OK, so this is the third and final round of my commercial smoke-off. The first two samples were decent, and if I had never tried home-grown I might still be smoking and moderately enjoying them to this day. Its always interesting to see how jaded you've become because generally when people in town get buds like these three commercial danks i've tried, they about crap themselves with excitement. To me its more like 'that sucks, and it costs THIS much?!?!"
The final nug i'll take a look at is this one:
While this came to me from Bloomington, IN, its obvious that it wasn't grown there. This is some serious cash-cropped herb. I hesistate calling it beasters, but i'm sure some people would.
As you can tell from the picture, this shit is seriously moon-rocky. A whole eighth took up just a tiny section of a zip-lock bag. When you drop the nugs into your jar, they sound like pebbles hitting concrete. The density of this shit is astonding, you can break up a dime-sized nug and roll a joint.
So needless to say this shit has little to no aroma, as it was probably vacuum-packed and smuggled across the border. It does have a bit of a nice fruity smell, but that citrus image is muddied by an overwhelming tendency towards coffee, hay, chocolate, and plastic. Breaking it up does release some more aromatics, more light citrus fruits and a candied smell.
I think the government likes that 99% percent of most uninformed dank-smokers hold this herb. It makes you lazy, and probably even sick (at least down the long-road). I fear cancer just smoking a few hits of this stuff - its absolutely the most lung-raping, harsh, uncured and chemmy shit i've come across in a long time. You can't even take a green hit without hacking to death.
In that the smoke is so harsh and acrid, the high obviously follows that mold. Basically, you smoke this shit and get instantly couch-locked and tired. I lose all interest in most everything after a session of this, and I even at times feel poorly about myself after smoking it. This is commercial weed at its worst: sometimes commercial weed can have a nice high underneath all that nasty transit and hydro-related taste. This weed is not that at all - you feel like you've taken a muscle relaxer with absolutely no heady effects at all.
I bitched about my friends' Sensi Star being too indica-y and couch-y. That shit was heaven compared to this undertaker-ass weed.
Avoid at all costs. If your weed-dealer sells this tripe, tell him 'thanks, but no thanks'. We need to get this weed off the streets for many reasons:
1) It gives stoners a bad name. This type of shit makes us stupid and boring, not to mention perpetuating inter-country drug trafficing.
2) This just can't be good for your health. There's no way that smoking so many chemicals can't be detrimental. Smoking this stuff for ten years must be the equivalent of smoking cigarettes for the same amount of time, if not worse.
3) Its just absolute and utter crap. I don't (always) want a narcotic when i'm smoking weed! It should be about having fun, not feeling like you're ill and retarded. The taste, smell, even appearance of this weed is crap and the high is worse.
While I respect commercial growers that do it right, I think that people who cash-crop with no respect to the final product make it worse for all of us.
Now its time to get off my high-horse and smoke some of this: [a99]
and this, mountain jam
