Silver Haze

The coolest thing I'd have to say about Cannabis is that if you are having a really, really, really, REALLY shitty day....it's always there to cheer you up. Like good ol' Willy Nelson said "...stress is the the number one killer in America, and Marijuana is the number one stress killer." Well, I don't know if it was THAT EXACT line, but it was pretty damn close. When you take a few puffs, eat a few foods, or vape a couple of nuggets your worries are pulled from your shoulders, your lungs open up to let more air in, and the oxygen you receive in the brain melt away any worries. I was lucky enough to score some of this Silver Haze, and it definitely was hazy.

This strain was the first prize winner at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1997, also winning in 1998 and 1999. It definitely is a superb plant that could bring a massive amount of joy to the masses. These plants do not expect huge yields, but the top quality of the herb is well worth the effort to grow. If you can, make sure you have the day open if you smoke this in the morning because it will leave you laying on the hardwood floor wondering about the sunlight soaking through the window. It's definitely an intoxicating feeling.



Before I put a flame to it, I could tell the buds were huge, and super fluffy like they were cotton balls. It broke apart VERY well. It was kind of resiny as to leave a stickyness on my fingers after I pulled it apart. It didn't really break down. I just rolled it into tiny balls as I packed it inside the bubbler. When I broke it down the smell was very pungent, and very strong. It smells close to a skunky mixed with Sour Diesel sweet blend, but leaning more towards the sweeter side. My bud was dense, well dried, and smoked so cleanly that I could barely notice I smoked anything until I couldn't stop coughing to catch my breath.

The bowls burn almost perfectly. At times I thought maybe a little even too slow! Yeah I know, go ahead and smack me!! Each hit is massively fat. It was very choking, but such a sweet one it was! It definitely would wrinkle your face after you exhaled a nice, long, deep bong hit. This is for sure was one of the dankest buds I've come across yet.

It's really no surprise why this weed has won all the awards it has won. Don't be surprised the high comes up and very creepily creeps onto you. After the first bowl you may well be inclined to smoke a second bowl, and on your way to pack the second you will forget what it was that you were doing. The high was extremely relaxing, and almost like a trance state of mind. It wrapped around in my school like a luke-warm blanket, stuck on by a lot of Ace bandage.

If I were you, go to your local dispensary (or maybe the living room of that old guy growing it) and pick a ziplock of this up!!!

One step closer.

Tom Amiano is on the left.

On Jan 12th, history was made. It was the first time in U.S. history that a bill to tax and regulate Marijuana has ever made it to a state legislative committee, and it passed with the majority of the vote! California has a reputation for leading the nation in bold policy changes, and we've only seen the beginning of Marijuana policy reform there. Will the war get any closer to ending?


Members of the California State Assembly's Public Health committee approved a bill that would remove Marijuana from the state's criminal and civil codes, and effectively legalize Marijuana for adults over 21...I fall into this category!

Tom Ammiano, a Democrat from San Francisco, wrote the bill AB 390. The bill was not heard by the other committee, Public Safety, but the fact that is has passed and approved by a committee at all is a win!

“While actually passing a bill to tax and regulate marijuana may be a heavy lift in any state legislature right now, members of the Assembly today reflected the sentiment of a majority of Californians,” Stephen Gutwillig said. “Voters will get a chance to decide if California should tax and regulate marijuana at the ballot box in November."

Tax Cannabis 2010 has qualified for the California mid-term election in November. It will let the electorate decide what state legislators may be reluctant to. Since medical Marijuana las have passed at the hands of the voters rather then politicians the experts believe the California ballot initiative is the best chance for Marijuana legalization in California.
We still have a long way to go. The hill doesn't look like it's going to be going downward anytime soon, but the support is slowly causing rise to awareness. I'll keep my bags halfway packed I think.....

Grapefruit Kush

A co-worker at my wife's job sent home with her a nice nugget of some weed I've never heard of. It smells just like what the name implies...grapefruit. I've heard of cross breeds with this strain, so I was superly stoked to find out we had an example of this to try!

At first glance, you can see this weed is going to fuck you up. The orange, burnt brown, mixed with some red hairs covered the plant, and at some parts were over bearing the lime green leaf. There were so many white trichomes that I thought the bud was dipped in the sugar jar. Weed coffee anyone?!

The smell from this bud was just simply amazing. When I put it up my nostril I had the vision that it was an ACTUAL grapefruit. This stuff smelt like a fruit, wrapped up in a christmas tree, covered in pine needles with the juice of a grapefruit lingering in the background. When I broke it down for the bubbler it just looked like tinier buds. I didn't even really break up. After two hits of the bubbler, and I was lit. I just had two hits again, and I'm lit now. The after taste is just like a grapefruit...

The high is very head driven, and I can definitely feel it behind my eyes. It makes me feel very sleepy. I keep yawning. I can't feel the cold floor under my feet. This definitely pulled through. I wish I could grow this personally. It looked good, and smelt even better.

I'M SORRY!!

Sorry!!! I'm sorry I haven't updated the blog in over a month!! I suck, I know! I've been so caught up in school during the weeks, and on the weekends I'm stuck in real life. I just can't get to a computer, and just chill. But....I am coming back! I will have a new post soon!

White Widow

This strain is very special to me, and yet I've never smoked it a day in my life. I stare, ever so softly, into the forward-bending light of a High Times magazine (or a Cannabis Culture) page that is displaying the naked beauty that is of White Widow. All of her beauty was too much for me to handle. I've never touched her, but I sure was in love.

I must of come from Holland. In Holland, White Widow is considered as one of the most rewarding varities. White Widow has won multiple Cannabis Cups and other different events holding competitions against some of the best herb you can find in any yard, pot, or basement. Coffee shops in Amsterdam are literally littered with this strain, and most of the time they are on the top of the menu. They have seeds and clones available for purchase, so you can maintain a family for yourself! In London an eighth of an ounce is going for twenty to twenty five bucks. WTF!! Compassion and Care clinic in California carry the Widow at $350 an onion. Daaanngggg.

The taste of this lovely gal is laced with many fruits, but with all of the snow white thrichomes it has a very expectorant effect. You'll be coughing up all the pollution you inhaled on your way home from work, while you were stuck on the interstate giving the middle finger to every asshole you pass. The visual of this plant is a lot like seeing a plant growing during the window season softly covered in snow. Being from the south I've seen snow once in my life, and it was about a sixty-fourth of an inch. The smell has been experienced as a somewhat pungent smell. The smell lingers and has been described as very sweet. The freshness of this plant is what really brings White Widow growers to it. The plant sticks to everything like glue. The initial union of this superb variety was birthed from an Indian and Brazilian strain. It is indicated that the combination ratio is 40:60, Indica and Sativa respectively.

After the first puff that ever so tingling feeling of impending stonedness comes over you. You feel it just underneath your eyes and it seeps to throughout the body. It is a very serious, heavy high.

So, if you have a house full of stinky ass animals, just leave out one of these buds on the coffee table and your house will wreck of some of the best smelling, beautiful buds with reddish orange hairs you will ever smell. This strain is one I'd like to personally grow.

California Lawmakers Debate Marijuana Legalization Yesterday

State financial experts testified Wednesday that imposing taxes and regulations could bring in hundreds of millions to more than a billion dollars to state coffers, but several law enforcement officials worded concern to the Assembly Public Safety Committee that the legalization of marijuana under state law would more then likely lead to an increase in violence......(uhm, yeah okay...)

AB390 would allow the possession, sale, and cultivation of marijuana for people twenty one years and older. The bill was introduced by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Fran), who said the state would wait for the repeal of the decades-old federal ban on marijuana to have system and impose a $50 ounce sales tax on marijuana, much like taxes on tobacco and alcohol that are already legal.

Several ballot measures to legalize adult recreational marijuana use have circulated in California, and recent polls show big support amongst a majority of state voters. The govna has endorsed a public debate, but personally opposes it.

"We feel this issue in many ways in the past has been somewhat trivialized, but we're sensing...there's a gravitas to this issue that probably it is going to be inevitable that there is some change in the way marijuana is viewed legally," Ammiano said at a news conference before the hearing.

The legal experts also testified that nothing in the U.S. Constitution prohibited California from removing state penalties for marijuana use and predicted a low doing that would not be shot down by the U.S. Supreme Court. Tamar Todd, a staff attorney for the Drug Policy Alliance Network says "If California decides to legalize, nothing in the Constitution stands in its way."

Marty Mayer, attorney for the California Peace Officers Association, said he agreed with that assessment, but noting that removing state penalties would not alter any federal laws. Although the possession, sale, and harvesting of marijuana is illegal under federal law U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said last week that federal authorities would refrain from arresting or prosecuting people who are in compliance with their state's medical marijuana laws.

The State Board of Equalization estimated it would bring in $1 to $1.4 billion, while the Legislative Analyst's Office said it would only bring in a few hundred million dollars annually... (Yeah, knowing California it would probably be like 2 billion.)

Many in the state attorney generals office believe we may experience a spike in violence, and would e power Mexican cartels and drug trafficking operations in the state.

More policy hearings on the issue will like occur after Legislature reconvenes in December.

The first strain, G-13!

From all of my research on the Cannabis plant, I've learned one thing about every plant, and no it's not how great it is. The origin of some plants just can't be traced back, and if they can there are three different stories. Each one is claiming to be the right one. So, for my encounters I try to report which one is more spoken, and of course seems the most common. But hey, I'm floating on a rock in a vacuum. What's so common about that?

This was a strain that completely and utterly knocked me on my elbows. I could feel the spaghetti that is of my brain. This particular strain was featured in the film "American Beauty". In the film, a young dealer (played by Wes Bentley) hands what looks to be about an eighth ounce, or 3.5 grams some would hope, to Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) and says "This shit is top of the line. It's called G-13. It's genetically engineered by the U.S. Government. It's extremely potent, but a completely mellow high. No paranoia." He purchase the bag for $2,000. Is it this movie's role that gave G-13 such popularity? Last time I purchased an eighth it ran from $65 to $75 a pop.

So legend has it.......

The G-13 strain was being examined by government scientists who had been honing in on the plant to be the most potent plant ever. Some say the strain was created for some sort of truth serum for the FBI or CIA. The Government researched this plant hoping to find people turning into communists, becoming a foreign spy, or finding any sort of way to breakdown their diabolical ways only to come to the conclusion that the research revealed the G-13 only made the people giggle under the bright light.

After cloning the super potent sativa plant, a reefer-loving researcher snuck some of these clones out of the University of Mississippi lab before distributing cuttings to his friends. How lucky they were. He then continued to grow the plant in his yard eventually providing cuttings to his neighbors and friends.

Accepting of the cloning theory really puts the future of G-13 at risk with being crossed with another strain if there are seeds. No matter how far back you can take the genetics it will never be in its pure form like grown in the Mississippi lab. If the scientist would of left with seeds there would be more weight to there being G-13 seeds. However, he only managed to escape with cuttings.

Obviously, there are going to be hybrids with G-13 in them. Some examples would be G-13 X White Widow X Purple Kush, G-13 X Hawaiian Sativa, G-13 X Haze, and many, many more. It makes my brain just drool with excitement.

As soon as I received this product I was super stoked to try it! When I opened the container there was a sweet fragrance with notes of oranapple (orange mixed with a pineapple) covered in dirt. The bud was very light green with nice,amber-orange hairs. The trichcomes covered the plant like a sugar stick. I wanted to lick it! It tasted just as fruity as anticipated. The taste wasn't too tasteful going in, but on the exhale did it taste ever so fresh. After eight seconds of the breath the cough would choke. I remember trying to say something but every time I opened my mouth I would start coughing. The high was felt almost immediately. At first it really weighed in on my shoulder blades. When I would move it felt like I had someone's arms just hanging from the back of my head resting on top my back. After about twenty minutes it moved to my chest and sat there the entire time. I was retarded. I just couldn't stop letting Liz know how "retarded" I was. I walked into the kitchen numerous times forgetting what I was going in there for only to remember half way back. The high lasted for a good couple hours as well. The high would go higher and higher and I thought I was getting close to the end of it, but just like the energizer battery it kept going, and going, and going, and going.......I would overdose on this so on Saturday morning waking up would feel great, and I would proudly fill my stomach.

If you can come across this strain I would highly recommend it. It was a nice, pure, smooth smoke, and definitely can be a good day time toking!
