Amnesia Haze: The Ultimate Buying Guide | Coffeeshopfinder.nl

Amnesia Haze is the most well-known cannabis strain you'll find in almost every coffeeshop in the Netherlands. When buying weed is your goal, there's a good chance you (just like many others) will order the Amnesia Haze option from the coffeeshop menu.

But despite this product's enormous popularity, most users actually know very little about this cannabis strain. Many people have questions like:

What exactly is Amnesia Haze?
How strong is Amnesia Haze?
Where does Amnesia Haze's popularity come from?
Where can I buy Amnesia Haze at a coffeeshop nearby?

In this Coffeeshop Finder blog post, you'll get an answer to all of these questions at once!

What is Amnesia Haze?

Let's start at the beginning.

Amnesia Haze is the world-famous cannabis strain known for a number of specific characteristics:

Sativa dominant: First and foremost, this is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain. This type of cannabis plant is essentially a hybrid variety, but primarily with characteristics of the Cannabis sativa plant. The combined genetics with the Cannabis indica plant result in a very specific composition. Typically, this means the effect leans more toward a mental high rather than a physical stoned feeling.
Potent effect: Additionally, Amnesia Haze stands out for its notably high THC content. THC is the active compound in cannabis that's responsible for the actual high. With a THC content of around 20% (or even higher), we can certainly speak of a potent effect. This is often described as an energetic, fairly intense high that simultaneously produces a relaxing effect. The name 'Amnesia' wasn't chosen by accident either. It refers to the strong effect and playfully nods to the literal translation (memory loss) to convey the intensity of the experience.
Unique flavor: Equally important is Amnesia Haze's unique flavor. Especially for more experienced smokers, it's fairly easy to distinguish Amnesia Haze's specific taste from other cannabis strains. You'll generally notice a fresh, earthy, and spicy flavor sensation. It wouldn't be unusual to describe it as a citrus aroma. When you try Amnesia Haze for the first time, you'll immediately understand what this means.

So by now you have a fairly good picture of what Amnesia Haze essentially is. But why does this product have such a reputation as an exceptionally strong cannabis strain?

How strong is Amnesia Haze?

That Amnesia Haze is strong is a fact. But exactly how strong? That's the question you're curious about, whether you're a beginner or a more experienced cannabis smoker.

High THC content

As briefly mentioned above, Amnesia Haze has a relatively high THC content. This is the main reason for its reputation as 'very potent.' In most cases, the THC content lands at a percentage between 20 and 25%. This automatically makes it one of the strongest cannabis strains available in Dutch coffeeshops.

Euphoric high

Due to the high THC content and the strong sativa effects that come with it, you'll experience a euphoric high. You'll feel noticeably more energetic, and most users often feel a very pleasant sensation in their head. This is the cerebral effect.

Warning for beginners

Although it's certainly possible for beginners to give Amnesia Haze a chance and try it for the first time, this generally comes with a warning. Keep in mind that you'll experience a fairly intense effect. This will quickly explain the name Amnesia for you.

Why is Amnesia Haze so popular?

As we mentioned earlier, Amnesia Haze is one of the most popular cannabis strains in the world. And this has everything to do with a combination of characteristics that the average cannabis user greatly appreciates.

While we've already discussed the potent effect and high THC content in detail, you should definitely not overlook the following points:

Award-winning: What many people don't know is that Amnesia Haze is an award-winning cannabis strain. The so-called Cannabis Cup has been won multiple times by this premium strain. As a result, it has confirmed its status over the years as one of the most beloved cannabis strains. Such a prestigious award is in many ways the best possible advertisement for a product. It's therefore no surprise that almost all coffeeshops you'll find in the Coffeeshop Finder tool have Amnesia Haze on their menu.
Nostalgic value: Additionally, this cannabis strain has significant nostalgic value. It has become a central part of the overall coffeeshop culture. As early as the 2000s, this product appeared on menus in Dutch coffeeshops. For many regular users, it therefore brings a feeling of nostalgia. People simply default to choosing Amnesia Haze the moment they walk into a coffeeshop. This familiar feeling is something that many fans of this product will confirm. As a result, its name recognition remains undiminished.
High yield for growers: Certainly not unimportant is the fact that Amnesia Haze delivers excellent yields for growers. Although this product requires a bit more care during cultivation than other options, there's still an important reason to decide to grow this cannabis strain: the yield. The thicker, almost resinous buds are very popular among the average grower. This makes the investment in terms of time, money, and effort absolutely worth it. Even with the emergence of all kinds of new strains, it remains a beloved option among growers.
Versatile experience: As is now well known, Amnesia Haze is quite strong in itself. But despite the fact that you need to be able to handle it, it always delivers a versatile experience on the other hand. Due to the balanced mental high, you'll normally feel quite cheerful and talkative. This is exactly why groups of friends also enjoy buying Amnesia Haze together and smoking it as a group. It often leads to a great time.

So it makes perfect sense that Amnesia Haze is still so popular today and will likely remain so in the coming years. This also creates an opportunity for people who want to grow their own cannabis.

How to grow Amnesia Haze?

Growing Amnesia Haze is essentially possible for everyone. The only thing is that you need access to the right materials and know exactly what to do. All in all, it's quite an extensive process.

Still want to grow Amnesia Haze yourself? Then the following step-by-step plan will help you:

Buy seeds: To grow Amnesia Haze yourself, you'll need seeds. There are several options to choose from, with feminized seeds and autoflower seeds being the most important. Feminized is in many ways the 'classic' choice. You'll have full control over the growth and should expect a growing time of approximately 2.5 to 3 months. Are you a complete beginner? Then you're probably better off choosing the autoflower variant. These start flowering automatically after just a few weeks.
Create a growing environment: Growing Amnesia Haze is best done in an environment with a relatively constant temperature between 21 and 28 degrees Celsius. This is also why in the Netherlands you should really always grow it indoors, since the outdoor temperature fluctuates too much.
Care: The care throughout the entire growing phase must be meticulous. For example, Amnesia Haze is sensitive to overfeeding, so it's a good idea to start with a smaller amount of liquid nutrients. Make sure to use airy soil so that there's good oxygen supply to the roots. Also provide sufficient water to keep it slightly moist and prevent drying out.
Be patient: The total growing time takes approximately 10 to 12 weeks. One of the biggest challenges of growing Amnesia Haze yourself is not harvesting too early. The buds are known for continuing to grow significantly in the final few weeks.

Please note that in the Netherlands, growing a maximum of 5 plants for personal use is tolerated, as long as you don't use professional equipment.

Buy Amnesia Haze at a coffeeshop nearby

The whole growing process is all well and good, but certainly not for everyone. For the vast majority of enthusiasts, it's going to be a matter of buying Amnesia Haze at a coffeeshop nearby.

Pay attention to the following points to make sure you find the right coffeeshop:

Menu: It seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people still arrive at a nearby coffeeshop only to find out on the spot that they don't have what they're looking for. At Coffeeshop Finder, we therefore recommend always checking the menu of your chosen coffeeshop in advance. Is Amnesia Haze on it? And are there perhaps other Amnesia variants that you might also find interesting to try sometime?
Product reviews: Next, it's also very smart to check the product reviews. Did you know that for many coffeeshops we show reviews specifically per product? This way you immediately get a good picture of the quality of, for example, the Amnesia Haze at a specific coffeeshop. The thing is, many regulars often return to specific coffeeshops where they've had a good previous experience. When you see in the (product) reviews that the Amnesia Haze is being praised to the skies, you know you're in good hands.
Opening hours: At Coffeeshop Finder, we do everything we can to inform you from A to Z about every coffeeshop. An important part of that is the opening hours of every shop nearby. So take a look at our tool to immediately find out when your coffeeshop opens and closes. This way you avoid the frustration of standing in front of a closed door. Instead, you'll have your Amnesia Haze or other cannabis or hash strain in no time!
Price: Finally, you might think that the price of Amnesia Haze is the same at every coffeeshop, but that's definitely not the case. There can be quite a bit of variation, depending on the location, the city, and the reputation of the coffeeshop itself. So if there are a few coffeeshops near you to choose from, and they all offer Amnesia Haze, then compare the prices first before making your decision. Who knows, you might save quite a bit of money!

With that, you're now fully informed about everything there is to know about Amnesia Haze. You now know exactly what it is, why it's so popular, and what to look for when you decide to buy this product at a coffeeshop in your city.

Whether you live in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht, or another major city in the Netherlands — it's almost always possible to physically stand in front of a coffeeshop menu within half an hour. After buying one or more Amnesia Haze joints (or other products), you're then free to smoke them in the coffeeshop, outside, or simply at home.
