That's right.

Purple Haze, as Rasta said, is a sativa haze phenotype that happened to be purple. From what I heard though, it wasn't that potent and died in the mid-80's.

There are several other strains of cannabis around that are purple, and much more potent than the classic strains. Blueberry for one has blueish/purple tints and is very potent and delicious.

Any grower can achieve purple leaves in their grow though. "Just keep temps. below 70degF and the purple should come flowing in. It is a sign of stress, but not so much where it effects the sex (eg.hermi or male)."<----A guy swore by that and everytime he grew, he would get purple leaves.

Nothing really special in my eyes as I have smoked purple weed before and it was downright awful.
