i agree with Lokes, around here, piff and fire just mean that its good herb being sold by some idiot who doesn't know the name of the strain. and its completely different all the time.
C21H30O2 raises a good point... not so much about where the goods come from but about most people being impatient for really good herb to mature. everyone wants huge yields in under 8 weeks. The best I have ever come by will never fit that bill. Good things DO come to those who wait sometimes I guess
don't you guys think the problem stems from a bottle neck of genetics. I would say about 90% of the strains people smoke these days came from the same kush, haze, and afghani genetics. Some are stronger than other, some have different effects but for the most part they are limited to the genetics from which the sprung. That being said I have smoked quite a bit of grass valley herb lately and for those who don't know grass valley herb is the shit. everyone raves about Humboldt but i have gotten better stuff on a consistent basis from grass valley not only that it is unique in its appearance, flavor, taste and high. I think this is because there are a shit load of old heads in that area and they have been trading and breeding with unique genetics ie. sativas from India, Laos, Africa, and south America. Not just haze, skunk, and kush. When i smoke grass valley herb I don't get stoned or high I go on a fucking trip lol. There are a lot more effects available to us in the cannabis genome we just need to broaden our genetic base. We need an influx of landrace genetics, we need people that have enough forethought and are patient enough to grow out those 15+ week flowering strains because those are the strains that have legs, that last 4 hours, and are characteristically different from the smoke we are all use to (not that its bad, but it can be better with greater variety)

Spot on brother. If you were to start back from scratch using some of the more isolated landraces. A new elite would pop up every month due to variety.
The funny thing is exposure has a lot to do with whether it is elite or not.
