a while ago I saw a short documentary about German drug dealers spraying their weed with artificial cannabinoids to increase potency. the pseudo-codename they used for it was "haze". in the UK it's very common for dealers to sell two strains of weed, a generic "haze" and one other strain, often "stardog". whether this "haze" is the same thing or not, I do not know, but it's a health concern. it's a hard one to test for as well, because the testing kits I've come across cannot distinguish between artificial and natural cannabinoids

That's just some specific scumbags jumping on a legit weed name - there are lots of haze strains, called things like "amnesia haze", "lemon haze", etc and the haze in their name has nothing to do with anything being sprayed on or anything dodgy at all, they're just normal strains of weed that happen to be very popular.

For years, possibly still now but I don't know, Amnesia Haze was the most popular strain in Amsterdam, and for years now in the UK various hazes are the most popular, and because there's a few similar ones (generally not Amnesia Haze but the milder ones) end dealers often aren't sure which haze they've got but have been told it's a haze and they know the common features/tastes between the common UK hazes they can tell it's one of them but it's hard to guess which.

Go back ten years and the situation was the same with cheese - there were 4-5 cheese-related strains circulating in London for years, and 3 times out of 5 a dealer wouldn't know which kind just that "it's some sort of cheese it's really great" (ofc it's always the absolute best when being sold!). I'm sure if some asshole decided to spray their weed ten years ago they'd have considered calling that stock "cheese" as their code name since nobody hearing them talk about it would think anything. Same with haze now.
