Ye i do hear that there was never much hash in the states. Over in most european countries all you can get is hash as a kid and youve gotta fight to death to find weed in some areas.
I think youre referring to Super silver haze right? If im not mistaken thats silver haze cubed to the haze, and amnesia cubes to the NL.
Also what is deemed the classic haze taste for you? What about in the US generally? I know haze was created over there back in the early 80s, right? But in Holland they really crossed the fuck out of it. Funnily enough ive had Mako Haze too, though dont recall it very well. I find Amsterdam its all about the Hazes they have. I personbally am very fond of the vanilla-ey hazes. The peppery ones too. My least favourite are the piney and spice ones. Amsterdam is pretty great for a research trip, i kinda wish i could call up certain coffeeshops monthly to see whats on. Also not many clone only strains kicking around and they always know what seed bank they belong to.
i think you hit the nail on the head as far as what i consider the classic haze taste.. that peppery, spicy taste, i can't really put it any better than that tbh, but definitely peppery for sure.. it has a very unique taste that i can spot a mile away.. i've never had a piney tasting haze though, that sounds more like an og kush to me..
purple haze it the reason i started growing.. i was getting it from a guy at work, and it was really good bud, but i'm embarrassed to say what i was paying for it.. and it got to the point that he wasn't able to source any for awhile, so i was smoking lesser quality, and it wasn't really getting me high anymore, so i pretty much said sod this, i can probably grow better bud than this crap, and it will surely be way cheaper.. never looked back..
yeah, from what i understand, the haze brothers are responsible for modern day hazes, they're from cali, back in i want to say the late 70's. early 80's or so.. haze is pretty popular in new york city, along with sour diesel.. it definitely seems like haze is more popular here on the east coast than on the west.. out west, they seem to be more into og's, and the flavor of the month type of stuff..
i don't know if you've ever checked this site out klite, but if not, you should imo.. when i was in amsterdam, they sold this small book, called the smokers guide to amsterdam, for about five euro.. in it, they had a bunch of coupons, maps to the shops, stuff like that.. come to find out, they also have a website with the same name.. it's pretty much a review site of the bud and hash in the dam.. they do a review on the bud / hash, and tell you which shop it was bought at.. the thing is though, i'm not sure how up to date it is, that's the only negative i can see in it..
