NEVILLE’S HAZE, also known as NEVIL’S HAZE

In the early 1980s, David Watson, hoping for a more cannabis-tolerant venue for his work, moved to the Netherlands with some original Haze seeds, as well as some other varieties from California. There, Watson established “Cultivator’s Choice” Seeds. Some of Watson’s California seeds (including Skunk #1 and Haze) were sold for breeding purposes to another expatriate in the Netherlands, Neville Schoenmaker, an Australian bird breeder who had founded the Seed Bank, one of Amsterdam’s first seed companies.

Neville began to breed Watson’s original Hazes to tame their immense size and lengthy flowering cycles. Neville is supposed to have crossbred some his Northern Lights Afghan to tame the Haze. The result was Neville’s Haze, the first in a long line of Dutch Haze varieties. Though rare today, Neville’s Haze is both a snapshot of our past and a promise for the future. Varieties like Neville’s Haze represent excellent prospects for next-generation micro-dose cannabis therapy.
