Appearance

Although their genetic background is mainly sativa, Pineapple Haze buds exhibit a dense and typical indica bud structure. The tightly-coiled chartreuse-colored leaves appear decorated with coffee-stained pistils. Crystalline, maple colored trichomes coat the inner and outer surfaces of the compact flowers. Stickier than honey, Pineapple Haze gums up your fingers with its highly adhesive resin.

Distinct notes of mint, sage, and verbena add to the addictively delicious aroma of Pineapple Haze. Pineapple Haze burns with a smooth and forgiving smoke which is skunky and citrusy on the exhale. The aftertaste is tropical with hints of diesel.

Effects
Within a few moments of the first toke, you’ll begin to feel a thumping cerebral buzz and a steadily growing sense of euphoria. The forehead and temples will feel a warming sensation. You may even have a little brow sweat. Pineapple Haze is a perfect wake-and-bake choice. The buzz provides optimism and energy first thing in the morning. In moderation, its psychoactive components are distinguished by a clearheaded high with almost no ceiling and little sedative effects. Subtle relaxation attributed to indica genetics can be felt but these sensations take the passenger seat to the driving sativa high.
