What is Ghost Train Haze and where does this strain come from?
Ghost Train Haze is a cultivar with a documented lineage: Rare Dankness Seeds breeding indicates Ghost OG and Nevil’s Wreck as parents. Sources consistently describe the genetics as sativa, and the leading terpene in pharmacy descriptions remains terpinolene. The declared THC content ranges from 19.8-24.2%.
The lineage comes from a database maintained by the breeder, and that is where its evidential power ends: the names of the parents were provided by the entity that developed this line, not the seller or seed catalog. Neither Ghost OG nor Nevil’s Wreck have entered the Polish pharmacy market, so comparing the offspring with the parents remains purely on paper.
The range of 19.8-24.2% is not a spread of measurements from several batches. It arises from the fact that the producer is allowed to deviate by ten percent from the nominal value stated in the product name. A single number on the label would promise precision that no one declares, which is why we provide the THC content only in ranges.
The terpene composition describes one source in this context, and the following list is based solely on it: caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, myrcene, ocimene, pinene, and terpinolene. The second Polish database lists this strain but does not detail the compounds, so there is nothing to compare it with. We do not provide percentage shares next to the names of terpenes because each database calculates them against a different sum, and the denominator remains unknown.
Which producers supply Ghost Train Haze to Polish pharmacies?
Two: Aurora and S-LAB. Both versions are marketed as Cannabis flos sold by prescription, and they differ primarily in the description of the terpene profile in the registry. The current assortment and prices are only in the list of available strains, as they change from week to week.
| Producer | Registry entry | How this version differs |
|---|---|---|
| Aurora | Cannabis flos Aurora Deutschland GmbH, Ghost Train Haze | The description mentions terpinolene, myrcene, limonene, pinene, ocimene, and linalool; caryophyllene is not included in this entry |
| S-LAB | Cannabis flos S-LAB, Ghost Train Haze | The description mentions terpinolene, caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene, and pinene; linalool and ocimene are missing |
Both entries come from the same database, so the discrepancy in the terpene list does not arise from a dispute between two sources. It lies within one description: the same strain name receives a different set of compounds depending on which producer submitted their version. Caryophyllene appears only in one entry, linalool and ocimene only in the second, and myrcene in both.
The availability of each version changes faster than any description. At the time of gathering data for this summary, the database showed Aurora’s position as widely available in circulation, and S-LAB as temporarily unavailable, even though both are registered. The strain returns to the pharmacy list with the release of another batch and disappears when it runs out.
Therefore, the list of producers answers a different question than the pharmacy list. It indicates who is introducing this name into the Polish market at all, not what can be realized by prescription today. The same principle applies to all variable numbers over time: they do not stand in the strain description but in one place in the service, which exists to update them, and that is where it is worth reaching for them.
What does Ghost Train Haze smell and taste like?
- caryophyllene caryophyllene
- limonene limonene
- linalool linalool
- myrcene myrcene
- ocimene ocimene
- pinene pinene
- terpinolene terpinolene (leading in the pharmacy list)
Citrusy, with a distinct resinous background. The base describing both pharmacy versions notes citrus, pine, spicy, and sour notes for one of them. The description for the second version leans towards floral and fruity, so the two descriptions of the same name do not sound identical.
The descriptors of the smell are a description of the sensation, not a measurement. No one marks them with a chromatograph or compares them in a blind test, so when two descriptions of the same strain provide a different set of notes, it is impossible to determine which one is more accurate. One can only note both, which we do above.
Terpinolene itself smells fresh, with notes of resin and citrus, on a herbal background, and it explains the pine accent in one of the descriptions. Limonene adds citrus, and pinene enhances the coniferous impression. None of these compounds occur in the dry flower separately, so the perceived aroma is a result of the entire mixture.
The smell does not predict the effect. The order of notes indicates what the nose perceives when opening the package, not how the raw material will behave after administration. The aroma descriptions from the pharmacy registry do not transfer to the publicly available category of cannabis flower, where the raw material is different and dispensed differently.
How long does it take for Ghost Train Haze to take effect and how long does the effect last?
It depends on the route of administration, not the strain name. No separate pharmacokinetic study has been published for Ghost Train Haze, so the ranges below describe the behavior of cannabis flower taken by inhalation or orally. The following paragraph presents them in the same form for all cultivars in this cluster.
The route of administration determines the course more than the strain itself, and the ranges below describe it, not this cultivar, because no pharmacokinetic study for a single cultivar has been published.
| Vaporization | After swallowing | |
|---|---|---|
| First sensations | after a few minutes | from half an hour to two |
| Onset | another dozen to thirty minutes | slow, over several hours |
| Total duration | within two to four hours | after six, sometimes eight hours |
| Typical error | none | taking a dose after thirty minutes, which gives both doses at once |
What is known and what is not known about the effects of this strain?
Not much, and not about the strain itself. Studies concern terpinolene as a single compound, not the flower named Ghost Train Haze. The rest of the descriptions, including the stimulating designation, come from registry materials and patient reports, which were not collected in a controlled manner or compared with any endpoint.
Two things have been demonstrated, both outside of humans.
| Study | Model and route of administration | What was shown |
|---|---|---|
| Okumura N et al., 2012 Oncology Letters PMID:22740904 |
in vitro (human cell line K562) | Terpinolene reduced AKT1 protein levels and inhibited the proliferation of human leukemia cells of the K562 line in culture; the study did not concern pain, sleep, or anxiety. |
| Ito K et al., 2013 Journal of Natural Medicines PMID:23339024 |
rodent (mouse, inhalation) | Inhaled terpinolene exhibited sedative effects in mice; the effect persisted even in mice with impaired olfaction, indicating that the action occurred after the compound was absorbed into the body through the nose, not solely through the perception of smell. |
The second study concerned in vitro.
No effects of terpinolene on pain, anxiety, or sleep have been demonstrated in humans or in any animal pain model; available data only includes sedative effects after inhalation in mice and effects on leukemia cell line in vitro.
On the other side stands the registry description, which attributes stimulating effects to this strain. The direction is opposite to the mouse study, and there is no contradiction to resolve: the strain description speaks of the flower with all its mixture of compounds, while the study is about one isolated terpene in an animal model. No patient reports have been systematically collected for this name.
What side effects have been reported from this strain?
None specifically for Ghost Train Haze. The reporting system works on medicinal products identified by batch number, so the strain name is not a unit of accounting in it. What is known pertains to cannabis flower as a group of raw materials and has been described below, without division by producer.
Reports of side effects are collected for medicinal products with a batch number, not for strain names, so the following pertains to cannabis flower as a group of raw materials. The most commonly reported are dry mouth, red eyes, and increased heart rate. Less frequently described are dizziness upon rapid standing, daytime drowsiness, and transient worsening of short-term memory, as well as anxiety increasing with dosage. A separate issue is medications taken concurrently, especially sedatives and those affecting coagulation: their assessment requires knowledge of the entire list of preparations, not just the description of the plant. We do not provide the frequency of these symptoms numerically, as public compilations for cannabis flower in Poland do not separate them by individual products.
For this strain, neither the high position of terpinolene in the profile nor the registry designation of stimulating effects changes this. Neither of them is safety data, as they did not arise from observations of patients taking this particular flower.
How to vaporize Ghost Train Haze?
There is no separate recommendation for it. Terpinolene, which leads in its profile, boils at around 184 degrees Celsius at atmospheric pressure, and source records range from 183 to 187 degrees. This is a physicochemical data point for the pure compound, not a setting for the vaporizer for the flower.
The boiling point is not a threshold below which nothing vaporizes. The compound also transitions to a gaseous phase much lower, just slower, so the number 184 degrees does not define the moment when terpinolene suddenly appears in the vapor. This breaks down into a separate entry on the evaporation of terpenes from the flower.
A separate matter is that the vaporizer setting does not equal the temperature of the raw material. The display shows the temperature of the heating element or chamber, and the flower in the chamber can be cooler by several degrees, depending on the device’s construction and how full the chamber is.
Terpene temperature tables circulating online provide different values for the same compound because they mix measurements taken under reduced pressure with atmospheric measurements. For terpinolene, the source records are consistent, but for the other terpenes in this profile, the discrepancy can be much greater.
Which strains are related to it?
None available in Polish pharmacies. Ghost OG and Nevil’s Wreck do not appear in the lineage of any other cultivar in this summary, so the pedigree graph does not indicate any siblings for Ghost Train Haze. The empty list is a result here, not a gap in the data.
The haze component in the name is not evidence of kinship. Among breeders, it functions as a category name, similar to kush or skunk, and is sometimes entered into the lineage instead of a specific plant. A parent recorded as haze does not identify any single individual, so two strains with such an entry do not become siblings because of it.
This is evident in examples from the same summary. Delahaze descends from White Widow and Super Silver Haze, and Lemon Haze Gelato from Lemon Haze crossed with Gelato. None of them has Ghost OG or Nevil’s Wreck in their lineage, even though all three names share the same word.
The empty sibling list is a decision, not an oversight. Adding connections based on intuition would create a false graph, where strains are linked by name similarity rather than documented lineage. If the breeder reveals more or if offspring from this line appear in Polish pharmacies, this section will change.
Frequently asked questions
Is Ghost Train Haze available in Polish pharmacies?
Yes, it is registered and introduced by two entities: Aurora and S-LAB. However, the availability of individual versions changes from batch to batch, so presence in the registry does not mean that the flower is currently behind the pharmacy counter.
How much THC does Ghost Train Haze contain?
The declared content ranges from 19.8-24.2%. The ranges arise from the allowable deviation of ten percent from the nominal value, so a single number on the label would be misleading.
Which terpene leads in the profile of this strain?
Terpinolene. It is indicated by the description of both pharmacy versions, coming from one source, as the second Polish database does not detail terpenes for this strain.
How do the Aurora and S-LAB versions differ?
In the terpene list in the registry description. Aurora’s entry mentions linalool and ocimene, which are not in S-LAB’s entry, while S-LAB’s entry mentions caryophyllene, which is not in Aurora’s. Both entries come from the same database.
Does Ghost Train Haze have siblings among pharmacy strains?
No. Its parents, Ghost OG and Nevil’s Wreck, do not appear in the lineage of any other cultivar in this summary. The common haze component in the names of other strains does not indicate kinship.
Does terpinolene have a sedative effect?
This effect has been described in mice after inhalation, and it is the only animal model in which it has been studied. It does not automatically transfer to humans or to the flower in which terpinolene is one of the components.
