Yep, strains and other "terms" don't mix well.

Americans seem to classify weed by strength/quality and grow type. e.g. "Dro" = "Hydroponic" and "schwagg" = "Mexican imported weed (brickweed) or some other relatively low quality and cheap strain"

In the UK all weed is priced the same - its almost like we are pinko commies or something? So basically you pay about £120 ($240) for an ounce of high quality skunk. All the time.

So I think in the U.S if you can buy specific strains and you are willing to pay extra then that is great - I wish we could do more of that in the UK but unless you know a grower or are well connected then strains on demand just isn't as easy.

To answer the original question though - it depends on the type of weed you like. Read this page as it has examples of Hash and Weed plus pics and a write up :
