What I'm talking about is that age old curse many of us who just grow our own experience of no matter how much we grow we always seem to run out of stash before our next crop comes in. Some how many of us seem to find ourselves running short whether we have a bumper crop or not. Such that we find ourselves scrambling for a way to scratch that itch the last few weeks before harvest and we find ourselves doing things we'd never do when our jars are full. Like for example one year I had a real nice crop of C-99 such that I was able to smoke 3 to 5 joints a day, virtually every day thru the summer until I started and finish my fall crop. I got into a habit of taking every roach from all those joints and saving them in these little 10 ounce jars I have. By the time I ran out I had three jars full of roaches. As the collection grew I'd look at them and think of how gross and nasty they looked and when I opened a jar to add the next roach the odor got pretty rank. At that moment it would seem unlikely I'd ever bring myself to smoking them yet in the back of my mind I was saving them for the possibility I'd run out because I knew there was enough still in them to get me good and buzzed. Well sure enough I ran out and that year my low was that I smoked all three jars of nasty roaches waiting for my next crop to finish and dry.
Well this year I'm in the same boat, except this time, thinking it might stretch things further, I smoked the roaches as I went along. Saving them for a few days and then maybe one day when I didn't feel like roalling a new joint I'd just smoke a few roaches. Alas I still ran out early and this time I don't even have a stash of roaches to fall back on. What I do have though is a batch of trim from some Cheese that although was fairly frosty, didn't yield much in the way of dry sifted hash. I think what happened was that I didn't wait as long as I usually do before sifting and I usually would freeze it first but didn't this time. So I think I ended up just smearing most of the trichomes onto the leaves. Which is supported by the fact that the leaves still have a nice strong scent of cheese rather then being like a pile of leaves with little smell because most of the resin has been sifted off. Now you got to understand I really don't like the taste of leaves. So much so I trim my buds much closer then the average person. So when I smelled how strong the trim still smelled I thought at first about making Iso and it should be pretty good but if I did that it wouldn't last very long. I though also of making butter but again it wouldn't go very far that way plus I'm not a big fan of the high you get when you ingest cannabis. So I said what the heck, I'll just fill my bowl with the trim and smoke that.
Well of course it's extremely nasty and harsh and I'm not enjoying the flavor of it at all but it is getting me really stoned on just a couple of small bowls. So I'm not really ashamed of the fact that I'm smoking it because some high is better then no high but yet at the same time I think I've sunk to a new low especially when I consider how much effort I but into seperating that leaf from my bud. Of course after smoking a few bowls earlier I got to thinking about all this and thought it might be interesting to see what other sorts of lows my fellow stoners sink to when their stash runs out?
