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!
