Amnesia Haze
The Amsterdam coffee-shop staple with two Cannabis Cups to its name and a lemon-lime nose. A Haze with landrace roots, an unusually well-recorded competition history, and a partner shelf led by Looper’s Lifted Series and a Binoid THC-P cart.

Amnesia Haze history & lineage
Leafly traces Amnesia Haze to South Asian and Jamaican landrace genetics and shows Haze and Afghani as its parents in the catalogue’s genetics panel — a broad-brush ancestry rather than a named two-parent cross. The catalogue records it as a Cannabis Cup winner, taking first place in 2004 and first in the 2012 Sativa Cup, and says it has since been popularised in the coffee shops of Amsterdam.
Leafly does not name a breeder. Soma Seeds is the house most often credited with the cut in other accounts; we present that as the common attribution it is. The catalogue also lists Jenny Kush and AMG as descendants, which is more downstream detail than most strains in this library have.
Aroma notes & reported terpenes
Citrus, lemon and lime are the catalogue’s descriptors, which is the classic Haze profile with the dial turned toward lime. The sharp, bright nose is what most vape brands are chasing when they name a sativa blend Amnesia.
Terpenes named by the catalogue: Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Limonene. These names are not measurements for a particular sample.
Reported effects, in context
These terms summarize the cited catalogue’s user-report categories. They are anecdotes, not controlled evidence or a promise of an effect. The library does not use them to recommend a strain for a medical condition.
For a particular sample, this article does not establish potency, contaminant results or suitability. Read our evidence guide to understand the difference between a catalogue description and a lab result.
Shop Amnesia Haze at our partners
On a hemp shelf, Amnesia Haze mostly means a terpene profile rather than a plant. Our retail partners listed eight products (five at CBD.co and three at LooperVerse) carrying the name when we checked on 28 September 2026 — from Looper, URB, Torch, Pixie and Binoid — across pre-rolls, vapes, disposables and cartridges. The pre-rolls are the only flower-based option; the rest carry an Amnesia Haze-style terpene blend. None of them is sold as verified Amnesia Haze genetics. Where a card says option, the strain is one choice on a multi-strain product, so pick it on the vendor's page.
The December problem, in one paragraph
Almost every jar of "Amnesia Haze-style" hemp flower on sale in the United States is sold as THCA flower, and THCA flower has a deadline on it. Section 781 of Public Law 119-37 rewrote the federal hemp definition to measure total THC rather than delta-9 alone, and total THC counts the THCA sitting in the bud. That single word removes essentially all THCA flower from the federal hemp category.
The date is contested and we hedge it deliberately. Several states bite earlier still. Our standing advice has not changed: plan for 12 November and treat 11 December as upside. We keep every moving part dated in the federal hemp deadline tracker, and the state-by-state guide is where to check your own.
Names, aliases & distinctions
Search aliases: AMH, Amnesia
Leafly shortens the name to AMH on its page. Amnesia and Amnesia Haze are used interchangeably on vendor shelves, but Amnesia Lemon, Super Lemon Haze and Ghost Train Haze are separate cultivars that share the Haze vocabulary, not the record. Amnesia Haze Sativa on a listing is a category label attached to the name, not a different strain.
Our Jack Herer and Blue Dream profiles cover two other Haze-descended names; the shared word points to a family, not to matching chemistry.
Amnesia Haze FAQs
Can I buy Amnesia Haze online?
Yes, as pre-rolls, vapes, disposables and cartridges. Our partners listed eight Amnesia Haze products — five at CBD.co and three at LooperVerse — on 28 September 2026, from Looper, URB, Torch, Pixie and Binoid. None of them is flower sold as Amnesia Haze genetics — hemp growers largely sell their own cuts under their own names — so ask what is actually in the product and whether a batch COA backs the name.
Is Amnesia Haze indica, sativa or hybrid?
The cited catalogue classifies Amnesia Haze as a sativa. This is a catalogue label; it does not establish a uniform chemical profile or reliably predict an individual’s experience.
What are Amnesia Haze’s parent strains?
The cited catalogue reports Haze × Afghani. This is an attributed ancestry account, not genetic authentication.
What does Amnesia Haze smell like?
The catalogue describes citrus, lemon, lime notes. These are sensory descriptions, not an ingredient list or an identity test. Different samples carrying the same name need not match the description.
What effects are reported for Amnesia Haze?
The cited catalogue’s user-report categories include giggly, euphoric, talkative. These are subjective reports, not controlled clinical findings, guaranteed outcomes or evidence that the strain treats a condition.
What is the THC percentage of Amnesia Haze?
There is no single verified THC percentage assigned to Amnesia Haze in this guide. A useful potency figure must be tied to a particular tested sample or batch, with a laboratory, date and units. A catalogue average or maximum cannot establish another sample’s THC or CBD content.
Which terpenes are reported for Amnesia Haze?
The catalogue names Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Limonene. This is an attributed description, not a measured ranking for a sample. A quantitative terpene chart would need a traceable laboratory report rather than percentages inferred from smell or the strain name.
What awards has Amnesia Haze won?
Leafly lists first place at the 2004 Cannabis Cup and first place in the 2012 Sativa Cup. A competition result records what judges thought of particular entries in particular years; it is not a property of every jar that carries the name today.
Is Amnesia Haze the same as Amnesia?
On most shelves, yes — Amnesia is the everyday shortening. Amnesia Lemon and other compound names are separate crosses. When a listing says only Amnesia, read the description before assuming it means this Haze.
