Amnesia Haze CBD flower is one of the most recognisable names in the UK hemp flower scene, and for good reason. The original Amnesia Haze is a legendary sativa-leaning strain with decades of history behind it, and its CBD-rich counterpart carries the same distinctive citrus-forward character that made the name famous. In this strain spotlight, we take a closer look at where Amnesia Haze comes from, what its buds look and smell like, the terpenes behind its aroma, and what UK buyers should know before ordering.
The Story Behind Amnesia Haze
Amnesia Haze traces its lineage back to the Haze family of strains, a group of long-flowering sativas that breeders have worked with since the 1970s. The genetics are famously well-travelled: most accounts point to a blend of South Asian and Jamaican landrace varieties refined over the years by Dutch breeders, which is why the strain is so strongly associated with Amsterdam's coffee-shop culture. It went on to win multiple Cannabis Cup titles in the early 2000s, cementing its place as one of the best-known strain names in Europe.
The CBD version of Amnesia Haze is bred to keep the strain's signature aroma and appearance while being dominant in CBD rather than THC. Hemp breeders cross Haze genetics with high-CBD hemp cultivars, selecting for the citrus and spice character that defines the original.
What Amnesia Haze CBD Flower Looks and Smells Like
Appearance
Amnesia Haze CBD buds tend to follow the classic sativa template: slightly elongated, spear-shaped flowers rather than the dense, round nuggets you see on indica-leaning strains. Well-grown examples show light to mid-green colouring with amber pistils threaded through the bud and a visible dusting of trichomes — the tiny crystal-like glands where cannabinoids and terpenes are concentrated.
Aroma
The nose is where Amnesia Haze earns its reputation. Expect a bright, zesty lemon-citrus top note, backed by earthy spice and a subtle sweet, almost incense-like undertone that Haze strains are known for. Compared with fruit-forward strains like Blueberry or dessert-style strains like Gelato, Amnesia Haze sits firmly in the sharp, citrus-and-spice camp.
Amnesia Haze CBD Flower: The Terpene Profile
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give each hemp strain its individual character, and Amnesia Haze has a distinctive mix. The profile is typically led by terpinolene and limonene — the compounds associated with its citrus sharpness — supported by myrcene, which brings the earthy base note, and caryophyllene, which adds a touch of pepper and spice. If you want a deeper dive into how these compounds work, our guide to terpenes in CBD flower covers the main players in detail.
Because terpenes are volatile, freshness matters. Buds stored in airtight, light-proof packaging hold their aroma far longer, which is worth remembering once your order arrives — a sealed jar in a cool cupboard will keep that citrus nose intact.
How Amnesia Haze Compares to Other CBD Strains
Within a typical UK CBD flower menu, Amnesia Haze occupies the classic sativa-style slot. OG Kush offers a fuel-and-pine profile, Zkittlez leans sweet and fruity, and Northern Lights sits at the earthy, resinous end of the spectrum. Amnesia Haze stands apart with that unmistakable sharp lemon character — if you've tried a few strains and want something zesty rather than sweet or earthy, this is usually the one to reach for. You can see how it stacks up against the rest of the range in our guide to the best CBD flower strains in the UK.
Buying Amnesia Haze CBD Flower in the UK
When comparing Amnesia Haze CBD flower from different sellers, a few practical checks go a long way. Look for a stated CBD percentage backed by third-party lab reports, clear photography of the actual buds rather than stock images, and discreet, smell-proof packaging for delivery. Price per gram usually improves at larger weights, so if you already know you like the strain, bigger bags tend to offer better value.
At Easygreen CBD, our Amnesia Haze CBD flower is hand-trimmed, slow-cured and shipped in sealed, unbranded packaging with fast UK delivery.
On legality: CBD itself is legal in the UK, but CBD hemp flower sits in a genuine legal grey area because it is derived from the cannabis plant. The often-quoted "under 0.2% THC" figure refers to hemp cultivation licensing rather than finished retail products, so it is worth understanding the landscape before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Amnesia Haze CBD flower the same as the original Amnesia Haze?
No. It shares lineage and the signature citrus-spice character, but it is bred from hemp cultivars to be CBD-dominant. It is a different product from the high-THC strain sold in Dutch coffee shops.
What does Amnesia Haze CBD flower smell like?
Sharp lemon citrus up front, with earthy, spicy and lightly sweet incense-like notes underneath — a profile driven by terpinolene, limonene, myrcene and caryophyllene.
How should I store Amnesia Haze CBD flower?
In an airtight container away from light, heat and moisture. A sealed glass jar in a cool, dark cupboard preserves the terpene profile and keeps buds from drying out.
