Please help me figure out what strain this was. No need for specifics.
I know that this sounds like a whats-in-my-pill kind of question, but I figured you weed connoiseurs might have fun with this one
mods feel free to close/merge..etc.
A long time ago, maybe 3 years, I bought a gram of weed from a random highschool kid for a regular price....etc. It wasn't special, since I don't use cannabis often and this was just another once-in-a-while casual purchase. Mind you, I live in Canada, and at least in my area, we generally don't know what strain we're smoking. But this weed was the BEST I have ever smoked...
The weed itself had visible, very thin, long, light-green coloured leaves. Between and around the leaves was LOTS of BRIGHT WHITE trichomes... like cotton. It was amazing how dense they were.
The smoke was smooth, smelled like incense, and the taste like fruit. I mean it tastes REALLY GOOD, no weed I ever smoked tasted like that.
The high was psychedelic - very stimulating, very euphoric, lots of visuals, absolutely no "stoned" or stupid or lazy feeling. It was *amazing*. And I never, ever had anything come close to it untill last year, someone whose friend was doing a small grow gave me what was identified as Haze, it was similar, but much more mellow and, well, hazy
. Still, it was different.
Any ideas? Of course we'll never know what it is, but I'd like to narrow it down to all the possibilities...
Oh, I'd like to add that I'm experienced enough with most drugs to know that the high experienced was just cannabis, not laced with anything.

I cant read
Was it called Purple Haze? Yea, I know- not purple.
My kid mentioned it to me before..........I think.

Well to my knowledge "Haze" is a rather well-known strain of weed that is mostly sativa. It was the closest to the one I'm trying to figure out, but I am very sure its not it.
"Purple haze", to my knowledge, is no longer cultivated. But I could be wrong... our friends here will probably know better.
My mystery strain had no colour in it but light-green and cotton white.
ps. love your avatar

This is far, far less likely to ever get a correct response than the "wtf was on this blotter?" threads. There is so much room for variation in plants.
The best you will get is narrowing it down to being more in the sativa or indica direction (and this definitely sounds more sativa).
But I have seen individual plants from the same strain - even plants grow from seed off the same plant pollinated by the same father have pretty different smell and other physical characteristics.
The final color can even be influenced by things other than the plants traits, such as how it was dried and stored.
The Haze plants are full sativas, and not as common in commercial cultivation due to the extremely long flowering periods and tall, lanky, sinewy plants that are a major PITA to grow indoors. Some of the flowering periods are so long that you could flower 2 rounds of a quicker commercial indica strain.

durban poison is infact quite an old strain (from what i know, which isnt a whole lot compared to others on this site) and yeah originated from S. Africa.. and yes is known to be one of the more potent strains.. for its time anyway?? if uve scored the real deal ull probably know about it
Overgrow was the bible. was tragic when it got shut down, learnt a whole lot from that site.

haha, yeah, there's no way to tell you what strain it was, even if you had a pic. there's so many different varieties, and possible phenotypes of each strain, that guessing on a single one is very unlikely.
still though, sounds like great weed

'Oh aye sham, Kali Mist, this shit's so good you forget where you are' Thats what my dealer said to me. Bullshit it was Kali Mist but it was good smoke. You know that type of grass that smells nice and fruity that you just have to take a little bit and chew on it, man I could taste all the colours of the rainbow

^^ Dude you don't know that it wasn't Kali Mist. It's very popular where I'm from and I've smoked it from multiple sources many times. I've probably smoked at least a pound of Kali Mist. And I would know it a mile away as well since I've smoked different phenos of it and nugs that were picked at different stages of the growth cycle.
Kali mist is a fantastic guess for this strain as the more sativa type nugs are light and fruity with a very unique spicy fruity smell. Wonderful stuff
As for haze, there are a ton of haze crosses that could be like what you're talking about. The reason there are so many crosses like this but you only got weed this good once is because it's so good and often so difficult to grow that it gets smoked up before it can hit the streets.
Also since you are from Canada haze must be much harder to get since from what I know indicas dominate up there.

Lol, thujone, you're welcome to join anytime, and so is anyone else
I would like to note that the nug I had had absolutely no (visible) sensemelia. It was simply a clump of leaves and fluff.
JB: You are correct about the indica predominance, and in fact this might be the only reason I don't smoke weed as much as I'd like to. What really strikes me is that the kid that sold it to me seemed completely oblivious of the superiority of what he was selling. It went for the regular price, just like any other of the millions of weed deals that happen daily in canada. haha.

Man... strain ID is impossible. Most of the BC strains are so interbred between a couple strains that nearly all the IBL's are closely related. The example I always think of is Sweet Red Grapefruit which is actually NL#2 with a different name. Kali Mist is a popular strain name, but is the same as Western Winds put out by Sag a couple years ago. Cinderella '99 is a quick flowering sativa that can find success in the North.
Haze's are generally 100% sativa, but not always. As well as the fact that most of the strain names people throw around are strains that were popular 5-10 years ago. No one's mentioned a Oger's Kush or Deep Chunk or even Sweet Tooth #3/4 of which both are potent commercial strains. You could have a Big Bud pheno that's super fruity and potent. A lot of strains are relatively unstable, meaning higher variability, and you can get vastly different results. After all that being said, it's more than ridiculous to try to come up with a strain name for a bud. Even with a picture and the seed packet next to it doesn't mean that much. Give me a list of 10 strains and 10 unlabelled bags of buds and I doubt I would be able to accurately match them. Unless you've grown a strain and "know" what it is and have spent a fair amount of time around it you won't have more than anecdotal evidence/understanding of that strain.
My understanding is that Purple Haze was never a strain. It's the name of a Jimi Hendrix song and there could be purple Hazes but not "Purple Haze". Excuse me... while I lick my thighs... uhnnnn... hahaha...
I've had access to a strain simply called Grapefruit. It's bred by Female Seeds. Awesome 100% sativa. Truly psychedelic with the most fruity, light essence of any weed I've experienced. I've had Trainwreck, various incarnations of Soma's Diesels, among other name-dropping strains, but this one is my favorite. A couple pics in someone's gallery.
Peace,

This can be done by something as simple as dropping the pH during the last week or two of flowering. Or lowering the temperature. Anthocyanin is produced in response to Potassium lock-out I believe and this causes purpling in plants. Which ironically is "desireable". People love pink and purple on their weed yet, while not universally true, it generally means the plant was significantly stressed during the last weeks of its' life potentially lowering potency.

Ok let me try to describe it.
The "trees' look like actual pine trees, they look fuzzy as opposed to very crystally, the outside is covered in fuzz THC-like stuff. It smells very "skunky" but sweet, it has a more calm milc cerebral high. It doesn't lead to any racing thoughts. The body is very stoned and relaxed, you want to just sit and mellow out. Trying to do alot of effort is very lethargic feeling.
It's almost a buddist like high, not THINKING neccesarily.
The smoke is very odd, when I bong it the smoke goes up the cyilinder like swirls, it doesn't cloud up thick and milky like the usual euphoric cerebral high sativa/hybrids(hybrids with a ratio closer to obvious lower concentrations of the sedating/stoning CVB)
I've seen pics of AK 47(so many get posted), that I immedietly recognized this bud.
As I smoked it I was like, "i see what people mean when they sit down after smoking it lol"

I am also from Canada and am familiar with what you are saying. This stuff is usually some mid grade stuff. Very leafy but in my opinion a much better high. All i can offer is sativa as a type. I have seen so many different nugs and never been offered a type, except once or twice when i got from the grower.
this kind of stuff seems to come around in the summer time and maybe once or twice in the winter. Its definitely sativa dominant.
and if it came from a high school student who knows.

Thanks for all the info, everyone
lol clamjuice... and YES, I had this at the end of summer, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes, of course, I know its impossible to identify the exact strain - hence the "no need for specifics" in my thread title. Perhaps eliminating what it is not would be more helpful?
So far:
- I agree that it is very high on the sativa end. I wouldn't be surprised if it is 100% sativa, because it lacked that one thing that I HATE about all the weed that I've smoked - the "stoning" feeling.
- It probably isn't skunk-related.
- It is not purple or red or blue.
