"HELP me understand the new "Weed Scene".

[latewood]

Howdy Folks,
First post on this really homey,and very informed Forum,feel as though I had come through time,like 50 years ago.I see all these references to weed.I mean I know Columbian Gold,Panama Red,Dirt Weed and Homegrown(spongey,bright green stuff),but this"Purple haze H-2 strain 1 from H2O seeds"and all this other stuff is like Greek to me.I been tokin for 35 years,just took about 8-10 years off(drug tests,home and job pressures,finances,Get It?)Came back to the Bud 5-6 weeks ago and have been very lucky ,so far,to hook up with a good source,but after seein this Forum,I feel like I don't know S___!
Does anyone have a "POT 101 for year 2005" reference or site?Thank you.

Welcome back Jack...another way I learn about strains is to go around the seedbanks...the better ones will have history of breeding, similar to dog pedigree...hope this helps
