Blue Haze

An indica-dominant hybrid cross between Amnesia Haze and Blueberry, Blue Haze is renowned for its legacy as a 2002 High Times Cannabis Cup winner and its versatile medicinal applications. Boasting strong indica genetics and moderate to high THC levels of 16% to 26%, Blue Haze stands out among cannabis consumers for uplifting and stimulating the mind while relaxing and sedating the body.

Living up to its Blueberry lineage, Blue Haze has a sweet, fruity aroma reminiscent of a stroll through a ripe blueberry patch. Its flowering time averages between eight and 10 weeks, and it’s known to grow up to six feet tall. Novice cultivators be warned: The Blue Haze marijuana strain requires a lot of care and attention and may not be beginner-friendly.

Those who use Blue Haze medicinally report that it helps relieve migraines, headaches, stress, anxiety, and chronic pain. Like other indica-dominant hybrids, Blue Haze is often categorized as an evening strain due to its propensity to leave users sleepy and relaxed after consumption.

Terpenes

  • Beta-Caryophyllene

  • Pinene

  • Myrcene

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.

Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

Effects

Blue Hazes has been reported to have the following effects:

  • Relaxation
  • Uplifting
  • Energizing
  • Euphoria

The following adverse effects have also been reported:

  • Anxiety
  • Dry Mouth
  • Dry Eyes
  • Paranoia

Blue Haze consumers report that despite its indica dominance, the onset of its effects resembles a much more balanced high than may be anticipated. Its lofty THC levels deliver a powerful initial burst of uplifting cerebral energy followed by relaxing bodily sedation.

Because of its high THC content, consumers of Blue Haze may experience paranoia if they consume too much, especially if they have a low tolerance for THC. Users have also reported experiencing dry mouth and eyes after consuming Blue Haze. Beginners may wish to choose a variety of Blue Haze that measures lower in THC (16-18%) or another variety containing more moderate levels of THC.

Medical Applications

Users report that Blue Haze's high THC levels help alleviate pain and headaches. Its terpene profile, particularly its concentration of myrcene, may contribute to its praises as an effective strain to combat insomnia.

Headache & Migraine

Many Blue Haze users celebrate the strain’s ability to ward off their headaches. This is likely due to cannabis’ ability to modulate serotonin transmission, which may help relieve the intensity and frequency of headaches.

Organ Systems

  • Brain & Nervous System
Anxiety, Panic Disorders

While high in THC, Blue Haze’s unique blend of terpenes make it a good strain for relieving anxiety. Be sure to take a low dose of this particular strain if you’re using it to ward off anxious feelings.

Organ Systems

  • Brain & Nervous System
Insomnia

CB1 agonists like THC have sedative effects that can help induce sleep. Because Blue Haze has higher levels of THC, this may be just the strain you need for a night of deep, relaxing sleep.

Organ Systems

  • Mental / Emotional
  • Brain & Nervous System

Dosing

Because Blue Haze can see THC levels reach as high as 26%, starting low and going slow when dosing is essential, particularly if you don’t have a well-established tolerance to THC. Too much THC may result in paranoia, nervousness, and dizziness.

Going low and slow is also encouraged because Blue Haze has very low CBD levels. If you’ve taken too much, try consuming some cannabidiol (CBD). CBD may offset the unwanted effects of taking too much THC.

Growing

Blue Haze can be grown indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse. The indica-dominant hybrid is praised for its hefty yields, but it’s not for the faint of heart. Novice cultivators may struggle with the intensity and the amount of attention the strain requires, as it is very sensitive to the environment and nutrient levels. If grown outdoors, Blue Haze matures and is ready for harvest in early- to mid-October.
