Some pics of some of the strains during the cup

[JackHerer]

Disclaimer: I have neuro issue's which means my photographic skills are pretty dismal.

The first here is the Alaskan Ice fom the 420 coffeshop. Nice tasty smoke this, lovely sativa flavours & slender long buds in the jar they had of it. Nice high also very mood pleasing although although the effect seemed cerebral & didn't do much for the nerve pain in the body.

[JackHerer]

This ones the Brainstorm Haze from Delta 9 seeds & De Rokerij coffeeshop. Again sativa dominant flavours & buds. Defnitely one of the faves this ones a creeper. As my son described it by the time you have rolled the third spliff you realise you shouldn't have smoked the second one.

[JackHerer]

First two are the Crimea Blue from Barneys & the last two the G13 Haze.

The CB I got because while standing in the queue at Barneys I got handed this vapouiser bag of it. hey way they held it meant I got a really heavy hit of it through my nose. The smell of it was just like standing over a fresh blueberry pie coling on the windowsill. The taste wasn't quite so fruity but just as nice in a spliff, but really this was an advert for vapourising over smoking & not a negative of the bud.

The G13 Haze I wasn't so impresed by. Seems everybody was into some kind of Haze cross & this one just seemed sour to me. I described it at the time by the analogy as a parent with young children have you ever come home from a night out wondering what was the smell your noticing only to find the baby has been sick down your back.

Thing is it won LOL amazing what a freebie goody bag can do.

[JackHerer]

The first two are the Rookies 11 from Rookies coffeeshop. The last three are the Resin Haze from you guessed it Resin coffeeshop. Both were very nice smoke mellow haze flavour that would be 1000% better than any commercial weed here, but just nothing to write home about.

[JackHerer]

This was a great little inclusion in the judges bag & I managed to score an extra tabard on the way to voting IMHO the 10 freebie seeds from that repays the value of the judges pass as it would cost me £70.

IMHO & my sons this was the haze flavour that all the others were trying to chase. Great uplifting high from it but again with the sativa high it didn't do much for the nerves.

Well here is about where I got to wasted, bored to come in each night late & then sit to take the pics. Also I got a bit of hash that took care of the sore neuro system & promoted a good sleep. More on the Hajish another day.

I can't even begin to describe how much I envy you right now! :stoned:

My wife and I have been planning a trip to Amsterdam since our honeymoon. Seeing those pictures just adds to the temptation to get off our asses, board a plane, and just go! I'll be looking for Brainstorm Haze, and will make sure to steer away from the G13. Your description of it was pretty vile.

Enjoy that stash...if there's any of it left! :jointsmile:

[JackHerer]

Thanks for the comments Mr C. Its worth the trip for you & your wife. Its not just so much that you can walk past a copper with a lanard of weed hanging round your neck its that you can walk in a shop & say I want a bit of that, that & that. So much better than the regular commercial cr*p world of here what I have take it or leave it.

Unfortunately that stash is well smoked, bit dodgy for me to cross borders even in the EU carrying. I will be going back over within the next few weeks, but I might also do the high life cup i spain this year & the Seattle Hemp Fest as its getting very good reviews.

dood, dreams do come true....

man, i'd like to enjoy true freedom....


:thumbsup:sweet post

edit- that's the shit, congrats

[Mr. Clandestine]

Its not just so much that you can walk past a copper with a lanard of weed hanging round your neck its that you can walk in a shop & say I want a bit of that, that & that.

I grew out of the recklessly irresponsible stoner behavior a long time ago, I'm a much more mature stoner now. I'll just brag about it to the coppers when I get back home! :jointsmile:

Great post, and I hope you'll update this thread during your trip to Spain and possibly Seattle.

[JackHerer]

LOL Mr C

When I walked passed the copper on Haarlemmer Straat I fought the urge to rush back & shake his hand in case I jailed for the cheek of it.

I'll add the Hash later today & I'll keep the thread bookmarked so I can use it to update from my canna tourism.

EDIT: (Excellent idea about Seattle can't rep you at the mo but will keep you updated)

[JackHerer]

Meant to add this yesterday, but got otherwise busy so here goes with the hasjish pics I have.

This lot are Nederhash or Bubble/Icelator's.

The first three pics are of Greenhouse Seeds Bubblemania. There is 0.2 gram's which is the maximum they claim on the board packing anyone has smoked. Personall a small bit of it went in my pipe three nights in a row which did the trick fine & even had a bit left to leave for a friend.

The last two are Violator Iceolator from Barneys. Another iceolator hash made from their Violator Kush. This one needed just the same small amount in the pipe which left a nice body feeling fine effect to the point of where I walked a bit much for the dodgy veins etc.. Liked it so much I got the seeds & thats why its very annoying that none of them germinated.

[JackHerer]

These are the import hash's the first two pics being Greenhouse Seeds King Hassan Supreme. The last three are the Resin Coffeeshops Sahara Fudge. If any o you like me enjoy the nice sweet taste & smell of a good bit of hash along with the eye glazed nothing could care feeling then both of these adequately provided this stoned bliss.

Looking at the Sahara Fudge even resembles a sliver of fudge brownie.

[JackHerer]

The TripleX was Barney's import offering. A nice enough piece of hash , but I don't think it should have won never mind beat the previous two. The two hash types I ended up voting for were Maleka Halua (? spelling) from De Rokerij & the Nepal Black from Bluebird wich was so soft I couldn't get it out the bag and a friendly coffeeshop manageress showed me a trick to roll supersoft hash.

Well thats the pics for now had plenty other strains but next time I'll try to get pics of more of them.

[ZiG]

more great pics, sweet eye candy

yummy tasty hash:thumbsup:

thanks for the info


edit-- its a shame those violater seeds didn't germ, that's sounds/looks like great hash.

[JackHerer]

Cheers Zig

Yes very disapointing over the VK if you see the pics of it in their menu it totaly drips in trichs plus I wanted to try a Kush. Think I'll split the risk next time get Hashberry & Kalichakra from Mandala along with either a nice colourful strain like a purple or a heavy resinous Kush. That should give me a couple of good hash makers although the existing skunks we have are heavy producers of trichs on the leaves & stalks.

[Shovelhandle]

wonderful account of the Cup, Jack! Fun reading (and looking at pictures)

Shov

[dylan]

I agree with Shov!

I love reading descriptions of bud......and of course looking at the pictures! I just would like to follow that up with a puff of them. Oh well, I got some of my own to smoke that's not half bad.

Peace

[JackHerer]

Thanks for stopping by Shov & Dylan

Already started checking into sorting out a trip to the Seattle Hempfest this year so hopefully will keep updating.

Your a bit luckier than me at the moment Dylan. I can enjoy the memories of the buds & hash but at the moment I'm out of stash. I guess two ounce a week isn't enough to budget for. About another week & I'll get something but I tried some local hash over the last week which was the usual ketamine in wax formula so I would rather do without.

Nice to chat with you Mr. Herer, I was wondering for the US, are there any good event coming up this year? Also love your book, I would like to meet with you some time, Ive been growing hard and fightin the MAN. We have a local access TV program down here in ABQ, NM called Hemp TV, Tuesday nights and 7. Were trying our hardest to follow in your foot steps but not getting alot of feedback from our area. We seek your guidance! Thanks for all the great pics and info, compassionate grower Ollie.

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not the author Jack Herer. This username was chosen as a homage to the Sensi Seeds cannabis strain called Jack Herer. Had I known how much the author actually influences the counter culture in the US at the time I signed up to this site I would have chosen a different name to avoid this confusion.

[olliegrow]

aaawwwhh damn, oh well I though it was odd that he was on this site..lol..sorry

[JackHerer]

No worries olliegrow you never know he may be floating around somewhere under an assumed name, but I doubt he would post using his real details anywhere. Best chance for you to meet him is check things like the Seattle Hempfest as he does show up at counter culture events.

Keep growing tho you don't need any celebrity to validate any work you have done for the cause of ending prohibition.

[olliegrow]

Thanks. Weve had a hella of a time down here in New Mexico, getting everyting started up for our medicinal program. No support and no organization down here?? We have the medi cards available but no were to get the meds, you still have to risk your safety and buy off the streets!!! This is crazy!!
