Black Haze strain guide
Black Haze is a sativa-leaning hybrid that mixes Purple Haze with old Colombian genetics. People know it for a woody, earthy smell with berry and cherry on top, and for a chatty, upbeat feel that eases into the body later.
Where does Black Haze come from?
Black Haze is usually described as a three-way cross of Colombian Black, Colombian Gold and Purple Haze. Some listings shorten that to Purple Haze and Colombian Gold, with Colombian Black mentioned as an extra ingredient, so the three-parent version is the one most sources land on.
Who made it is not well documented. No breeder is named on the main strain listings, and the history behind the name is thin.
What does Black Haze smell and taste like?
The smell is earthy and woody first, with a sweet berry note and a cherry-wood side that people often mention. Breaking the buds open tends to bring out pine and a little spice.
Published terpene results put limonene on top, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene. The flavour is usually sweet and woody with a smooth cherry finish, plus a nutty edge some people pick up.
Black Haze effects: what people report
People mostly describe Black Haze as uplifting and social, with a mood lift and a talkative streak early on. As it settles, many mention a tingly body feel and a slide toward relaxed, and hunger comes up often.
These are reports, not promises. Your experience depends on the product, the amount and your tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the usual complaints, and a few people say it made them feel anxious.
How strong is Black Haze?
Black Haze sits in the moderate to high range for THC. Listings put it around 18% to 22%, with one shared lab result a little above 22% and very little CBD.
If it's new to you, start small and wait before having more. The numbers on your product's label are what count, and our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what they mean.
Buying Black Haze in Canada
Black Haze is not a common name, so check the label carefully. Producers can grow different cuts, and a strain with a similar name may be a different plant.
If you find it, it is most likely as dried flower or pre-rolls. Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower holds more of its woody, fruity smell.
Black Haze vs Purple Haze
Purple Haze is one of Black Haze's parents and the better-known of the two. Purple Haze leans sweet berry and earth with a classic hazy, energetic reputation, while Black Haze adds Colombian woodiness and a cherry note, and its reports drift more toward a relaxed body feel later on. Both are sativa-leaning and both get called upbeat and social. If you want the classic, start with Purple Haze. If a woodier, cherry-tinged take sounds good, try Black Haze.
