I am pretty sure that a good deal of the nugget I get here on Maui probably comes from Cali -- and the new dealer I've managed to do business with has a good moving rotation of quality buds.
Unfortunately due to "Operation Green Harvest" out here on the islands, the days of cheap and plentiful locally grown green from the valleys and hills of Hawaii are over. The pressure is on all the time. Near the ends of the growing season it is not uncommon to see heli's heading back to town with huge hauls of weed hanging from beneath. It makes me sad....

I would think that the people of Hawaii would be among the first in line to get weed legallized in their State. What possible reason could there be to keep it illegal on an island where no one is being harmed by its presense?

I haven't been to Cali yet, but I have certainly had weed straight from friends living there. My question is.... how does the weed in the medical shops compare to weed on the street?
Has anyone else noticed how weak the weed in Amsterdam is, compared to expectations?
MASTER KUSH there are alott of california growers and alott of them are good at what they do. yet not all of them flood the market with great stuff.
id need to have a sit down with you...
i say medical is designer weed and some true blue growers in cali still have that back yard skunk thats true blue.

Despite it being illegal here, it is pretty much a way of life. For the most part the cops don't really care about the smokers anymore. They've got their hands full dealing with the ice-fiends.
If the smattering of different buds we have available here is indicative of the Cali markets..... damn, it must be a good thing to live in California!

I don't know if this is true but I heard much of the weed there is sifted for hash production. So the pot being sold already has been stripped of some potency.

The last time I smoked some local outdoor, it was "pretendica" cane weed. Looked like a nice nugget, but there was no flavor and hardly any buzz.

also, i should take up smoking again, but i'm almost scared of some of the shit that's been coming into my area recently. even my friends with super high tolerances are knocked on their asses and i've got absolutely no tolerance anymore.
it's almost too bad that it's extremely difficult to find mids around here. if i wanna start smoking again i gotta start small. the one hit i took on new years KILLED me.

just to clarify, im not saying the weed in the dam isn't good... just saying I was expecting something a bit over the top. I tried the hash too.. including Barney Rubble.
And yes, I had Amnesia Haze. I had over 40 strains. My favorite was Blueberry Cheese, and the most potent was probably "Grey Berry," even though technically it should have been Sweettooth according to the THC levels in Barney's chart.

From my experience ive been pretty let down by the skunk over there. Youve got to remember the coffee shops over there are in it for the profit and this leads to a large amount of weed on the commercial market being "tumbled".
I go three times a year and have realised its definitely all about the hashish, although saying that when I went in december the quality of skunk way a lot higher than on previous visits.
It could also depend on the part of the season you go (an assumption I know, however it would make sense to me that the higher the number of tourists (peak season) the lower the quality).
If you couldnt get decent quality from the grey area or barneys (dunno if you tried dampkring) somethings seriously amiss. Although I have been hearing extremely bad reports about the "barney rubble" hash.
