Colombian things

Colombian things

I was wrong about many things in Colombia. Like many Americans I had preconceived ideas about the country based on the US media. And food was one of them, I assumed Colombian food to be like Mexican food. But what I thought was “Mexican” food really was Tex-Mex. To be honest at first I really didn’t care for Colombian food (which varies from region to region).

I was use to corn feed beef and spicy dishes (my first wife was Cajun) and the Colombian food seemed bland and strange. However after living here for a few years I’ve become rather fond of Colombian food and now even have favorite dishes. In my house we rarely eat out and my wife shops for fresh food every day. Now for the kids we sometimes take them to MacDonald’s but not for the food just for the playground.

I’ve also after years of learning the hard way stopped eating food from the street vendors. Here in Bogota every street corner has somebody selling some kind of delicious toxic fried food. I’ve gotten food poisoning 5 or 6 times as a result of eating it. Here’s some of the fruits and veggies we eat daily, I haven’t eaten anything from a can in years.

I really do enjoy living here and I’ve come to love the culture but I don’t pretend to be Latino, I’m an American keep my identity and customs, passing them to my kids. I BBQ on the 4th of July and party, Thanksgiving is an American tradition in my house and I share this experience with my close Colombian family (they love it). Its Easter week and we will make and hide colored eggs for the kids to find which kind of freaks out the Colombians but that’s what we do. And most Colombians really dig American culture anyway.

I know I complain about my wife a lot but the truth is she is no different than any other woman I’ve been with. She is always pissed at me in various degrees and I’ve come to accept that and carry on. There’s no in-between with her, my wife is to me a very intense, superficial, aggressive person, who is constantly living in the state of chaos. This seems to be typical of Colombian women (something else I didn’t know before). My mother in law is nothing like my wife, my mother in law defends me and spoils me rotten. She’s of the old school and treats the man like a king, I love it and I treat her like a queen.

After viewing the video’s on my phone from Saturday nights outing, I’m not drinking out alone again. Some of the things I was saying and doing in the video was embarrassing to say the least. I was rude and boisterous with the men and I don’t want to mention my behavior around the young ladies. When I get a good beer buzz going I think I’m super cool but not in reality, same with my Spanish. I thought I was speaking perfect Spanish till I saw the video. Well I called my buddy and apologized and I guess they were drunk too because he thought I was fantastic and they wanted a repeat party. Next time I’ll smoke but no booze.

I love the farmers market here in Bella Vista. fresh Coca leaves year round. Legal too!

LMFAO!!!

I just got divorced, and your statement just sums up why I should not be married. I take it too personally. Good job not doing that Red.

Love your thread. It promotes Cannabis and Colombia. Sounds like you are eating and living better than you used to, and your wife and Colombia have been good to you.

The Purple Corinto seems to be one of the most popular old school strains down there, and there is variety among them. I have a SAGE I crossed with Purple Haze Thai, possibly distantly related to Purple Corinto, that I love.

I also have a small number of Punto Rojo seeds, thanks to a good friend. I planted 3 of them and only one came up, so it is extremely precious. I'll post a picture here when it gets bigger, if you don't mind.

IME most people act as you describe while drinking but the other people don't care because they are also drinking. As a taxi driver this became crystal clear.

That's a job I couldn't do is be a taxi driver. I really don't like being around drunk people unless I'm one of them. I can't imagine being a taxi driver with some drunks telling me where to go and god knows what. My respect to you because without a cab taking me safely home I might not be here now. Actually I took a bus home Saturday night but my Colombian friends wanted me to take a cab. I'm too cheap to spend a few extra pesos on a taxi.

Taxi's everywhere here, except when you need one.

Love is coming to us all

Love is coming to us all

Here is my assessment of the current Colombian’s I have at the moment. All three came from different sources here in Bogota.

This is this most recent accusation of unknown origin and simply call “marijuana” by the source. The smell and taste of this one is reminiscent of spicy redbud but without the fermentation. It’s a deep robust taste that is common in quality “dark” Colombians. Hard to tell much about looks because it was in my pocket most of an evening.

The effect is strong and comes on quick with a warm rush of euphoria that heals the body and sprite. Not really motivating as it’s richly euphoric making me just want to enjoy the sensation. It provokes deep thoughts and enjoyable reminiscing while putting a warm glow on everything. Good duration but slightly sleepy finish that lingers.

The next is what I call another Gold, this is from my younger friend the University where I sometimes work. I’ve been talking with this guy and although he’s very intelligent his knowledge of cannabis is sorely lacking. Like my other Colombian friend he knows what “good” cannabis is but not why it is. Anyway this “Gold” is not crippy, now I’m not exactly sure if he meant not named crippy or not crippy genetics. At any rate this is some very fine weed. It’s not fermented or pressed hard, some tiny dark seeds but not many, greenish gold color. Smells and taste absolutely delicious, like sweet sandalwood hash incense. Broken up buds explode with pungent aromas of fine hashish and exotic incense. This is a little sweeter tasting to me than most even blond Gold, almost like a good men’s cologne. The effect is not too slow in coming on with stress reliving waves that seem to wash away negativity replacing it with subjective creativity. It’s euphoric but clear allowing me to focus on my interest instead of just the effect. The duration of this one could be longer and tolerance shortens it further. Very clean finish. This is my favorite of the three and is now gone.

Finally from good old George the most authentic looking Colombian, another Corinto. Flat fermented seedy buds. The smell and taste are rich earthy hashish, a little better in the taste. The effect’s onset comes on very slow compared to the first two and is not as potent either. After 5 to 10 minutes the effect comes on in rich euphoric waves building to a dreamy peak that is excellent for watching movies or reading. Not as clear as the other two or as clean in the finish. Good duration and low tolerance but gives me a hangover with repeated use.

Hola IC! Got some new developments, had a guy with a finca willing to grow. It turns out his finca is over 10,000ft and cold. I had to pass because it was just to cold and rainy there. I've got some new samples coming in this week from some new sources but I took a smoking break last week because my tolerance was getting out of hand. My expressed interest now that I have several "Gold" varieties is "Redbud". I'm wanting to find some of the old school red again. I'll put some pics up when I get some. One other thing I'd like to say is, most of what I get is NOT high quality. Every sample I get has a "buzz" to it but only a rare few are worth keeping (IMHO). Anyway good stuff coming!

Loving the pix and info. Thanks for sharing. When you say most of it is not high quality stuff do you mean the stuff you smoke there in general? Or are you including those buds you took pix of?

Because they look pretty good to me. For bush weed anyway you know. Lots better than most of the mexi I used to see.

Motaco! So good to hear from you, I love your threads.

I turn down a lot of samples here because it's of low quality (dirty hung over effect). The pictures are of only what I consider to be of primo rare Colombians and some exceptional crippa. I don't bother photographing and writing about the "normal" buds I come across here. I've smoked more Mexican than I care to remember and I can tell you these Colombians are nothing like them. There must be a million different strains of Colombian any most are not hybridized that I've found.

It's very good to hear from you my friend and I invite you to look at more Colombians as I get them.

I will admit that I am a pot snob and am very picky about it. I took a voluntary smoke break last week. I still have a bunch of the Purple Corinto and another nice strain but I was smoking so much that only the oil would get me high. I have no problem stopping but today I saw George and breaks over. George called this morning and said he wanted to show me something so I met him at the café and had a cup. He just got back from the Easter week holiday with his friends near Manizales. More Gold grown in the high mountains of the coffee growing region. The color is what caught my eye when he slipped the bag to me under the table. Yellow, really blondish gold, no red hairs, no big stems, just clumps of golden goodness. But there's lots of gold here and that's not what puts this gold in exclusives club. He had this in a bag like you would get from 7/11 a small one that doesn't seal. But from under the table when I opened the bag I could smell it, like incense full on. Really a sharp distinct aroma. Now when I closed the bag and stuffed it into my jacket pocket you couldn't smell it. The burnt smell is even more intense and the taste is like heaven to me, very tasty. The smoke expands on this and I felt it quick with my low tolerance and oh man it kicked my ass. Almost too much as at first I felt paranoia and really not pleasant, I smoked 6 or 7 hits because the taste was so nice. But after about 20 minutes I relaxed and the effect was VERY euphoric and rejuvenating. The finish (I didn't re-up) was sleepy but clean and I feel a lot better. The "break" was nice I guess, but it takes me a few experiences to really enjoy it again. Anyway I'll get some pics up of this very strong smelling gold along with more detail as I collect them. Right now I've got to get it together for an English class. I'm still high and really have no desire to try to teach a bunch of new students (Adults) today. But it's kind of a fun job and hard to call it work so nos vomse teach English.

Close call

Close call

I had an interesting “Colombian” experience last night, with one of my “adult” students. Normally I never carry weed around with me especially when I have an evening class. But yesterday I was over at the University (National) to record some tutorial videos with my new smoke buddy. Well the dude changed the recording schedule without telling me so I just hung around with my buddy till my next evening class that is closer to the university than to my house. And he had weed. I rarely get high before a class but I had some time and he had some nice fresh Crippa, so I took a few hits to taste. And also I must say that my tolerance is really down now due to a previous break. It was nice Crippa and he offered me a bud and the rest of the joint we were smoking. Of course I took it and stuck it in my bag. Anyway I catch a nice buzz and go on the TRANSMILENIO and head north to the business district where my private class student is working. The Crippa buzz is nice with no paranoia what so ever, just happy optimistic “buzz” as I blast my earbuds on the crowded bus.
Carolina has been taking my class for eight weeks now (two 2 hour classes a week) and as a student she is progressing very well but her job and lifestyle keep her stressed. I work with a lot of people, both men and women all the time and I’m very familiar with working alone with beautiful executive women. Carolina is one of these 30ish high energy business executives that doesn’t have time for a romantic relationship. And she is incredibly beautiful with porcelain white skin and jet black waist length hair, she is a picture of a Colombian paisa princess. You can really see the Castilian Spanish in her beautiful blend of human genetics. I don’t even want to describe her body but you get the idea. Anyway Carolina is single living with her widowed mother. She works all the time for a medical supply distributer and earns a healthy wage as well as travel around the world for the company (American). Carolina has been studying English most of her 32 years but now requires certification to advance in her company. So twice a week Since February, I meet Carolina at her private office for a two hour English class. I try to stay focused but this woman really dresses super sexy (like most women here) and when you have her attention she is so sweat and charming.
So last night we worked through a couple boring exercises and then started speaking on a personal level as we sometimes do. She likes to flirt and normally I refute her vague advances and open invitations, not because I have morals but because I’m really not sure if I’m reading her signals correctly. I’ve been in this situation before with students (female) and nothings ever happened so I don’t give her much thought. However last night our conversation drifted to cannabis and again I normally don’t say anything about cannabis or “drugs” to my students as not to bring attention to my partaking. But last night I was an authority on cannabis, like I was giving her a class on it. So told me that she was interested in it because of her work and life stress and wanted to try it. That’s all it took for me to say I had some for her to try and I recommended to do it immediately to relive her suffering. This was not a good idea on many levels but hind sight is always 20/20. We turn off the lights in her office lock up and head down to her car in the empty underground parking lot. We hop into her little Renault and lock the doors, there is no one in this huge parking lot but us. Confidence is high as I pull out the little bud I had for her to smell as I lit the half joint my buddy had provided earlier in the day. She like it! The look, the smell and when I handed her the joint she didn’t know how to hit it having never smoked anything in her life. I hit it a few times showing her how to inhale the smoke and not just pull it into her mouth. Finally she got a good one and started coughing with the expanding smoke. The little car was filled with smoke so we opened the windows for some air and my god I’d never see such red eyes on her. She has like cobalt blue eyes (really sexy) but now blood shot and a stupid grin on her face. We looked at each other and started laughing and laughing, the joint went out and I found myself “touching” her. Not in a sexual way but like really friendly rubs and strokes to arms. After a little more “slap ass” as my dad would say, she looks at me and said “now what?” with this devilish grin on her blood red lips. And man I really don’t know why I did this but her face was so close to mine and I kissed her. She pulled me in like a deep sea marline and if not for the steering wheel I’d had been on her lap. She started really kissing me deep as I ran my hand from her knee to mid-thigh. Her legs nude under the short mini skirt felt like warm silk as I advanced my hand with her kisses. My heart was racing and I started having flash backs of homemade porn flicks filmed in a car. When we broke for a minute I noticed that she had transformed into a sex vixen in heat, panting with her eyes half closed and whispering in Spanish. This is that hot “Latina” lust we all dream about. Any red blooded American, well any man would have done what I did next, seat back panties off. Then I hear this “tapping” on our closed window (I almost didn’t stop to look though) and there’s these two security guards grinning at us with flash lights blazing. It freaked me out and I popped back over to the passenger seat. Carolina just kept going on her own until I screamed police!! They told us we had to leave the parking lot because it was closing. Man I almost had a heart attack but if they had come just a few minutes later I wouldn’t have stopped and they would have gotten a show. Their still standing there as I zip up and she fires the car up, they are laughing their asses off. Nothing bad really happened but she was so worried they would say something to her boss she completely lost the desire and returned to the Carolina I knew. And to make it worse she feels “guilty” about what happened and is slightly different talking with me. We parted ways a little later and I thought to give her a real kiss when we said goodbye but she only offered her cheek.
I called her just a while ago because I had a feeling she might cancel the class with me out of some embarrassment or something. She was straight up cool, acting like nothing happened and business as usual and the class was still on. And she wants some cannabis when I see her for her next class Friday night. Although I want no problems with my psychotic wife that might lead to her going crazier I am interested to see what happens in Friday’s class.

Two Columbian beauties huh? You've got cast iron balls bro.

You only live once but do make sure you get through it with everything still attached.

You already have an enthusiastic readership. I can guarantee no one's going anywhere until we find out how this one turns out. Best of luck with it.

[red rider]

Thank you everyone. I will have the class again with Carolina (unless she cancels) and see how it goes. To be honest I don't want to get involved with Carolina on a personal level, past experience tells me dealing with two women is a disaster. However I am bringing some of the new gold or maybe the purple Corinto for her to sample. But I'm not going to burn with her alone in her car again. I'm really trying to stay focused on getting my finca and don't need to be distracted by another woman. So bearing that in mind I'm going to push through Carolina's class tonight and try not to let the situation get out of hand again. I've been in situations like this before but never smoked with or kissed the student, it's a job hazard. To be honest I traded sanity for epic sexual fantasy a long time ago. I really have no resistance to beautiful Columbiana's, neither the women or the cannabis flowers.
Again thanks for the support! I will update after tonight's class and get some golden pics up.

Yep, usually mixing work and pleasure is not a good idea however tempting things may be. Good luck on your search for the redbuds.

I cannot say I didn't play the field when I was back home. My family had money and as much as I hate to admit it, we were a bit connected. Still, these women play by a different set of rules. A set of rules that have no rules. WTF am I saying, they are all crazy.
