its a slang that retards like snoop dog, dr dre, 50 cent, etc. make up. just like "the chronic," and "hydros." (yes i know chronic is a strain but not the context they use it in.) anyway purple haze prob just came from some idiot who got their hands on some purple marijuana, didnt know the name, sold it as purple haze, and the name caught on. dam i hate when some stupid wigger from my town comes up to me and says "yo i got dis ill purple haze son," i wanna knock him in his mouth lol. k im done venting peace
