Does this bud look healthy? (effects description included)

[Dalfir]

Hey there, first post!

I got a 1/2oz bag of my usual Swazi Gold (sativa) from the same dealer I normally do.

I've only been smoking for about a month and has only smoked this strain, so I have no basis of comparison. This is a very common strain here in South Africa, it's considered average because it's naturally grown just across the border and goes for about the price of a six-pack for a bag.

This batch seems a bit weird though, there's a faint brownish tint to some of the buds and it feels quite dry, although it is sticky when he mulls it between his fingers. It has a strong pine-needleish smell.

Smoking one bong yesterday gave me some harsh smoke and a nuttyish aftertaste, but quite a warm, vibrating high.

Is the look any cause for concern?

Effects -

I have seen this strain on the menu of some Amsterdam Coffee-Shop pictures.

Anyway, I'm interested if the high I get (off this batch and others) is good, or characterstic of low-quality weed, seeing as I have no basis for comparison.

- Warm waves, mainly from shoulders upwards.

- Slight vibrations in the head.

- Rolling, weird and almost random thought patterns. It's like my mind will unpredictably pick a thread and follow it, generating lots of amusing thoughts and vivid mental images. I can look at something, and perceive it differently, such as maybe walking past a person and instantly creating a whole life history for them. Or seeing someone doing something and feeling that I know for sure why they're doing it, and what they're doing, even if I'm totally wrong.

- Sometimes laughing so hard at mildy funny things, my sides ache.

- Deeper appreciation for flavour, noticing layers in taste.

- Deeper appreciation for music and much more observant of sounds not previously noticed in a song.

- More vivid colours.

However, the problem me and my friends who smoke this weed experience is that it always makes us really tired, I can lie on a bed and be out in a few minutes till the next morning.

Does this sound like good or bad weed? Should I start looking for better?

Is this batch, at the very least, a bad grow?

How much did it cost? I'm just really jealous is all.

[Dalfir]

It cost 80 rand, which I believe is about $10 or 5 pounds or so.

I might be jumping to conclusions, but you sound like a cop. . . .:wtf:

£5 for a half ounce. Lucky bastard .

Just smoked a bong an hour ago. Thoughts were muddled and random, but not severely (I didn't smoke a lot). Body was definitely tingling, like the feeling you get in your stomach going down a rollercoaster. A certain fuzziness in the head. But not really those vivid thoughts I love so much. However, I were lying on my bed listening to an MP3 meant to induce a catnap. My eyes were closed and after a few minutes as I began slipping into a half dream state, I had absolutely vivid closed eye visuals. I didn't even remember my eyes were closed but I was looking at a fully formed, fully coloured fish tank, complete with little fish swimmming around behind my eyelids.

So...Good stuff I guess Just wish there was more of those weird thought patterns, but I guess if I smoked more there would be.

If the weed were worthless - as in terrible - would it give me any effect at all? Or is the fact that I'm feeling the above testament to it being functional?

Lol, thanks for making my day.

Have you had Swazi before? Is it just mid-grade stuff?

Ya think I should splurge on some chronic some time or should I just stick with that's working?

[nightlight]

Splurge once in a while.

[AustinMan]

For $10 I'd take a 1/2oz bag of dog shit covered pot if it got me high.. You got nothing to complain about for that price.

Around here its about $75 for mid's. :jointsmile:

[Dalfir]

For the same amount?

Drugs seem to be cheap here...

gram of cocaine - R300 which is about $37

LSD tab (most I've gotten on a tab is 120ug) - R100 is about $12

LSD liquid (most I've gotten in a drop is 140ug) at R80/$10
