You’ve probably heard about Kush and Haze cannabis strains, but do you really know what they’re all about? If not, don’t worry because in this brief article, we’ll dive into the differences between Kush and Haze strains. Plus, we’ve curated a selection of our favorite strains for you to try. You’ll be in for a treat!
Kush and Haze: origins unveiled
Kush cannabis strains are predominantly indica, and you’ll notice this reflected in many characteristics of this marijuana type. The name comes from their origin, as Kush strains hail from the Hindu Kush mountain range, located in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Thriving in colder climates, Kush strains are typically shorter, with darker foliage and a more compact structure.
On the flip side, Haze strains are primarily sativa, and similar to Kush, this influences many of their distinctive features. Haze strains originated in California, USA, during the 1970s. The “Haze Brothers,” two siblings, crossed varieties from Mexico, Colombia, and Thailand, giving rise to the Haze we know today. Generally, they’re more open plants with lighter foliage.
Kush or Haze: different effects, aromas, and flavors
The effects of Kush cannabis strains are mainly physical, inducing intense relaxation often described as a “stone” effect. They emit a robust, earthy aroma that may evoke hints of pepper, pine, or incense. When it comes to flavors, they tend to be mild, reminiscent of grapes, earth, lemon, or flowers.
In contrast, Haze strains earn their name due to their potent effects, as “haze” translates to “fog” in English. This imagery is quite fitting since Haze strains stimulate the mind, thoughts, and creativity, resulting in a highly energizing “high.” Haze strains boast a lemon and earthy aroma, accompanied by a distinctly citrus flavor. Beginners, beware! Haze strains have high THC levels that can be surprising for the uninitiated.
