Where Purple Passion Comes From
Little reliable history exists for Purple Passion. Leafly lists no parents and no breeder, and describes it only as mostly indica with some sativa genetics. One reviewer on Leafly says Cresco released it in August 2022, but the page does not confirm that, so it should be treated as an unverified claim.
The name is also shared by other purple-themed cuts over the years, which is common for strain names built from color words. This profile describes the version that appears in the current strain databases, and it does not assert any lineage.
If you are trying to identify a specific jar, the lab sheet and the producer’s own description will be more reliable than the name alone.
Purple Passion Effects: What It Feels Like
Descriptions call Purple Passion gently relaxing rather than overwhelming. Leafly lists sleepy, giggly and relaxed as the main positives, and describes an intermediate body-heavy effect. The sativa side is credited with a touch of inspiration and introspection before the body calm takes over.
That makes it most suitable for evenings, a quiet night in or winding down before bed. With THC around 19%, it is moderate to strong, so a small first dose is a good idea.
Purple Passion Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
The smell is described as fruity candy, with an earthy base. Leafly lists rose, grape and floral flavors, and one description calls the taste harsh but pleasant.
Leafly’s terpene data puts myrcene first, then limonene and pinene. Myrcene adds earthiness, limonene a citrus note and pinene a hint of pine. Terpene totals will vary by batch.
- Myrcene: earthy, musky and herbal, also found in mango and hops
- Limonene: bright citrus, also found in lemon and orange peel
- Pinene: fresh pine, also found in pine needles and rosemary
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.

Growing Purple Passion
- Flowering: About 9 weeks
Leafly says Purple Passion matures in about 9 weeks and produces large, dense buds. No further grow data is available in the sources reviewed. Dense buds can be prone to mold in wet autumns, so airflow matters in the Pacific Northwest.
Home growing is legal for adults in Oregon (up to four plants per household) but only for registered medical patients in Washington; see the Oregon and Washington law guides. Many Oregon dispensaries sell clones and seeds; see where to buy clones in Eugene.
