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
