Purple Haze

Psychedelic marijuana variety

Purple Haze is the title of a 1967 Jimi Hendrix song that became an iconic psychedelic rock anthem, known for its distorted guitar and lyrics evoking altered states of consciousness.

The phrase has since become slang for a potent strain of cannabis with purple-tinged buds, and more loosely describes any state of drug-induced confusion or disorientation.

I was in a purple haze after those edibles.

The term sometimes appears in contexts unrelated to drugs, suggesting bewilderment or dreamlike confusion.
