Oh my Gaud , must be mental pause !

[Dweeb]

It's been well over 35 years since toking up for the last time, my SO , never has . We have been thinking about our bucket list and have MJ on it .
Keep hearing about how strong today's stuff is compared to years ago , don't know how true that is .
So those of you back in the day who have partaken of this new era of weed , where do you recommend we start ? Seems there is more strains out there then beer brands or cell phones .... times used to be so much simpler , when getting stoned just involved buying a nick bag , rolling a joint and watching the seeds pop as you got fried .
Any direction and advice is cool , thanks .

Check out the strain guide, flower pictures, and smoke reports. That is a good start.

Older folk seem to love Jack Herer and Northern Lights, another good suggestion might be to try Skunk#1 or Road Kill Skunk.
My advice would be no matter what the strain, if you grow it your self to take it slowly at first, as well grown MJ can be overpowering if you overindulge. And coming from a 35 year hiatus, you'll have no tolerance for it whatsoever.

A toke each from a small pipe will probably do you all night!

Thanks for the suggestions , I did a little hunting through the guides and stuff . Have come to the conclusion we are looking for a sativa strain , we don't want to be a couple zombies , just want our physical senses enhanced so we can fuck our brains out .

Also someone mentioned about growing our own , heck we're not looking for a warehouse full of dope , just a good time so getting all the stuff to do an indoor grow hardly seems worth it . Heck we can get enough to do us for about $20 I would think , but then how the hell would we know what strain we would be getting ?
Shit , we just want to get high , not become walking grass encyclopedias .

Any further suggestions ?

 

[HerbGlaze]

not become walking grass encyclopedias .

Your at the wrong place...
Just kidding my friend try some Haze strain from now a days it will send you flying into space!

Bag seed. Don't waste your hard earned money on quality cannabis genetics the first time around, just use some bag seed until you figure out everything that needs to be done and how to grow - then go spend a fortune.

Trust me. I burned up some quality plants in my day because I was in a big time hurry and had no time to learn, so I burned...

As Herb said (facetiously?), you are at the wrong place. This is a forum for growers. If you are asking advice on how or where to buy marijuana, I don't think you'll get much help here. Or anywhere for that matter. Being illegal, it's not quite like going to a TV forum and asking whether to buy your new Sony at Circuit City or Best Buy. And even if you did get some suggestions, I'd be wary. What you're asking is, after all, against the law.

i see no indication they are looking to buy herb anywhere
looks like an old friend come back home to me

Dweeb - my two pennies is as follows, take it or leave it
buy the seeds, not the expensive ones
check out cannacopia
joey weed
nirvana

they are all lower end priced company's that still offer quality genetics
spend your time here in the "growers forums" !!
look for a grow that you think you can do
examples being
hydro
micro grows
or organics
there are so many styles to grow the same plant, pick what you like best

then follow the thread or threads
post questions to the grower
and start them seeds !!

if you post up pictures and start your own thread, i am sure you will find members here willing to help you when you need it
myself included

good luck and have fun

if youre not going to grow your own you cant expect to get a strain you want. you are at the mercy of the dealer and how creative or savvy he is in making up a name for his mid grade shit hes selling. more often than not.

$20 worth of bud these day's is about a gram.not alot at all but could be depending on how much you smoke/need Good luck

Holly shit ! Thanks for standing behind a stranger Brother B . We have been around the block a few times , like we hoped you all would be here , that's why we picked this forum to begin with .

We're just a couple of older folk who were interested in kindling friendships from a few knowledgeable kin from the by gone days . Sorry if we were mistaken , seems a stranger can't even ask for directions without getting the eye . Being mellow is what we were all known for , would do anything to help anyone out , still do .

We will take the advice given here about doing our own grow , maybe someday , until then we will just lurk . Thanks for your time guys .

 

[Brother Bear]

hey you found the right place
:friends: now you just gotta find the right people here

welcome to ICM don't let them posts scare ya off LOL
hoping to see you around the growers forums

 

[DoobieDuck]

Welcome Dweeb...you found a respected friend in Brother Bear..you'll find..and make many while you're here. Just get comphy and enjoy the company. DD

 

[hoosierdaddy]

I was jus gettin comfy when you suggested it to Dweeb!

D, my 2 pfennigs is to do like suggested and try a cheap strain. Nirvana has plenty to choose from.
Not that you can't find some fantastic things in badseeds, they can be a bit intimidating if you are not sure what to look for as to what it's needs are. Same goes for the Hazes. They are very long flowering for the most part, and they have quite a bit of diversity even amongst it's own kind, so they require a more experienced grower to do it right...but by no means let that stop you.

There are inexpensive sativa heavy hybrids that are real easy to grow, don't take forever, and will fuck you and the old lady up just like you want.

Best of luck.

Bucket List, eh? Mine includes a quiff-shotgun from a celebrity Jessica (Alba, Biel or Simpson).

Just drive to a 7-11 or some othetr convenience store located in a seedy part of town, and wait in the parking lot. Someone will surely offer to sell ya some chronic...lol.

Seriously, it sounds like you just want to get yer buzz on, so just scrounge up some local stuff. Ya kinda need to be committed to growin, which does not lend itself to instant gratification.

I'm just sayin...

 

[Tony Aroma]

Sorry. It sounded to me like they wanted to get high but weren't interested in growing. I assumed that meant they wanted some advice on buying. So please ignore my first response. I'll file it away for another time.

 

[JamieShoes]

my rule of thumb for buying when I don't know where to look (outside holland I mean)...is find a friendly looking kid (over21) on a skateboard.. (in Europe, this has never failed me)

thats a very general statement designed purely to give an old chap an idea or two...I'm not advocating the selling of illegal herbs to seniors, minors or anyone else

 

[JamieShoes]

alternatively... book a trip to amsterdam.. buy all the weed you want in the shops and f*ck each other silly all over the red light district.. good on you both :wink:

I dare say you could strike a few other things off your "bucket" list while you were there as you both sound pretty adventurous LMAO
