Ghost Train Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain bred from Ghost OG and Neville’s Wreck, known for a sharp citrus aroma and a fast, energetic head high. It was developed by Rare Dankness and became one of the best-known high-potency Haze hybrids of the 2010s. Lab results commonly land in the high teens to mid-20s for THC, with terpinolene usually leading the terpene profile.

Where Ghost Train Haze Comes From
Ghost Train Haze comes from Rare Dankness, a breeder that crossed Ghost OG, a lemony OG Kush cut, with Neville’s Wreck. The Train and Haze in the name presumably nod to the Wreck side of the family, though the sources reached do not spell out Neville’s Wreck’s own parentage. The original release is often written as Ghost Train Haze #1, and growers have since passed along several phenotypes under that name.
The strain earned its reputation on potency and on how much Haze character survived the OG cross. It has gone on to serve as a parent: Leafly lists Citradelic Sunset and Brick House among its offspring. Exact release dates are not well documented, so treat any specific year you see with caution.
Ghost Train Haze Effects: What It Feels Like
The onset is quick and mostly mental. Most people describe a bright, clear lift in mood and focus within the first few minutes, with a burst of energy that suits tasks, errands and creative work. The body stays light and active rather than heavy.
Like many terpinolene-forward Hazes, it can tip into racing thoughts or jitters if the dose is large. Strong batches are better approached with a small first hit, and it is a poor choice for winding down at night.
Ghost Train Haze Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
The aroma is sour citrus with a floral edge, often compared to lime and sage. Breaking up the flower adds a sharper, almost herbal note from the Haze side.
Terpinolene is usually the dominant terpene in lab data, followed by limonene and myrcene. That mix explains the fresh, bright flavor and the tendency toward a lively, uplifting effect.
- Terpinolene: fruity, piney and herbal, common in classic sativas
- Limonene: bright citrus, also found in lemon and orange peel
- Myrcene: earthy, musky and herbal, also found in mango and hops
Terpene levels vary from grower to grower and batch to batch, so check the lab label on the package. Learn more in our guide to cannabis terpenes.
Side Effects and How to Use Ghost Train Haze
Dry mouth and dry eyes are the common complaints, and some users report dizziness. Anxiety or a racing mind is the main risk with a strong sativa like this one, especially for people sensitive to Haze strains. Keep water nearby and go slowly.
How strong Ghost Train Haze feels depends on the batch, your tolerance and how you consume it. Start low, go slow, and read our guide to dosing cannabis.
