The nickname Pot comes from the Spanish word Potiguaya, which means Marijuana Leaves. It's a Mexican-Spanish word that is a contraction of potación de guaya, which referred to an alcoholic drink made of marijuana leaves soaked in Brandy or Wine.
The Haze family line dates back to the 1960s and 70s in Santa Cruz, California. As legend has it, these strains were the brainchild of the “Haze brothers”. And according to renowned breeder and Skunk #1 creator “Sam the Skunkman”, the brothers simply went by the names “R. Haze” and “J.Mar 25, 2022

No it was actually the Hazel sisters, two twins both named Hazel (dumb hippy parents). The L got smeared off the bag.
That's the dumb types of stories you'll hear in the breeder scene.
All I know is that if you went to a lowrider show in the 90s Haze meant they had a fog machine in the trunk and pot leaf murals on the hood. And some green neon. Unless.. Purple haze. Then add hendrix mural and purple neon.

Yeah, I've only heard these stories about "haze" and "kush" decades later. No one called weed by those names back then, as far as I know. I used to hang around a lot of potheads, too. Once High Times magazine started being sold in the record stores, people started expanding their knowledge quite a bit. I would say that High Times was a BIG key player in the evolution from Mexican brick weed to the "connoisseur" weed strains like Maui Wowie, White Widow, Acapulco Gold, etc. But, even well into the High Times era, people had to keep their mouthes shut about growing. It's ironic that the strains were 1000% better back then, but were often poorly grown as a result of ignorance.
I had no idea that "pot" was a derivative of a Spanish word! We just called it "weed" for the most part....until the Cheech and Chong albums came out!
