// Definition
The historical emergence of 'Skunk' and 'Haze' as specific named cannabis strain varieties, evolving from generic regional designations (Colombian, Mexican, Thai) to cultivar-specific names in the late 1970s cannabis breeding scene.
// From the Episode
Bubbleman asks Mel Frank directly: 'Colombia, Mexican, when did those become skunk and haze? When did they begin?' Frank explains how early cannabis was identified by geographic origin, and specific strain names with identifiers like 'skunk' and 'haze' only emerged when breeders began deliberate hybridization. Skunkman Sam's skunk seeds are mentioned as a pivotal development. Mel says he grew haze at one time and really liked it, noting its 9-10 month flowering time and exceptional fragrances.
