Hey Guys..
I live in Portland, OR, now, but was born and raised in a little town about 90 minutes north of NYC. I just went back for a visit, and was talking to an old buddy who now lives in Westchester county. We got talking about weed (wasn't even sure he still smoked..) and I discovered that he does still get high, but it turns out he has never learned about the myriad details about the world of pot. For instance...he didn't know the difference between an indica and a sativa strain.
So, I spent some time giving him the history of weed in the US, and how when we were in high school (early 70's) the weed we were getting was sativas from south of the border. And then how the indoor growing wave began and how most of the product being grown indoors in the beginning were the short-in-height indicas, which was a big change in buzz from the up feeling sativa buzzes. I remember him mentioning back in the 80's how he found the buzz of weed to be mind numbing and how he didn't enjoy it so much anymore.
So anyway...after telling him that there is actually 2 very different kinds of weed-buzz, he was immediately able to recall how he, just by luck of the draw, ended up getting weed that was very different in its effect. He is a family man, and not inclined to research weed to find this stuff out on his own, so I'm trying to give him some information that can help him get the kind of weed he wants...less indica, more sativa (but not racy stuff).
I'm not familiar with the weed scene in NY at all. I'm hoping some of you guys who are familiar with the scene can recommend some strains that are very commonly found in the NY City/Westchester area that would fit this buzz description: an "up" buzz, likely a sativa/indica hybrid or maybe pure sativa, that is low on the paranoia scale, potency is not important...as a matter of fact, average potency might be a good thing here. My friend isn't wealthy, so strains that aren't priced way high would be desirable.
Thanks to anybody who can help me out with this! Oh yea, and I hope you guys are handling the aftermath of Sandy OK....shitty shitty storm.
