Origins & Genetics – How Did Amnesia Haze Come to Be?
The story behind Amnesia Haze reads like a global trip novel – with twists, turns, and a bit of mystery that cannabis enthusiasts still debate today. This remarkable strain wasn’t created overnight but evolved through a fascinating journey across continents and cultures.
Amnesia Haze emerged from Amsterdam’s vibrant coffeeshop scene in the 1990s, quickly becoming the talk of the town. What makes this strain so special is its impressive genetic lineage that spans multiple continents:
“The first time I tried Amnesia Haze, I could almost taste each part of its heritage – that’s what makes it so unique,” shares a regular at our Bushwick dispensary.
This worldly strain combines the best traits from several legendary landrace varieties:
- The energetic, cerebral buzz from Thai sativas
- Uplifting, mood-enhancing qualities from Jamaican varieties
- Tropical, exotic flavor notes from Hawaiian strains
- Structure, resin production, and relaxing undertones from Afghani indicas
Like many cannabis legends, Amnesia Haze’s exact origins are somewhat clouded in competing stories. Cannabis historian David Paul Watson (also known as Sam Skunkman) suggests the original Amnesia was born in the United States before making its journey to the Netherlands. There, breeders reportedly crossed it with the legendary Neville’s Haze – a strain created by cannabis pioneer Neville Schoenmakers – to develop what we now enjoy as Amnesia Haze.
Dutch breeder Zwiep tells a different tale, claiming he created the strain by crossing Neville’s Haze with his special Afghan cut. While we may never know the complete truth, the scientific research on cannabis genetics continues to evolve, helping us better understand these complex breeding histories.
The Breeding Story Behind Amnesia Haze
The development of Amnesia Haze into today’s beloved strain showcases the artistry and patience of dedicated cannabis breeders. This wasn’t a simple one-time cross but a careful process of selection and refinement over multiple generations.
Amsterdam’s competitive coffeeshop culture in the 1990s created the perfect environment for Amnesia Haze to flourish. As one Dutch cannabis historian explained to me, “Coffeeshops were constantly trying to outdo each other with more potent, distinctive strains. Amnesia Haze became the crown jewel of this renaissance.”
The strain’s rise to cannabis stardom followed this path:
Early 1990s: Original Amnesia strain reportedly created in the United States
Mid-1990s: These genetics found their way to Amsterdam where they met Neville’s Haze
Late 1990s: Careful refinement and stabilization created the strain we know today
2004: Amnesia Haze took home 1st place at the High Times Cannabis Cup
2012: Further validation came with 1st place in the Sativa Cup
Today, Amnesia Haze remains a must-have in Amsterdam’s coffeeshops and has spread worldwide as a marker of quality and heritage. At RNR Cannabis Dispensary, we’re proud to offer this historic strain to our Bushwick community, connecting our customers to a piece of cannabis history with every purchase.
When you visit our shop, ask our budtenders about the specific phenotype of Amnesia Haze we’re currently featuring – each batch tells its own unique story while honoring this strain’s rich heritage.
Cannabinoid & Terpene Profile of Amnesia Haze
Ever wonder what makes Amnesia Haze so special? The magic lies in its chemical makeup. This powerhouse strain typically contains an impressive 21-25% THC content, with some exceptional batches pushing even higher. But there’s much more to this strain than just its THC percentage.
Let’s break down what’s inside these beautiful buds:
| Cannabinoid | Typical Content | Role |
|---|---|---|
| THC | 21-25% | Primary psychoactive component |
| CBD | <1% | Minor non-intoxicating cannabinoid |
| CBG | 0.5-1% | “Parent” cannabinoid with unique properties |
While the cannabinoids tell part of the story, the real personality of Amnesia Haze comes from its rich terpene profile. These aromatic compounds don’t just create the strain’s distinctive smell and taste – they actually work alongside cannabinoids to shape your experience through what scientists call the “entourage effect.”
When you open a jar of our Amnesia Haze at RNR Cannabis Dispensary, your nose immediately picks up on several key terpenes:
Humulene (typically around 0.84%) brings those earthy, woody notes you love, while potentially offering anti-inflammatory benefits. The caryophyllene (about 0.50%) adds those spicy, peppery kicks that might help calm anxiety and soothe pain.
The strain also contains notable levels of myrcene (contributing herbal, musky undertones), limonene (brightening things up with citrus notes), and pinene (adding that fresh forest scent). Each plays a role in creating the distinctive Amnesia Haze experience.
“It’s like a perfectly balanced recipe,” one of our regular Bushwick customers recently told me. “You can smell all these different notes, and somehow they all work together perfectly.”
We’re serious about quality at RNR, which is why we ensure all our Amnesia Haze is lab-tested. This guarantees you get consistent cannabinoid and terpene profiles every time you visit our Bushwick shop.
Why Amnesia Haze Hits Harder Than Most
Have you ever noticed how Amnesia Haze delivers a particularly powerful experience, even compared to strains with similar THC levels? There’s science behind this phenomenon.
The secret lies in how the specific combination of cannabinoids and terpenes in Amnesia Haze work together. This synergistic relationship – the entourage effect – seems particularly potent in this strain, with its unique terpene profile amplifying THC’s effects in a way that creates a distinctively intense experience.
“I’ve tried plenty of high-THC strains,” shared a Brooklyn artist who frequents our dispensary, “but Amnesia Haze feels different – clearer somehow, but also more intense. It’s like it opens up parts of my brain other strains don’t touch.”
Some users even describe near-psychedelic experiences with Amnesia Haze, especially at higher doses. This quality likely comes from its landrace sativa genetics, particularly those Thai and Jamaican influences that bring different cannabinoid ratios than many modern hybrids.
The high tends to be deeply cerebral – enhancing sensory perception, altering time perception, and sparking creative thought patterns. These effects connect directly to the strain’s genetic heritage, preserving qualities that have been bred out of many commercial strains.
When you visit us at RNR Cannabis Dispensary in Bushwick, we’re always happy to discuss the unique chemical profile of our Amnesia Haze and help you understand what makes this strain so special. It’s not just about getting high – it’s about experiencing a piece of cannabis history with a chemical profile crafted by generations of thoughtful breeding.
Aroma, Flavor & Sensory Experience
Walking into RNR Cannabis Dispensary and opening a jar of Amnesia Haze is like starting on a sensory trip. This isn’t just cannabis – it’s an aromatic experience that tells the tale of its global genetic heritage through your senses.
The fragrance profile of Amnesia Haze unfolds in beautiful layers. Break apart a fresh bud, and you’re first greeted with deep, earthy richness that reminds many of a forest after rainfall. This foundation quickly gives way to bright citrus notes – particularly zesty lemon that seems to dance right out of the flower. As you continue exploring, you’ll find spicy, incense-like undertones that speak to its exotic lineage, all wrapped up with subtle sweet tropical hints that linger in the air.
“I’ve tried dozens of strains,” shared one Bushwick regular, “but opening a jar of Amnesia Haze is something special – like taking a sensory trip around the world. You can smell the spice markets of Thailand, citrus groves of the Mediterranean, and the earthy depth of the Hindu Kush mountains all in one incredible inhale.”
The flavor journey is equally impressive and develops in distinct stages. Your first inhale brings forward the bright citrus and sweet notes that wake up your palate. As the smoke or vapor fills your mouth, the earthy and spicy elements emerge and deepen the experience. The exhale leaves a fascinating finish of sweet pepper and subtle incense that many find uniquely satisfying.
What makes Amnesia Haze truly special is how these flavor elements seem to telegraph the effects you’re about to experience. The uplifting citrus and spice notes parallel the energetic, creative aspects of the high, while those grounding earthy undertones provide balance and stability to the experience.
At RNR, we’re serious about preserving these delicate terpenes. We carefully control temperature and humidity during storage and handle our Amnesia Haze with the respect it deserves. This attention to detail ensures that when you visit our Bushwick shop, you’re experiencing this legendary strain exactly as it was meant to be enjoyed – with its full sensory profile intact and ready to transport you.
Effects, Medical Benefits & Possible Side Effects
When you first experience Amnesia Haze, you’ll likely notice a beautiful progression of effects that unfold like a well-told story. It begins with a rush of euphoria washing over you, bringing mental clarity that feels like opening curtains to let sunshine flood a room. This initial brightness evolves into the peak experience – where creativity flows, conversations become more engaging, and the world around you seems improved in the most delightful ways.
“Amnesia Haze isn’t just my weekend treat, it’s my creative partner,” shares Maya, a graphic designer who visits our Bushwick dispensary regularly. “When I hit a wall with my projects, a small session with this strain helps me see new angles and possibilities I completely missed before.”
The medical potential of Amnesia Haze extends beyond just feeling good. Many of our customers find meaningful relief from various conditions:
About 31% of users tell us they primarily choose this strain for stress relief, as it seems to gently reset negative thought patterns. Another 26% report it helps manage symptoms of depression, while 23% find it useful for anxiety. The strain’s uplifting properties make it particularly effective for those dealing with fatigue, while others find it helps with migraines and tension-related pain.
Scientific research on medical cannabis continues to evolve, and while the anecdotal evidence for Amnesia Haze’s benefits is compelling, we always recommend chatting with healthcare professionals when considering cannabis for medical purposes.
How Amnesia Haze May Help You Feel
Based on conversations with hundreds of customers at our Bushwick store, Amnesia Haze tends to create a consistent pattern of positive experiences. The mood boost is often immediate – you might find yourself smiling for no particular reason other than simply feeling good.
Rather than the mental fogginess some associate with cannabis, Amnesia Haze often brings mental clarity that feels like wiping steam from a mirror. About 38% of users describe feeling euphoric, while 33% note a pleasant relaxation that doesn’t weigh them down.
“Amnesia Haze helps me feel present and engaged,” explains Javier, a local musician. “It’s like it quiets my inner critic without shutting down my discernment. I can work on compositions for hours and actually enjoy the process instead of getting stuck in self-doubt.”
This motivation-enhancing quality separates Amnesia Haze from strains that might leave you contemplating your couch cushions for hours. Instead, many users find themselves happily engaged in creative projects, outdoor activities, or meaningful conversations.
Adverse Reactions to Watch For
Being informed means acknowledging that Amnesia Haze, like all cannabis varieties, may bring some unwanted effects. Dry eyes top the list of common side effects – easily managed with a few eye drops kept nearby.
The mental stimulation that makes this strain beloved can occasionally tip into racing thoughts or anxiety, particularly at higher doses or for those already prone to anxious feelings. Some users also notice a temporarily increased heart rate – generally not concerning for healthy individuals but worth being aware of.
“Respect this strain’s potency,” advises Tomas, one of our long-time customers. “The first time I tried Amnesia Haze, I got overexcited because it felt so good initially. I took way too much and spent an hour convinced my neighbors could somehow hear my thoughts. Start small – you can always have more later.”
This wisdom captures our philosophy at RNR Cannabis Dispensary perfectly. We always recommend the “start low, go slow” approach, especially for those new to Amnesia Haze or cannabis in general. Begin with just one small inhalation, wait at least 15 minutes, and see how you feel before considering more. This thoughtful approach helps ensure your experience remains in that sweet spot of enjoyment rather than discomfort.
Growing Amnesia Haze: From Seed to Harvest
Growing Amnesia Haze reminds me of raising a talented but demanding child—it requires patience and dedication, but the rewards are absolutely worth it. This isn’t a beginner’s strain, but for those willing to put in the time, the payoff is exceptional quality and impressive yields.
When deciding where to grow Amnesia Haze, you have two main options, each with distinct considerations:
Indoors, you’ll need to create a carefully controlled environment with plenty of vertical space—these sativa-dominant plants love to stretch toward the sky! Many experienced growers I’ve spoken with swear by SCROG (Screen of Green) techniques to manage the height while maximizing light exposure. The flowering period is notably longer than most strains, requiring 84-91 days of patience before harvest. But don’t let that discourage you—under optimal conditions, you can expect impressive yields of 600-700 grams per square meter.
Outdoors, Amnesia Haze thrives in warm, Mediterranean-like conditions. The plants prefer consistent temperatures between 70-80°F and can grow impressively tall—I’ve seen specimens reach 6-7 feet in optimal settings! One benefit of outdoor growing is the strain’s natural pest resistance, which provides a bit of forgiveness for less experienced growers. In the Northern Hemisphere, expect to harvest around late October.
One of our regular customers at RNR who grows his own told me: “The key with Amnesia Haze is patience. Those extra weeks of flowering make a massive difference in terpene development and potency. Rush it, and you’ll miss out on what makes this strain special.”
For nutrients, Amnesia Haze has moderate to high needs. Pay special attention during the extended flowering period—a slight reduction in nitrogen coupled with an increase in phosphorus and potassium helps promote those dense, resinous buds we all love.

Quick Tips for First-Time Amnesia Haze Growers
If you’re taking on Amnesia Haze for your first grow, I’ve gathered some essential advice from our community of experienced growers in Bushwick:
First, plan for height—these plants can get tall quickly, so ensure your space has adequate vertical clearance or implement training techniques early. Maintaining proper humidity control between 40-60% (lowering toward the end of flowering) will help prevent mold issues on those dense buds.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to add support structures—install trellising or stakes before the buds become heavy and potentially snap branches. Temperature stability between 70-78°F (21-25°C) will keep your plants happy and productive.
Above all, patience is key. As one cultivation expert who frequents our Bushwick dispensary shared: “The biggest mistake first-timers make with Amnesia Haze is underestimating both its vertical growth and flowering duration. Plan for both, and you’ll be rewarded with exceptional quality.”
How Much Flower Can You Expect?
One reason growers put up with Amnesia Haze’s lengthy flowering time is the generous yields it provides. Under optimal conditions, indoor growers can expect 600-700 grams per square meter, while outdoor growers might see 650-700 grams per plant in ideal settings.
For home growers using a standard 4×4 foot tent with proper lighting and training techniques, a harvest of 400-500 grams (approximately 14-18 ounces) of dried, cured flower is realistic from a single grow cycle. These numbers make the extended cultivation time much easier to accept.
The quality-to-time ratio ultimately works out favorably—the distinctive citrus-spicy aroma and potent effects of properly grown Amnesia Haze command respect (and often premium prices) among cannabis connoisseurs.

Consuming Amnesia Haze: Best Methods & Dosing
There’s something magical about finding just the right way to enjoy Amnesia Haze. At our Bushwick dispensary, I’ve seen countless customers find their perfect match between consumption method and this legendary strain.
Lighting up a joint of Amnesia Haze remains the classic choice for many of our regulars. There’s something about the ritual of rolling (or grabbing one of our pre-rolls) that complements the full-bodied experience. As one customer put it, “Nothing beats the slow burn of a joint for really tasting all those citrus and spice notes that make Amnesia Haze special.”
For those looking to preserve those delicate terpenes, dry-herb vaporization is worth exploring. Setting your device between 355-375°F lets you capture those bright lemon and earthy spice flavors without combustion. The resulting experience tends to be cleaner and more flavor-forward, with many reporting a more clear-headed effect.
Water pipes and bubblers offer a smoother inhale by cooling the smoke, which can be gentler on your throat. The tradeoff? You might lose some of those subtle flavor notes that make Amnesia Haze so distinctive. Still, for those with sensitive lungs, it’s a worthy compromise.
For the concentrate enthusiasts, Amnesia Haze live resin or other extracts deliver an intensified experience. Just remember that potency jumps significantly – what works in flower form might be overwhelming as a concentrate. As our head budtender always says, “With Amnesia Haze concentrates, a little goes a long way – especially if you’re chasing that creative boost without the overwhelm.”
Edibles infused with Amnesia Haze transform the experience entirely. The effects become more body-centered and last significantly longer, though you’ll need to plan for that 45-90 minute delayed onset. Perfect for a creative day when you have a few hours to spare.
When it comes to dosing Amnesia Haze, respect its potency. For newcomers, I always recommend starting with just one small inhalation, then waiting a full 15 minutes before considering more. You’d be surprised how far a little can go with this strain.
Occasional users might begin with 2-3 small inhalations, spacing them out over 15-20 minutes. This measured approach helps you find that sweet spot where creativity flows without tipping into overwhelm.
Even for our regular customers, Amnesia Haze often feels more potent than its THC percentage suggests. It’s not just about the numbers – it’s about how those specific terpenes and cannabinoids work together.
“The beauty of Amnesia Haze isn’t about how much you consume,” as our senior budtender Maya often tells first-timers, “it’s about the experience itself. Small amounts can fuel hours of creative thinking and good vibes.”
Titration – gradually increasing your dose until you find your personal sweet spot – works particularly well with Amnesia Haze. This mindful approach helps maximize the benefits while keeping any potential side effects at bay.

Amnesia Haze vs. Other Fan-Favorite Strains
Ever wondered how Amnesia Haze stacks up against other beloved sativas in your local dispensary? Let’s break down the differences so you can find your perfect match.
When customers visit us at RNR Cannabis Dispensary in Bushwick, they often ask how Amnesia Haze compares to other popular strains. The truth is, while many sativa-dominant varieties offer uplifting effects, each has its own distinct personality and character.
| Strain | THC % | Dominant Terpenes | Primary Effects | Flavor Profile | Grow Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amnesia Haze | 21-25% | Humulene, Caryophyllene | Euphoric, Creative, Energetic | Earthy, Citrus, Spicy | Moderate-High |
| Sour Diesel | 18-25% | Caryophyllene, Limonene | Energetic, Cerebral, Long-lasting | Diesel, Citrus, Pungent | Moderate |
| Jack Herer | 18-24% | Terpinolene, Pinene | Clear-headed, Creative, Focused | Pine, Woody, Spice | Moderate |
| Super Lemon Haze | 19-22% | Terpinolene, Ocimene | Uplifting, Euphoric, Sociable | Lemon, Sweet, Zesty | Moderate |
| Blue Dream | 17-24% | Myrcene, Pinene | Balanced, Creative, Gentle | Berry, Sweet, Herbal | Easy |
“I’ve tried them all, but I keep coming back to Amnesia Haze,” shares Marcus, a regular at our Bushwick location. “It has this perfect balance that the others don’t quite match. It’s potent without knocking me out, energizing without making me anxious, and complex without being overwhelming.”
What truly sets Amnesia Haze apart from its competitors is its unique combination of attributes:
Its potency tends to be consistently higher than most competitors, with THC levels reliably hitting the 21-25% range. While Sour Diesel can sometimes reach similar heights, it’s less consistent batch to batch.
The terpene profile is what many connoisseurs find most distinctive. That dominant humulene presence is relatively uncommon in sativa strains and creates effects that feel simultaneously energizing and grounding. When you compare this to the pinene-forward Jack Herer or the limonene-rich Super Lemon Haze, the experience is noticeably different.
Effect duration is another area where Amnesia Haze shines. While Sour Diesel is also known for its long-lasting effects, many users report that Amnesia Haze provides a more sustained experience than varieties like Blue Dream or Super Lemon Haze.
Perhaps most impressive is the flavor complexity. Where some strains like Super Lemon Haze offer a more straightforward flavor experience (predominantly citrus), Amnesia Haze presents an evolving journey of tastes that unfold as you consume it.
The terpene overlap with strains like Sour Diesel (both containing significant caryophyllene) explains why some people experience similarities between these varieties. However, it’s the supporting cast of terpenes that gives each strain its distinct personality.
“If Sour Diesel is like a strong espresso, Amnesia Haze is more like a complex pour-over coffee with notes that develop as you sip,” explains our head budtender at RNR. “They’re both energizing, but Amnesia Haze offers more layers to explore.”
Whether you’re seeking creative inspiration, mood elevation, or simply a memorable cannabis experience, understanding these strain comparisons helps you make more informed choices for your specific needs and preferences.
Awards & What Makes Amnesia Haze Stand Out
Amnesia Haze isn’t just another pretty flower in the garden of cannabis strains—it’s a decorated champion with serious credentials to back up its legendary status. This extraordinary strain has collected impressive accolades throughout its history:
- 1st place at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2004
- 1st place in the Sativa category at the Cannabis Cup in 2012
- Named among the top 25 cannabis strains of all time by High Times magazine
These aren’t just shiny trophies gathering dust—they represent consistent recognition from the industry’s most discerning judges and enthusiasts. The awards tell a story of excellence that has made Amnesia Haze a cornerstone offering in Amsterdam’s finest coffeeshops and now, in premium dispensaries like ours in Bushwick.
So what exactly lifts Amnesia Haze above the crowded field of cannabis contenders? I’ve spent years working with this strain, and I can tell you it’s not just one thing—it’s a perfect storm of exceptional qualities.
First, there’s the genetic diversity that makes this strain so special. The blend of Thai, Jamaican, Hawaiian, and Afghani landrace genetics creates a complexity that’s nearly impossible to replicate. It’s like having a passport full of stamps in a single strain—each contributing something unique to the overall experience.
“When I first tried Amnesia Haze at RNR, I could almost taste its world travels,” one customer recently told me. “There’s something globetrotting about it that makes other strains seem one-dimensional.”
The balanced potency of Amnesia Haze is another standout feature. Despite its high THC content, it delivers its effects with remarkable sophistication. As one of our regulars at RNR Cannabis Dispensary perfectly described it: “It’s like the difference between fine whiskey and moonshine—both are strong, but one has layers and nuance.”
Growers particularly appreciate Amnesia Haze for its natural pest resistance—a quality inherited from its diverse landrace parentage. This resilience makes it somewhat more forgiving to grow than other premium strains, though it still demands respect and attention.
Perhaps most impressively, Amnesia Haze achieves what few strains can—the rare combination of exceptional quality with XXL yields. Most strains force you to choose between quantity and quality, but Amnesia Haze delivers both, yielding up to 700g/m² of premium flower. This makes it valuable for both personal enthusiasts and professional cultivators alike.
Beyond its chemical properties and growing characteristics, Amnesia Haze carries significant historical importance. This strain helped define Amsterdam’s coffeeshop culture in the 1990s and influenced global cannabis breeding for decades. When you enjoy Amnesia Haze, you’re participating in a piece of cannabis history.
At RNR Cannabis Dispensary, we honor these distinctive qualities by ensuring our Amnesia Haze exemplifies the characteristics that earned the strain its legendary status. We’ve selected phenotypes that showcase the complex terpene profile and balanced effects that make this award-winner truly special.

Frequently Asked Questions about Amnesia Haze
Does Amnesia Haze actually cause memory loss?
Despite its somewhat alarming name, Amnesia Haze doesn’t actually cause significant memory impairment. The name is more of a playful nod to the strain’s powerful effects rather than a literal description of what you’ll experience.
“It’s not about forgetting your keys or your name,” explains one regular customer at our Bushwick shop. “It’s more that you become so completely immersed in whatever you’re doing that everything else just melts away for a while.”
Some users do report a mild haziness in short-term memory during the peak effects, but this is generally comparable to other high-THC strains. These effects are temporary and fade as the high subsides. If anything, many creative types seek out Amnesia Haze specifically because it helps them focus deeply on a single task or thought – the opposite of forgetfulness!
Is Amnesia Haze good for daytime productivity?
Amnesia Haze can be fantastic for certain types of daytime activities, particularly those requiring creativity, outside-the-box thinking, and fresh perspectives. Its energetic, cerebral effects make it a favorite among artists, writers, musicians, and others who benefit from improved creative flow.
A graphic designer who visits our Bushwick dispensary regularly tells us: “Amnesia Haze is my secret weapon for breaking through creative blocks. When I’m stuck on a design problem, a small amount helps me see new possibilities and connections. Though I’ve learned to save the detail work for later!”
For optimal daytime use, we recommend starting with a lower dose than you might use recreationally. This approach preserves the uplifting mental clarity while minimizing any potential distractions from the euphoric effects. Many professionals find this “microdosing” approach particularly effective for creative problem-solving without compromising functionality.
That said, if your day involves complex calculations, detailed paperwork, or operating heavy machinery, you might want to save Amnesia Haze for your off hours.
How long does Amnesia Haze take to flower indoors?
Growing Amnesia Haze requires patience – this isn’t a strain for growers in a hurry! The flowering period is notably longer than many popular cannabis varieties:
When grown indoors, Amnesia Haze typically begins showing flowering signs about 1-2 weeks after switching to a 12/12 light cycle. However, the total flowering period runs approximately 84-91 days (12-13 weeks) until harvest readiness. Many growers also implement a 7-10 day pre-harvest flush to improve flavor.
“Those extra weeks of waiting can test your patience,” admits one experienced Brooklyn grower. “But they’re absolutely essential. Rush Amnesia Haze and you’ll never experience its true potential. Those final weeks are when the magic happens – the trichomes fully develop, the aromas intensify, and the effects become perfectly balanced.”
While some modern breeding has produced Amnesia Haze phenotypes with slightly shorter flowering times (around 10-11 weeks), the classic expression of this strain truly benefits from the full maturation period. At RNR Cannabis Dispensary, we’ve noticed our Bushwick customers increasingly appreciate the craft and patience that goes into properly grown Amnesia Haze, recognizing that good things come to those who wait.
Whether you’re just curious about this legendary strain or you’re already a devoted fan, Amnesia Haze offers a cannabis experience that genuinely lives up to its storied reputation. Its complex genetics, distinctive terpene profile, and balanced yet potent effects have earned it a permanent place in cannabis culture for good reason.
We’d love to see you at RNR Cannabis Dispensary in Bushwick to experience our premium Amnesia Haze selection. Our friendly, knowledgeable team can help guide your selection and ensure you find the perfect product for your individual preferences and needs.
