Everyone has a different definition of what they "think" something is. I find this commonly among peoples definition of what a "hot" girl looks like (I can understand that some guys sleep with anything, but "hot" should not be used lightly) and with people's definition of weed. Weed is not "high grade" because it has a name on it.
With the explostion of growing marijuana and different strains of marijuana, people are getting so caught in the "names" of weed that I think they are losing touch of what good weed is. There is more to this than just "getting high". You can smoke alot of garbage weed and get high but don't trick yourself into believing something because you spent money on it!
I live in San Diego and California all around has been pretty known to have great strains of MJ. Regardless of what state you live in, if you've been around BOMB weed for a long time, you know what good shit is. But I guess people are losing their judgement on what weed is now'a days.
I've grown, (I still do), I have a med card from the State and not just some Pot Doc on the street for $100, and I went up north to San Fran to visit one of my growing buddies and while I was there, I checked out 3 dispensaries. I didn't want to drive for 10 hours with an ounce on me so I bought some while up there (until I met my boy, then he hooked me up!)
I don't want to put the names of the dispensaries on blast, but they typically will have anywhere from 6 different kinds all the way up to 30. Or more in some locations. But what I noticed was, of the places that had 11 strains or more, only 3 were good and the others were garbage! How could you name something "white widow" and it looks like commercial weed and doesn't have a smell?
How can you list on the outside of the jars "Silver Haze, Blue Dream, Afghan, Master Kush, Ol' Betsy" and other names, and have all of them are crap except for maybe a few of them? I know that not everyone is a grower, but are people really this stupid? Do they see crystals and think immediately this must be good?
I'm starting to see that now on the streets. "My boy had some JEDI and it was some FIRE shit." (and I know the JEDI) so I go to look at it and the nugs are all popcorn, has a sweet little smell, but man, is this whats going on today? All kinds of shit selling for anything?
It's December and there is waaaaaaaay too much outdoor coming from up-north (and alot of it is good weed) but alot is garbage too and the streets are flooded with anything thats green. I know there is weed that gets you SUPER HIGH, but for starters, if your weed does not have a smell, please don't call it anything! Say I have "some shit". Because that's what you have.
When you meet with one of your friends, and they haven't even pulled the sack out of their pocket and they smell like some SUPER FIRE SHIT, then you know they've probably got good weed on them. If anyone tells you "pinch the nug and smell it" it's probably garbage. You don't have to put your nose in a ziploc bag WITH AN OUNCE IN IT to smell it.
I'm just rambling and wondering if others have seen this decline in people's judgement also. Is there a flood of garbage where you live too? I know when a rookie comes and thinks it's paradise because their smokin brown-brick weed, or weed with stems, and anything that looks green must be great to them, but have you noticed this in your area too? Have people just tricked themselves into thinking their weed is great because they bought it in a med shop or it has a name on it?
The shops around here are declining in quality, but I think they're not worried because they can still sell the garbage to people. Some shops will have a few good strains, but majority are not worth your money. Or maybe were in a recession and people can't afford $60 - $75 eigths of some killer dank. But I'm saddened by this.
Sorry for rambling guys. I get so upset when buddies try to claim "they have this kind, or they have that kind" and its not all that.
Someone else has to feel the same way!
