This reminds me of a guy I was talking to on a train the other day who told me never to try White Widow because people put cocaine in it, hence the name Bwahahaha...what a stupid ass.
But then again this same guy (who thinks of himself as an experienced grower) also told me that you have to put a male and a female together to get good bud. He also mentioned that he wastes no part of the plant and smokes the stems and leaves of his plants (which may account for his sub par intelligence on cannabis growing).
ANYWAY...I've tried White Widow on a couple of occasions in Amsterdam and although the high is strong the taste is a little bland for me. The flavour is 60% of the enjoyment for me so I prefer more earthier strains to it. Hardest part is finding genuine white widow strains, so many companies are just keen to freely slap the name on any strong plant.
