![]() While Hendrix claims the song is not drug related, the lyrics seem to vividly portray an intense acid trip. It was a traumatic experience, but in his dream his faith in Jesus saved him. In the dream, he said a purple haze surrounded him, engulfed him and got him lost. Many speculate that the 1967 song of the same name by Jimi Hendrix was named after this blotter paper or after the cannabis strain, but Jimi claims that the title of the song only had to do not with drugs but with a dream he had in which he was walking under the sea. LSD became illegal in 1966 and Owsley was arrested in 1967. Owsley's LSD came in 270 microgram tablets of purple (Purple Haze) and white (White Lightning). According to Scully, Augustus Owsley Stanley III, began to manufacture LSD in Los Angeles in 1965. In a High Times Magazine article by Bruce Eisner from January 1977, Eisner reports to have actually interviewed Tim Scully, one of the miscreants involved in creating the LSD. Purple haze refers to a specific LSD blotter created by Owsley Stanley. In concept, there is no original Purple Haze strain. Purple Haze does not necessarily mean high quality, and the term is often used by dealers to distinguish their product. In fact, the term "haze" was not used to identify marijuana until the strain was bred in 1970. Purple strains are often misidentified as purple haze due to the high popularity it gained due to the song by Jimi Hendrix. Contrary to highly popular belief regarding cannabis strains, Purple Haze is simply slang for a number of genetic crossbreeds of a purple strain and original Haze, such as Purple Star x Haze #1, Purple #1 x Haze #1, or Purple Skunk x Haze #1.
