Hi guys,i wanted to call the thread a few oservations regading the quality of cannabis commercially availible in Australia today.
Anyway,basicly over the last couple of months i have been aquiring and testing alot of the availble pot in my Area,i have been living in tasmania for the last couple of years(Don,t ask!).
Anyway,i have aquired many diffrent samples of verying Quality.
Losts of outdoor and a fair bit of indoor.
Now regarding the indoor,it seems most of the lines grown are very simular,and have been clones past around fopr many years,i encounterd many shunk#1 lines,some pure s#1,ohters hybrids with local bush lines but definatly sk#1 related,i aslo encounterd northern light and predominatly whit rhino,and hybris with local lines of it,but basicly most lines seemed very simular.Now regarding Quality,some of the stuff was well grown,but the majority where incorrectly dried and cured,or wet! it seems most growers aren,t intrested in quality product,just getting it out there as fast as possible.
Alot of the product was slightly inmature!
Please understand,this doesn,t come down to having dud contacts,it just seems over the last year or so,quality has dropped dramaticly!
There are some great growers out there,but they are not intrested in selling there product,they grow for themselves.
Even in the well grown and dried,cured products,i was not impressed,they produced what i call a bland stone,a stoning effect ijn the body,and a lethargic feel in the head,but no true what i consider psycoactive effects,most flavous where generic and boring,the product seemd bland andwith very generic flavous,and most of the product although seemingly well grown,was treated very badly in the drying and curing stages,these i did not even want to smoke,but did for testing purposes.
Now with the outdoor,most was grown from local availible bush lines,unrelated to the commercial seed scene,some exceptions where found,namely some northen lights,blueberry,and a local hybrid between the sour deisel i.b.l and cherry bomb.
Some was really well grown,but little,most was very inmarture,and badly grown,dried cured and packaged.
Now although most where badly grown and inproply cured,the local bush but proved supperior in effect to the commercial imported lines,and indoor,i found most of the bush where of pure sativa origin.but also some more indica influenced lines.
Most of the product was extremly poorly grwon,and of very low quality,with the odd gem,but i must say it produced a far better experiance that most of the indoor.No0w the question is why is this happening,and further,is this happening Australia wide?
I thought i would start this thread to gain an insight into this situation,and see the genral opinion from others in other states of Aus on this matter within there own state.
I am thinking this is the same situation all over Australia,and feel for non growers who have to purchase there supply.
I have notice the prices are getting crazzy,with 1g gramms of pretty rough bush going for $20,wtf! it really is a sad state of affairs.
UI am looking for others opinions,and would like to discuss the matter lore indepth,if you have something to add,please post your opinions,thanks...Sensient
