Mexican commercial weed is generally what you would call schwag. The average schwag in my area is compressed.

The potency here varies greatly, but generally it's surprisingly strong, and worth the money if you don't mind rolling. I hate packing bowls with it as it's pretty hard, doesn't taste good, and there's no fluffiness to it.

As for the type of high it gives you, isn't it obvious this can also vary? Mexican weed in the states is bound to have a variety of different strains depending on what seeds were planted. Most schwag, though, tends to be an indica as it's easier to grow.

All in all, with the difference between schwag and quality weed, I'd say schwag is worth the occasional smoke. I have no qualms with it. It definitely goes around more with its price.
