Hempamasta Reviewed by Hempamasta on . NEW with questions Hey all, Great site and info. I am new to the world of marijuana and have a few questions. I just started smoking and have some generic old bud someone gave me. It doesn't taste very good...I see post about different flavors...mine tastes like, well, harsh, for want of a better word. I did a little reading and there appears to be a whole lot of stuff out there...I had no idea. The pictures on this site alone have blown my mind. The buds look like beautiful flowers...mine not so much. So: Rating: 5
