Shittier Weed is Better
    #22340852 - 10/06/15 12:08 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

http://www.vice.com/read/the-shake-shack-stoners-explain-why-they-prefer-crappy-weed-420

Quote:


It's morning in America for potheads. More and more states are legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana, studies are finding more and more medicinal uses for it, and the quality of herb is getting stronger by the season. As VICE weed correspondent T. Kid once wrote, "In place of the leafy, stem-filled weed that prevailed decades ago, we now have access to meticulously crafted cannabis flowers tinted white with THC crystals. These days, the weed is prettier, more fragrant, and gets you much, much higher than it ever did before."

This is all well and good, but I prefer shitty weed.

It took me a while to realize this. In college, I lived with some stoners, and we exclusively smoked the stickiest icky we could find, medical-grade delivery-service shit that got me so high I'd turn temporarily illiterate.

I once brought home one of these strains—called Blue Dream or Silver Haze or something flashy—to share with my mother, a cool lady who used to smoke finger-sized doobies as if they cigarettes in the 70s. Like many adults who become parents, she took a decades-long herb hiatus, and wasn't familiar with how the drug had evolved over the years. She wanted to try smoking again, and we shared a joint of my weed. After a puff, she was blown away by the taste and felt good. Two puffs later and I had to carry her upstairs and tuck her in as if I were the parent. To her, a hit from modern weed was akin to a rip from an opium pipe.

Flash-forward a few years, and I can relate to my mom. I like to smoke weed with my friends, meaning we roll up multiple spliffs at once and prefer to continuously be smoking something to keep the conversation going and pass time. I can't do that with medical weed, "headies," "dank kush," or whatever you want to call stuff with upwards of 20 percent THC content.

Though it sounds weird to say it, I feel nostalgic for the weed I'd buy in high school: cheap bags full of forest-green shake that resembled (or might have been) oregano. This stuff is to medical chronic as Budweiser is to whatever microbrew beer bros are drooling over these days; I could chain smoke it all evening long while just maintaining a slight buzz. Whenever I'd express this opinion to heavy smokers, they'd call me a narc, tell me to get a vape, or suggest I purchase a used Sabbath record to jerk off onto. But the more I started asking around, the more stoners I found who felt a similar soft spot for shake. Here's what a variety of weed lovers, who wished to remain anonymous, told me about why they like their pot weak.

If I smoked once a year, I understand splurging. But for people like me who smoke multiple times a day, you're crazy for spending so much on weed that's not that much better. I'm young and broke, so I think of it like wine. Sure, a nice expensive bottle if wine is amazing and pairs well with food. But if I'm just a kid looking to get drunk, which in most situations I am, two-buck chuck does exactly what I need it to.




:whathesaid: :rofl:

Yeah 10-20$ a gram rivals the price of gold. I would rather buy a small bar of 14K gold than a lid of some good herbs at freakin 300-400$.

On a side note, I have seen dealers paid with gold coins from the 1800's and car title slips :facepalm:

The only good thing about shitty weed is that it is so much cheaper.

Pretty much. It's good for making edibles and that is about it.

Chain smoking shit weed in joints? Sounds like a headache. I don't know how the guy in the article does it. We use to do that shit in high school and I got some of the weiredest headaches from chain smoking shit bud.

Vapes is where it is at anywho for both sociability and getting high without getting too high. Fill up a bag, pass it around, fill it up again... pass around.

Maybe the other non THC alkaloids would have more room to shine then too.

stress the hell out of the plant maybe. Make the weed like it was 40 years ago

Shit weed literally gives me a headache. Anytime someone from Florida says they have "mango" I am immediately turned off because it seems that's what every base-line dealer has to offer and it's never good for my head. Now I'm sure real "mango kush" would be a different story but not the same shit that's grown all throughout Florida.

I think that might be a cause of the panic attacks.

The THC to CBD ratio is very important, CBD is an anti-psychotic and most of the potent stuff I have seen in northern CA comes out at less than 5% CBD but over 18% THC. The cannabinoid profile is extremely important and often overlooked.

Too much THC and you get paranoid and weird, too much CBD and you can't get anything done and feel couch-locked. :lol:

Look at how popular the sativa x. Indica hybrids are when you go to a high quality supplier. Almost no 100% cultivars anymore.

I like high quality weed with a lower thc and related compound content. Getting super stoned every time i take a puff is kind og annoying. I can relate to the author on this. I miss the days of smoking a joint just to smoke it and taste the herb but i can't do that with strong stuff nor do I want to.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever read "I'd rather buy shitty drugs so I can do a bunch of them and not feel much". This dude should be smoking cigarettes instead of weed and I have never said that before.

I can understand wanting premium bud bread for lower THC content and higher CBD's. But never would I want shitty grown dirt weed with a ton of seeds and stems. That weed is garbage, no other way around it. It tastes like shit, gives me a headache, and you literally have to consume so much of it get any effect. Pretty sure the added the tar and smoke aren't doing the body any favors either. At least with good weed you can take a few hits and be done with it.

I agree with this somewhat. I vape/smoked indian, and morrocan hashish. The thc/cbd ratio makes a huge difference to the high and can be felt quite a lot. As such, I have been finding myself smoking that more and more

I live in cali and I went through a "wax phase". I don't think I have ever been so retarded in my entire life. The THC/CBD ratio seen in modern weed is ridiculous. Compounded with the increased potency, I 100% believe this article

I basically stopped smoking entirely because I felt dumb and dull all the time. Once I switched from weed to wax, you basically sell your own sanity. The medical MJ movement is awesome for its own reasons. But this obsession with potency is not. There is more to weed that potency

I only need 1 or 2 hits to get decently stoned, any more then that and I start to forget how to act in social situations, but I also have no tolerance to speak of.

We had an old vehicle that a mechanic friend wanted to part out. He was refurbishing the same make/model for his mother. Got a pound of kind medical ($2500 range) for a $300 beater farm vehicle. It would have cost us more doing the title, paying taxes, and getting a wrecker to drag it over 50 miles. He footed the paperwork bills and everything else. I see it as a 300 dollar pound of weed that lasted us a very long time.

I'd never trade gold or a real car for weed. Seeing a car parted out for a family friend as a gift and getting gifted a pound of weed likely isn't the norm, but we were happy to help him. We didn't expect anything in return. :shrug:

Ahhh...you kids.  Smoking pot in the 1960's and 1970's was SUCH a better experience than you guys are probably having.  First off - it was totally bad-ass and counter-culture back then.

Secondly, it was incredibly SOCIAL.  When you can pass around a fat, fat joint of mediocre strength around a circle of six or eight people four or five times, you have ample time to talk, giggle, flirt, laugh, play music - or say "I've had enough" and land exactly where you wanted.  It was an experience the likes of which you modern, young guys and gals probably know little about.

I'm tellin' ya...this article got it right.  I can barely take 2 tokes of today's grade marijuana without getting couch lock and/or paranoid, and far too high to fuck.  Back then, you would smoke with your favorite gal (or a near total stranger lady) get horny and go at it with lots of enjoyment and little impairment.

'Nuf said.  :penis:

yeah i miss smoking all night to maintain a shitty buzz and kill my throat and lungs.

i'd much rather a few good bong hits of high quality sativa, or one fat dab, and i'm good for hours.

What stops smoking good weed from being social...? I don't get it. I smoke weed to get high, not to repeatedly smoke from a joint. Are you sure you guys weren't smoking cigarettes? Hah...

What's the difference between taking a gigantic hit from shitty weed from an oversized joint vs taking a smaller hit on a smaller joint...? Nothing... and I don't know why you think weed still isn't very social like it was back then. I don't see the difference.

10/10 times I'll take option 2...
