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"

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..

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.

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

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.

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:

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

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:

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

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
