cents at the crowd.
if u were talkin bout the song by jimi hendrix, he didnt mean the weed strain purple haze. he really meant the word "haze", u know. anyway....
