I'm sick of hearing people say "purp is extinct" when talking about purps.

    OK, I want to make this clear:

    Purple Haze, the genetic strain, may very well be extinct. I don't know.

    BUT: when people are talking about their dank purps, calling it "purple haze", someone always has to come in and say that they aren't smoking purple haze because it is extinct. I've seen and smoked purple weed before, and PEOPLE WILL CALL THEIR PURPLE WEED PURPLE HAZE. It doesn't matter if the technical strain is extinct, it's just what people like to call their purple weed. 99.999% of names are made up by the dealer anyway to give him an excuse to raise prices, so what's the difference?

    Purple Haze = slang for good purple weed. THAT'S IT.

    Bah, named weed is already kinda... well... It's mainly marketing, even in the Marijuana Community!

    I catch your drift tho, I'm sick of people just randomly saying: "Purp is extinct" whenever the strain's name is mentionned. No one cares. :smoke:

    Elend.

    the actual purple haze probably pales in comparison to some of the strains around now...i dont get why people care about it if its extinct...

    people can call it purple haze because they mix purple and a haze strain together. making a purple haze. and by mixing i mean crossing strains.

    the real purple haze is extinct.

    just read a few other forum threads on the topic. heres the best sounding argument for pure purple haze strains being extinct. also purple haze could just be a purple phenotype.

    "Hi

    Purple Haze seeds never existed, that is the strain never existed... as a cultivated line.

    Purple, pure Haze plants can be found in populations of pure haze plants, you will find some green ones, purple ones, pinkish, and almost black ones. Regardless of temps.

    These are mostly colourations brought about by the Colombian aspects of the hybridisation of the Haze lines back on Cali in the early '70's.

    The search for pure Purple Haze seeds is pointless. They dont exist, and they wont ever exist. The search for pure haze lines not so pointless and these can be found, although they are in very few peoples hands to be sure."

    I don't really like naming weed anything except Indica, Sativa, or a hybrid unless you are the grower or you bought in from a dispensary.
