Why call it Trainwreck, White Widow, or Northern Lights? Why not just call it green? I'm not arguing with ya, the logic of "%90 chance what your smoking is some other purple strain that a dealer claims is purple haze to get more money" can apply to any strain. Think about it "hey man, I got some White Widow, yeah it costs more but its worth it". Seriously, I'd bet that a huge portion of what's sold on the street as one specific strain or another isn't what it's claimed to be.

I would, however, trust an Amsterdam coffee shop or a San Francisco cannabis club. Some place operating legally with a bunch of different strains set out and labled accordingly. If the question is "does Purple Haze exist?" I would have to say "yes" based on the fact that I know many of the cannabis clubs do sell a strain called Purple Haze. They also sell other purple strains right along side it. Why label one Puple Kush, another Purple Erkal, another Grandaddy Purple, and another Purple Haze if they're just trying to rip you off? Doesn't make sense.
