What happened to the good smell of weed?

[fasterspider]

I goto the store to buy my meds and out of 25 or 30 different kinds of weed in their store, they only have one that smells good like marijuana is supposed to smell and the rest smells like friggin perfume.
Then these moronic youngsters that have no fucking clue what good weed smells like sit there and say things like "This is the best marijuana out there" I take a whiff and almost puke because it smells like shit.
I have been smoking marijuana since September of 1973 and know what weed is supposed to smell like, kind of like skunk piss. Even dirty Mexican shwag that you can buy on the street from idiotic gang bangers smells better than the shit they sell in the stores and it has seeds & stems all in it still making it more appealing than the so called good shit from the stores.

You youngsters have no clue, you have been deluded and then continue to delude yourselves.
Good marijuana smells like skunk piss, not Channel #5:mad:

[friendowl]

the regular stuff cuz i get stuck.i mean real stoned like when the tv looks far away

That's why I like the good mids around my area, the taste and smell are very earthy and piney, stuff that DOES in fact smell skunky, and that's why I stick with it for smoking and cooking. I don't really like sweet or fruity like the kind bud and headies, yeah, they're cool to smoke once in a while if someone's got it, and it'll get me pretty stoned, but I prefer my nice smelling mids.

im a youngn (definately not born in 73(still old enough to be on the site though) and i know where youre coming from. My favoruite thing to smoke is good jamaican sess, the stuff where the buds are pressd so hard that theres marks from where they had to cut it with a saw. its not like i havnt had amnazing weed too, i live in toronto, and ive sampled the medical breeds, and truly, good sess is my FAVE.

You prefer to have your bud severely handled, damaging the trichomes? You'll take brick weed over perfectly grown, perfectly handled, perfectly manicured buds? I can understand a preference in taste and smell, but man, how he weed is handled dictates how well the bud smokes just as much as genetics or environment. I'm just baffled.

[Frickr]

im a youngin too, but i much rather smoke the buds that when the bag gets opened up, its like a skunk just sprayed you in the face. i guess there is no despensories around here, the only bud i have smoked from one, blew me away. but that stuff had a medium smell to it, wasnt over powering, but just all in all a good smoke... sorry ::rant::

I couldn't agree with you more man.
I remember when i first started smoking, I would be excited to see the corner of my sack, where it was "freshly" ripped from the brick. That shits nasty, especially when you can get a crystally light green plarp of nuggets.
The way to go is mids though, its not as bad as shwag, and its not as expensive as nuggets:thumbsup:

[The Figment]

I've been smoking since Oct'74...

Coloumbian that smelled like a fresh cut hay feild...

Exhaling thru your nose on the green hit always had that back of the sinus Hashie/Pissy/Taste/Smell

And why are all buds GREEN?? Does'nt anyone "CURE" their weed anymore?? Pot used to be Red,Gold,Brown,Breen and so on. This may sound stupid,but in 1975 Green was "BAD"

It does not sound stupid, the green weed I remember from back then was lame ass homer that someone grew in their backyard. It tasted like shit and smelled even worse as it burned.
I remember smoking gold but the Mexican government in concert with our own twisted government put a stop to that weed with "paraquot" or how ever you spell it. What a waste of good weed.
No stems, no seeds, nothing you don't need
Acapulco Gold is some badass weed.
Now I only smoke what tastes good and smells better and only certain strains of kush is the only thing I can find with the right smell.

[Dutch Pimp]

I know what your talking about, fasterspider...and I do miss "that smell".

In my opinion, a nice green color means it was taken care of and was a happy plant...there are strains that have all sorts of pretty colors out there...you must've not been around when subcool was posting pics of his genetics..

I'm sure that buds are cured by people, if they aren't then they're obviously not very knowledgeable when it comes to marijuana..

[weedmaster]

the bud i useually get is very dark with the stink out your house skunk smell, but yesterday i was given some very light green bud imported from Amsterdam which had no smell and very little taste, it was ok, but i also like everyone else in this thread like to taste and smell what i'm smoking, it's all part of the whole smoking experience to me.

[Nochowderforyou]

My weed smells great. After a short cure it smells even better.

[scagster]

I don't know, I prefer a fruity smell. I've grown so acustomed to the skunk smell, if I want to smell that I'll go stick my face in a growing tip of a plant in veg. Nothing in my mind is the complex fruity odors that come from mature buds. Sure at first the taste will be skunky, but when I exhale, I long for either that smooth berry taste that lingers in my mouth, or the twangy citrus flavour that also seems to hang in the air after a hit.

Flavour and taste are very important, but if my weed has adequate trichomes, then it's perfectly fine by me.

[iTokethings]

i like it when you smell a bud..and you just want to eat it :D

ive had weed that has stunk out my room when smoked and not got me that high
i call this 'trick weed'
coz it tricks you :jointsmile:

[ManOHman]

Never thought the smell of skunk would make my mouth water.....until I found pot :thumbsup:

Good marijuana smells like skunk piss, not Channel #5:mad:

lol its all personal preference, i and the majority of the cannaseurs out there prefer all the new flavors and smells of bud. I am a fan of variety, and to have a single smell of marijuana would be imo very boring, and lackluster.

Please also, don't generalize. I am not going to lie, even though i am 19, i still consider myself part of your "youngster" category and i am offended that you are not only putting words into peoples mouths, but you are criticizing them for having an opinion that differs to that of your own? Did you not think that they like the exotic smells of todays marijuana because that is what they grew up on, just like you grew up on the skunky smells of your day? Also you imply that smell has to do with potency and quality of the high. When you say "good weed", you imply the smell directly relates to the quality of the high, which is, as we all know simply not true. Oh, and another thing, are we morons for not having have existed to try this "good weed" you refer to?

weed is weed. opinions are opinions. so next time please don't insult a vast group of people before either properly wording your argument/opinion, or just keep it to yourself.:thumbsup:

ps. also i find it quite amusing and ironic that you say youngsters have been deluded, and we are deluding ourselves... well it is IMO that that opinion is deluding people.

We been smoking about the same amount of time...I been saying for a long time that the kids don't have a clue what really good weed is all about. I say its about 1 hit rocking your world, 2 hits and your locked down, 3 hits and you hear colors.

You know the stuff I am talking about... has no real smell at all until you crack open a bud, then it smells like pine trees.

To *MOST* of the kids on here, real, Northern Californian, Humboldt County Sensimillia is only a myth.... but thats what I grew up on.

There are problably only a select handfull on here that even know that *REAL* Thai sticks have the buds literally tied on bamboo sticks, let alone have had the pleasure of smoking the real thing.

Think back to 1979 or 1980 when "Sea Weed" showed up... it was real thai weed... a lot of it was tied on sticks. There were over 100 boxes that came to shore, each box was 1 cubic meter. Most got picked up by the Coast Guard.:mad: but there were several boxes that didn't get confiscated. :D
......that stuff was outstanding.
:stoned:

To this day, I will only buy or grow stuff that takes one hit and I'm good for the night

[AllThatRemains]

but see spider, you grew up smoking weed that smelled like skunk piss, the new generation is growing up smoking the sweet, "perfume" smelling kind of weed. It's whatever makes you nostalgic for your first few tokes

[3rdEyeVision]

the pure strains smell just as strong and skunky as always imo.

[zeitgeist]

all weed smells good to me. Especially at the end of the week:jointsmile:

[Breukelen advocaat]

I've been saying for years that the best outdoor grown, often imported, weed was the most enjoyable. The above mentioned Thai sticks, and Columbian are perfect examples of fine marijuana. There are many, many more including types from Mexico, Panama, and other parts of the world that most people under 40 have not experienced. The word "strain" was not used.

Many of the overbred, artificially grown indoor varieties also seem to cause other problems, such as paranoia, depression and physical symptoms. Threads adressing these problems have become a regular feature on this website.

I wonder if the recent discussions on this board about marijuana "addiction" would even be taking place if these types of marijuana were not so popular.

These opinions do anger some of the growers that are producing the contemporary mj "strains", but the consumers have a right to be heard.

No,Weed was a whole different smoking experience "Back In the Day" Sativa was what one found,not these weird cross-breed strains that we have today...From Wikipedia...

"Panama Red, Panamanian Red,[1] or P.R.[2] is a cultivar of cannabis sativa, popular among cannabis afficiandos of the 1960s and 1970s, and renowned for its potency.[3][4][5] The typically high THC levels associated with the variety are thought to be dependent on the cultivar, rather than the Panamanian climate.[6][7] In a limited test, an Auburn University researcher reported that "seed of a sample of Panama Red, grown in the very different climates of the Canal Zone, campus and northern New Hampshire, yielded marijuana with similar THC content."[7] Its name comes from its cultivation in the country of Panama, and its claylike red color.[8] Production was common in Panama's sparsely-populated Pearl Islands.[9] It is known for causing a racy, paranoia-inducing, psychedelic high. Cannabis culture died off in Panama with the rise of cocaine trafficking.


As well as Columbia,Boliva,Peru and most of South America!

And this is why we can't find those GOOD South American Sativa Strains anymore!!!!

well for me I only take hits from my HG buds.:D

what I do is: First I let my children grow up and then blossom. then I cut down after 12 weeks. then dry and cure my children.

then I smoke my children. and they usually tast like a fruity sativa and get me wiped for hours.

short story: me on my own stuff:S5: my buddy can't :joint1: handel my stuff.
and he says that I have a good :greenthumb: and says I say the funnest sheet and we laugh for hours :S2: then we :eat:

I like the smell of me fruity marryjane.:jointsmile: :D

but this time I got a sativa and an indica to finish.
not just a sativa.
:D :thumbsup: :jointsmile:

[TheSmokingMonkey]

Ummmm yeah.

While I can appreciate skunk piss, and can see how Chanel #5 could be a caustic smell, I am a big fan of what I like to call "fruit salad" weed. :)

It's more about the high than the smell anyway; am I wrong?

[TheChameleon]

Put a fat gold bud on a roach clip light it and snort your brains out get head baked with your eyes so closed you cant see, resin in your nose is so thick you smell it the next morning kinda smell

[nonothinger]

I have actually smoked some quite mediocre weed and gotten more stoned then off some stuff that smells Better.

I think that now days people are to much into the analysis,smell and all the material stuff when weed is made to get you stoned and that's it.

:rastasmoke:

[SMOKIN A WHILE]

I remember when pot was all colors and green was usually home grown w/no buds . Pot had a wonderful range of odors and buds would stick to your fingers. Damn spider you got me thinking of red or gold they were beautiful to look at smell and smoke. Grade A on all accounts.

[silkyblue]

in the 70's.... a nickel bag was $5.00, a dime bag was $10.00, half o was $20.00, OZ was $50.00

and greeen was not good

now green is good


but in 1975 Green was "BAD"

[The Dude Of Life]

The fact is that in the nature of the cannabis plant, with so many different phenotypes, is to have many different smells. Ive had all kinds of bomb pot, some smelling like skunk, some smelling like cat piss, some smelling like gym socks, even some that smelled like lemons. Pot can have any smell and still be just as good as the shit with the skunky smell. Personally, i have smoked massive amounts of the reggie and the beaster and i get way higher smokin the dank shit that smells like chanel number 5. but what im smokin on now actually smells like skunk piss. so that works.

[Breukelen advocaat]

I'm one of them, lol! It's been well over 25 years since I've had any, though.

The primo Thai Stick weed had about 7 to 8 sticks per ounce, and it was pure heaven.

There were cheaper varieties of Thai, including small green sticks, and chocolate Thai that was loose (not on sticks).

BRING BACK THAI!!!!!

[GrowLight]

The Smelll is gone because of these machines they use to kill odor, if they are to close to the plants and grow room they will ruin the weed..

also all the old school growers are in Jail or running from the boys in blue..

[Purple Banana]

As I mentioned before, I LOVE sticking my head into a bag of decent mids, taking a big whiff, and just smelling that nice earthy aroma... Sweet smelling buds never did much for me, but skunky weed? MMM.

I live in the sticks, and I confess when I pass an area of road/field in which a skunk has sprayed/died, and I smell that skunky skunk smell, I breathe in :stoned:

[KushCrops]

What you're smelling is the nutrients and different products used to grow. You should be grateful you get to smoke professionally grown and cured buds though.

[Mississippi Steve]

plus the weed in the 70,s was bullshit to the weed today u cant compare

I dunno, I was getting hawiian, thai, sensimillia, and some rockin indica back then..... and that doesn't include what I was getting when I was overseas. Some of the domestic stuff was almost as good as what I am growing now. I still haven't found anything that compares to the stuff I got on Yap Island in 1979.

FWIW, back then, my buds were buying oz zips of colombian, or mexican for $25, and their whole stash would be gone in a week or less. I would buy a 1/4 of something decent, and still be gatting hammered at the end of the month.

I guess you have to be old enough to have been there.

[weedmaster]

Mmmmmm Thai sticks didn't see them very often but a lovely treat when they did turn up. compared to todays weed i wouldn't say it was better than the good bud today as i think tolerance levels are higher as the weed has gradually got stronger. 25 yrs ago i didn't have a pick of good quality weed like i do now it was mostly hash temple ball, double zero, paki black, gold seal and lebonese gold :D

[irydyum]

I think it may be worth mentioning that if you have been smoking for years, 20+, I think it's safe to say your personal tolerances are different than they were "back in the day". I sure wish I had been around for some of the old school landraces, but when I see pictures of them, they do look a little skitchy. Of course I didn't grow up on Acapulco Gold, so I can't give a personal opinion on experience, but by looks alone, I would definitely prefer todays smoke.

I'm not even going to attempt to figure out where that smell of weed went, I'm only 30 and I remember getting bags back in the day that smelled like weed. All the good stuff had that same weed smell, and I haven't had anything like it in years.

That being said, i think the "potency" vs decade argument is a purely subjective one to the individual. With so many combinations of cannabinoids, everyone has different experiences with different herb. Most of what I have read about potency suggests that today's weed is of higher potency, but with it's subjective nature, that doesn't necessarily equal a better experience for the individual.

[RedLocks]

I blame the internet..

[mojoke]

WHAT!? kidding right..chanel 5 sounds gross.. i like my nugs nice and green, and shiny with crystals get an oz of it lasts me 3 weeks. smoke that mexican shit i just end up with seeds that wont germinate and alot of stems.

[Breukelen advocaat]

plus the weed in the 70,s was bullshit to the weed today u cant compare
In the 70's, and early 80's, we could get ripped on a pin joint by ourselves, and a two-paper joint would blast-off a group of several.

Today, they roll huge things called "blunts", that have enough weed in them that if they contained good 70's weed it would last a person a week or more!

Bring back the great imports of the past and you'll have better highs, with less smoking.

[smello]

Yes,I dont understand.My oldest son&friends do it in blunts-ruins the taste but u do get WASTED

[wayoftheleaf]

faster, you may not recall me, but you have had the same avatar for years. Can't forget you lol.

I just bought some really good weed. I know EXACTLY what you mean about skunk piss. Animal piss in general though, imo. Once I walked into my house after my cat got done with a whole day of spraying the furniture, took my sister an hour of explanation before I stopped believing she had toked up without me.

[supergod]

Hi

I agree in general with the consensus view that most weed is not the smell I want. The smell I generally want I usually describe as swampy weird outdoors stuff (like my dad used to smoke).

Anyways, the pot club I belong to (CALM) had a strain they called Chocolate Thai listed as B and as a strong Sativa dominant blend. The nugs were fairly compressed. The first time I bought it it was completely full of seeds and stems. I took the time and separated the buds out and picked through the seeds so that I'd have something worth smoking. The buds were small, completely flattened and crumbled out very nicely in your fingers. A true cannaisseur friend of mine came over and told me right off the bat that what I had was just some nice land-strain from Jamaica.

Living in Toronto I had somehow managed to avoid this amazing strain until now. The taste is minty and the "chocolate" aspect would come from the slightly fermented flavour that I would describe as almost brandy like. Really strong flavour when smoked, not a super strong smell in the bag but definitely noticeable when you crack a bud.

Out of the 10 grams about 1 whole gram was seeds and what remained didn't last me very long so I went back to pick up another half oz. This time around very few seeds and the stems that are there are large, not small: the buds are also much larger: still flattened and compressed together of course but some nugs are almost a gram, which I view as good for this type of weed.

The other day I ended up at a Jamaican friends house. He had told me once when I offered him a hit from a joint I'd rolled that he only smoked hash, not weed. Well, found out that was just a nice way of saying he only smokes good Jamaican sess (and busts out the hash to impress at the pot cafe). He showed me the tiny "brick" of sess he had, which looked very much like a more compressed version of the weed I had. It also smelled very similar but much stronger in the bag. Both weeds had the same effect :rastasmoke:

Long lasting high, perfect for music or concerts, total relief of back/nerve pain in my entire body. Grooving. I used to work out stoned all the time but couldn't with my back pain: this is the only strain that works for me now. This is two bowl weed for me (from the vape) but more than that will have me melt into my bed if I so choose.

Wish there was a way to post a webcam pic here.

edit: thought I should specify that the oz I picked up (as well as my friends) was $170 which is what I used to pay for ozs bout five years ago (for white rhino or white widow) or $6 a gram, which is what it used to cost at the BC compassion club :)

Yes,I dont understand.My oldest son&friends do it in blunts-ruins the taste but u do get WASTED

Ah yes. I live in Atlanta, HUGE blunt city. Everyone here smokes them.

I hate the little blunt papers with gummy strips. Those are for n00bs and taste bad.



But on topic. Here is my philosophy. I don't care how it smells, or what the name is, or if it indoor/outdoor, sativa/indica, whatever. So long as it gets me baked.

As far as the mids discussion that took place shortly up there. I wouldn't say I PREFER mids, they don't bug me too much. I use a vape 95% of the time, so mids will be better in those. Right now I have some mids packed in my vape. I'm not even down with the bowl and I'm ripped.

Mission successful. :thumbsup:

Mannn, this is a great topic and I always think about this.. almost everyday. As a student of cannabis and a grower of just a few years I try to learn the history behind what I'm doing. I personally believe that the strains cultivated and grown in the native climates of Hawaii, Columbia, Jamaica, etc blow these "medicinal" strains that we have today out of the water. I was born in 1987 so I never experience the 60's/70's strains but I just dont see how overbred, indoor grown nugs can beat a Sativa grown and bred for YEARS in a tropical or subtropical climate. You cant convince me of that. I've smoked just about all the major strains coming out of the California scene and I rate them a C+/B-. Sure the buds are more potent and have higher THC levels but the QUALITY of the high is shit. Who the fuck wants that couchlock, tired, sluggish feeling that you get from most of those buds. I've only had a few buds that gave me that psychedelic, smooth, trippy high that I appreciate and love. I think these funny modern growers need to stop crossbreeding everything they get their hands on, stop worrying about NPK values, and lumens per square ft and take some original strains and experiment with recreating the environment that these strains come from. This new stuff gets you pretty high and I've had stuff that one gram in your pocket will literally leave a trail of the smell wherever you go.. but the quality of the high.. meaning whether it's trippy, dull, or an energetic high.. the quality isn't that great.

[MDFinest]

I want earthy buds, with a smooth, natural, even fruity taste. The stuff I get my hands on now rarely has a distinct taste or smell and if it does its not natural or earthy.

I think anyone that started smoking after the 90's has gotten severely cheated out of some good nugs unless they just know a great cultivator. When I lived in GA and started smoking in 2000 we were getting some great stuff that was either grown in GA or FLA or some of it could've come from anywhere, but I remember getting golden brown nugs that were so sticky 8 little nugs stuck together in one big ball to make the 8th, or nugs that were completely white with a green tint behind it, and lime green nugs with a ring of orange hairs around it.

Nowadays all I get is this so called medicinal bud that you cant notice any nuances or subtleties between one bud to the next. Sure it gets you high in two or so hits but the highs are usually dull in quality and lack that psychedelic feel. I've had my golden years of cannabis consumption and it just makes me wonder how much better bud from the 60's 70's and 80's could've been. I think it's better to have variety of buds grown all over the world in different climates, different latitudes and under different controls & then shipped in of course in the right conditions and not poorly handled. I dont want to smoke all this indoor bud thats been crossbred 50 times. sorry just had to rant real quick!!!

Those buds may very well have had Chanel 5 on them.

My friends went to Harborside in Oakland and bought some weed. It is like a weed super store. They got a few different types and tried them out. One of the nuggets smelled like perfume and they actually went back and complained. It turned out that one of the employees in the back room who was making the eights had put on some perfume and while at work and actually got the smell on the buds. They actually gave a replacement eigth and took the bad one back then made a rule of no perfume in the weighing room.

I had some of the sea thai sticks described above. I took some to U of Washington for a party and wiped out every one in the room. A guy saw the large thai sticks in my tray and said I could knock out everyone in the room with the weed in my tray.

I have noticed that indoor weed seems to have a better smell but that outdoor weed is better overall. Sour Diesel, Chem Dawg, Cheese, Purple Kush, Afghan Goo and Pineapple Kush will all hold their flavor long after harvest when grown outdoors.

I goto the store to buy my meds and out of 25 or 30 different kinds of weed in their store, they only have one that smells good like marijuana is supposed to smell and the rest smells like friggin perfume.
Then these moronic youngsters that have no fucking clue what good weed smells like sit there and say things like "This is the best marijuana out there" I take a whiff and almost puke because it smells like shit.
I have been smoking marijuana since September of 1973 and know what weed is supposed to smell like, kind of like skunk piss. Even dirty Mexican shwag that you can buy on the street from idiotic gang bangers smells better than the shit they sell in the stores and it has seeds & stems all in it still making it more appealing than the so called good shit from the stores.
Where did all the good weed go?
You youngsters have no clue, you have been deluded and then continue to delude yourselves.
Good marijuana smells like skunk piss, not Channel #5:mad:


Us young people arent deluding ourselves. In fact our marijuana now is better than any " fire " you had in your day. Alot of modern strains are ballin, some of the best chronic in the history of the world is being produced today.

[Bucky420]

You pay 120.00 for Schwag? or Good bud called "Schwag"? I get a qp or strawberry diesel for a buck straight.
i get a qp of some dense light green no seed "schwag" for 120.00 sometimes 130.00
when i sometimes get spoiled and buy "kush" or whatever i find myself getting
way more stoned smoking my regular shit.i cant take more than 3 fat bong rips of
the regular stuff cuz i get stuck.i mean real stoned like when the tv looks far away
and you get sick munchies and then laugh your ass to sleep

kush i can smoke all night long and i wont get to that level
it just tastes good and looks nice

Think back to 1979 or 1980 when "Sea Weed" showed up... it was real thai weed... a lot of it was tied on sticks. There were over 100 boxes that came to shore, each box was 1 cubic meter. Most got picked up by the Coast Guard. but there were several boxes that didn't get confiscated.
......that stuff was outstanding.


To this day, I will only buy or grow stuff that takes one hit and I'm good for the night >>>>

Holy shit! I remember this, there were people on the beach with stuffing hefty bags full of weed and hauling it off, news crews showed up and scared people off. They figured the coast guard may have been following a boat so they ditched their cargo but I absolutely remember this.

Real thai stick seems to be a thing of the past. I've had it a few times, the first time I thought I got ripped off, got an 8th for $25 and it was the size of my big toe, I was like WTF is this shit? Well it was tight as fuck and blew your mind when you smoked it. CHOCOLATE thai was even better and even harder to find.

I remember right before CAMP started news crews were parked out up in Mendocino and were filming growers pulling their harvest down from the hills, this is what got CAMP started and within a few years the prices doubled.

The old fashioned skunk bud, the stuff you could smell sealed in a ziploc bag from your pocket doesn't seem to exist anymore however I believe it's all in the curing. If you let the bud stay just a little more moist before you seal it then this might help bring that smell out however when you buy it you're paying for water weight. I remember that really stinky and sticky bud you couldn't even smoke in a joint but that was because it wasn't actually done curing. If you remember, when you bought a big bag of it and as it dried out the smell wasn't nearly as strong. IMO we were paying for water.

My friend's dad started smoking in the mid 70's, and since he is a hardcore cannasoir like me, i can only assume he tried some of the best shit that was available in the States at that time. I burn with him nowadays, and he constantly tells me how amazing the stuff i get is, even calls it "super weed" lol. He never actually said that its better or worse than the 70's shit, but every study i've read says that U.S. pot has like quadrupled in potency in the last 20-30 years.

But anyways, the shit i get is always smellin different, sometimes fruity, sometimes skunky, sometimes piney, sometimes even a little minty. I like the variety, but my favorite smell is definitely this shit that my friend calls mango kush, its like skunky and fruity at the same time and makes you cough your dick off and be gigglin after one hit.

However, I wouldn't go as far as to say that smell directly correlates with potency, because my friend has some shit right now that LOOKS amazing, and gets everyone who smokes it high as fuck, but smells like fuckin dryer sheets and tastes like... well, nothing. Even though it's potent as fuck and gets the job done, i'd prefer to smoke some mango kush for sure. To me, taste and smell are secondary to potency, but still very important to me. i love me some good as shit like that one guy was talkin about where the nugs are sparkly like theyre covered in tiny diamonds and they smell so good you just wanna pop one in your mouth.

I wish i couldve seen the 60's/70's for a shit ton of reasons, but i got absolutely no problem with this "youngster" weed.
