Cannalope Haze strain guide
Cannalope Haze is a sativa from DNA Genetics, bred from a Haze and a Mexican sativa. The name is a play on cantaloupe, and that's the smell people talk about most: sweet melon and tropical fruit over a light Haze spice. Reports lean uplifted and creative, and it's also known as a parent of Chocolope.
Where does Cannalope Haze come from?
Cannalope Haze comes from DNA Genetics, the breeders behind a long list of Haze crosses. The breeder listing gives the parents as a Haze from the Haze Brothers line and a Mexican sativa, and one strain database describes the same pairing as Haze crossed with a Mexican landrace.
It was bred as a faster-flowering sativa, finishing in about nine weeks, which is quick for a Haze. It later became a parent itself: DNA Genetics crossed it with Chocolate Thai to make Chocolope.
Some sellers list it as Cantaloupe Haze, which is the same strain under a more literal spelling.
What does Cannalope Haze smell and taste like?
Sweet fruit comes first. People describe ripe melon, apricot and tropical notes, with some citrus on top. Underneath sits the spicy, earthy side Haze strains are known for, and a few growers mention pepper and cinnamon in the cured buds.
One strain database's terpene data puts myrcene on top, followed by caryophyllene and humulene. Myrcene brings the soft, musky fruit, caryophyllene a peppery bite and humulene a woody, earthy edge. The taste usually follows the smell: sweet and fruity going in, a little spicy on the finish.
Cannalope Haze effects: what people report
People most often describe Cannalope Haze as uplifted, creative and energetic, with a clear, heady feel that suits the daytime. Some reviews mention feeling focused or social, and a few say larger amounts turn it more relaxed and sleepy.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints, and some people say it made them feel anxious.
How strong is Cannalope Haze?
Listings disagree a lot here. One strain database shows about 14% THC, while another database gives a range of 20% to 28%, with very little CBD either way. Different growers and cuts can land far apart, so treat the strain name as a rough guide only.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The THC and CBD numbers on your label are what count, so read the label rather than trusting the strain name.
Buying Cannalope Haze in Canada
Cannalope Haze is an older strain and not one you'll see on every menu. When you do find it, check that the label says Cannalope Haze rather than Cannalope Kush, a different strain with a similar name.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower holds more of that melon smell.
Cannalope Haze vs Chocolope
Chocolope is Cannalope Haze's best-known child, made by crossing it with Chocolate Thai. The two share an energetic, daytime reputation, but they smell quite different. Cannalope Haze leans sweet melon and tropical fruit, while Chocolope adds coffee and cocoa from its Thai side and keeps only a hint of melon. If fruit sounds better, start with Cannalope Haze. If you like darker, roasted smells, try Chocolope.
