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.

There's always lots of choice in NYC, what about some nice Sour Diesel?

Thanks gtgio! Any other suggestions? From what I was just reading on the SD, it would seem to be quite a potent strain, would be good to find something not so ass kicking.

Haze.. I'm not sure the exact haze but definately haze is floating around here. Super silver haze, mango haze ,super lemon haze, heard of some train wreck as well.

I think if you oversmoke it would definitely lock you down, but I bet if your friend just took a smoke or two off a one-hitter he'd feel what he was after, its pretty heady

you have to be a hardcore "head" to develop connections with that kind of diversity, where you could request sativa dom strains and have your dealer say "sure, would you like Jack Herer, or C-99 today?? I have shopped the east coast blackmarket for 3 years on the consumer end and you might get lucky and find a sativa dom that was picked premature sometimes most folks are slangin' 8 week strains...

I have read about these high end delivery services in NYC where you might have a menu of strains but I've never found one.

I'm not saying it's not out there cause I'm growing sativas but the guys that are growing commercial crops usually don't.

I hope someone else here can help you with a connection or strain, i'd like to find some myself today... mines about 3 weeks from ripe.

A well grown sativa is hard to find newhere nowaday in the us .... Unless ya doin it yaself... Most growers it ain't practicle at all to take sumthin 14+ wks shit u can get 2 green crack runs in ...or some quick cookies...lol... And get the same ticket what can ya do charge double cuz it took twice as long....... Sativas are out there but ya gotta know someone and well cuz if they rocked it for the long run they arent gonna part with it.... But from what I heard the delivery is hit or miss .... But 80 n 8th everytime ....

The list is endless

#1 haze lol , kush n deez hybrids out da ass recently a watermelon strain has been talk of the town , ive seen in recent months la con, jack herrer , c99 , hawaians , grape haze , wat is called purps i think merc gdp from cali /bc . Last time I copped from a NYC service they had some nice sativa leaning chocolope , blue cheese was another I recall.

As mentioned above sativas are not commonly sold ,you best bet would be a haze or having a friend with good tastes willing to share his stash lol


I imagine you get the picture I might of got carried away But remember

What's common now is the same in most areas folk who aren't true headies hop on the latest crazy name n stamp it too whatever they get there hands on soo unless you know your shit like anything else u can get BSed . Find a reliable source a good connect is key ,if you have to take a shot just remember you got the $ spend it only if you wish .
