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?
