Revival of the Ultimate Sativa Thread

Also the congo's borders have changed much in the last 40 years. What are now zaire (democratic republic of congo) strains may have been sold as congolese in the past.

Hello all newcomers. thanks for droppin by.

BRITISH HEMPIRE

yeah I know what you mean, potency really isn't where its at. its hard trying to get some of these new wavers to believe it though. A friend of mine calls me the new generation of the old school because I'm pretty young but I grow alot of old strains and hold onto old school values I suppose. And thats what it takes you know. I'm proud to carry oldschool beliefs into the new century.

It's like I always say. if you give someone two big jars of weed for free. one hashplant and one apple. almost everyone would run out of the apple first. and not because it was less potent I mean by the session most people would end up smoking the apple faster than the hashplant.

and thats because when its free, or you didn't work for it the stone is free of grower tilt predjudice. (people will get mad at a strain because of how well it yields, or lower trichs than other plants they have etc) its just two strains in a jar. and people would usually rather have something that makes them giggly and laugh and enjoy conversation with their friends than get totally wasted. IMHO the big potency craze and whatnot is part of this $20 gram buyer mentality. If your buying grams for $20 you don't want no apple. you want hashplant. you want bang for the buck. which is totally understandable.

What I don't understand is when people take that mentality into the growroom. now that your not paying for weed why grow the shit that isn't any fun? Unless your working a 150 and oversmoke your yield. But most of that indica weed is no good for me. take it to a party and people end up staring at their feet. all sleepy and loaded. no thanks. I'll take the giggles anyday. How potent does weed really need to be? do we have to smoke a bowl and be ready to crash?

long conversations (in particular with strangers) is part of new orleans culture. Big talkers and drinkers. I can't have my herb fucking that up its gotta help it. I like conversation weed.


Reminds me of what an old dealer I used to have would tell people. It was during that era that "indo" was starting to actually hit the street market. Just powerful sleepy BC indica in those days. back when kindbud lbs were red not green lol.

He didn't like this new bud, or the market. He said people were trying to turn weed into drugs and he didn't like it, didn't think it was good for people cuz it didn't get them high it got them loaded and sleepy, and he wasn't going to sell it. He was very oldschool. Never owned a pipe; he rolled everything he smoked. Rare to find he had quality control on his schwag. he wouldn't buy nasty lbs. only the good ones. Good schwag and midgrade was all he ever sold.

When people would come around and ask for "endo" he'd tell them: "Two blocks down and make a right, they got black tar heroin $10 dollar holla's. Your gonna have to go catch your NODS with them fools because we're getting HIGH on this corner"

and I know where he's coming from. we got weed that gets you HIGH and we got weed that gets you LOW. if your looking to get LOW you better stop and think on it for a while. are you actually trying to catch a weed buzz or maybe just substituting it for something else?
