Heisenberg THC Diamond Mango Haze

In this Heisenberg concentrate, the THCA has formed solid crystals, known as THC diamonds. The strain name, Mango Haze, belongs to a cross AllBud traces to Skunk, Northern Lights #5 and Haze.

How THCA crystals form and change

These crystals grow as a cannabis extract separates, with THCA settling out in solid form, and they also go by the name THCA diamonds. The THC in the name only arrives with heat, which converts THCA into THC. Our THC diamonds explainer goes through how the crystals are made. Because they form inside an extract, diamonds count as an extract themselves.

Mango Haze potency figures

Mango Haze, as a strain, comes in at roughly 20% THC and 0% CBD on Leafly, whose potency scale marks it above average for THC. On AllBud the figure is a range, 17% to 23%. Leafly classes Mango Haze as a sativa, while AllBud describes an even 50/50 hybrid. Leafly also records two strains bred from it, Mango Mintality and Strawberry Mango Haze.

Focused, energetic and uplifted in Leafly reviews

Leafly reviewers most often describe feeling focused, energetic and uplifted. AllBud describes a head high that is energetic and uplifting at first, then a relaxed body feel that takes its time to build. On flavour, Leafly links the strain with mango in smell and taste, and AllBud’s tags are citrus, sweet, tropical and fruity. For Mango Haze, Leafly’s terpene data runs terpinolene, then myrcene, then caryophyllene.

Health Canada’s numbers for inhaling cannabis

Health Canada’s lower-risk advice puts extracts in the high-THC bracket and tells newcomers and occasional users to give extracts, diamonds included, a miss. Its first-try figure for inhaled cannabis is 1 or 2 puffs, and that assumes a product holding 10% THC or less. Its timing for inhaled cannabis: first effects inside seconds to minutes, with the high peaking as late as 30 minutes on.

At least 6 clear hours should separate the last use of these diamonds from any driving, under its lower-risk use guidelines.
