I do not pretend to know squat about growing, but I do know that we rarely had these reactions when we had good imported stuff from Columbia, Mexico, Jamaica, Panama, Thailand, Belize, etc. Even "skunk", from the U.S., wasn't causing many people to freak out or have other undesirable reactions.

I blame the commercial growers. They're largely a bunch of know-it-alls who need a lesson in greed-reduction and common sense. Many of them have probably never even tasted Colombian Gold and Red, or good Mexican.

My advice is to smoke VERY small amounts of anything you get, until you know what the stuff is capable of.
