White Widow

Stuff gives me the shakes and heart palpitations. Had it from different growers at different times, it just disagrees with me.
The Brazilian sativa element is too racy and the Indian indica just melts you. It’s always an intense Indica v Sativa battle.
Usually with hybrids I get the sativa effect then it chills into indica but white widow pummels me with both from the get go and leaves me meditating to the ganja gods with tai chi breathing to alleviate me from the poisonous kiss of White Widow.

Mimosa 🤮😂

I was going so say mimosa, no matter how good it is, those orange terps remind me of burning rubber. Strange.

So glad I’m not alone in hating mimosa terps. The first time I smelled/tasted it, I genuinely thought the weed was bogus. Like it had been artificially flavoured with something nasty. Then when I got good mimosa it was the exact same terps. Not for me like.

I’d say Stardawg too, just because it was fuckin everywhere and was normally sub par.

I like Mimosa for the effect and I don't mind the taste. I am not keen on some of the other strains that taste similar like Tangerine Dream so I can see where you're coming from. Citrus strains can be hit and miss on the terps front.

I think Mimosa is the only strain taste wise that lives up to the hype. 90% of weed tastes to me exactly what it is- heated vegetation. All the “mouth watering “ descriptions completely pass me by…occasionally I get pine bathroom cleaner but heyho…
So I tend not to chase flavours at all and just go for effects, and I love the effects of a good Mimosa. I might have mentioned it😉

I hear you, I’d say I’m less of a flavour hunter too and more just looking for ways to encourage variety. I’ve definitely been let down by mouth watering descriptions a lot, but at the same time been surprised a lot too. I’m not really sure how much truth there is in all this supposed terp nuance either tbh…
What I do know is that I absolutely love a traditional stenchy, skunky, weed flavour. Not even sure what it’s called. We’ve spoken about the vomit vibes before haha, I want that shit! Smells like Mother Nature’s entire raw effluence.

“Smells like Mother Nature’s entire raw effluence.”

🤩😂🤩😂- what a line!!

Preach! Innit - where’s the stanky pungent slap in ya face skunk at? Miss it, used to get my hands on some proper stuff about 12yrs ago . Must still be around somewhere

I definitely taste different flavours. And Mimosa makes me sick 😂 Saying that I usually taste weed as it smells until I’ve smoked a couple spliffs. Then it’s hit or miss. Weird 😂 That’s the wonderful thing with Cannabis. The variety is astounding so everyone and their preferences are catered for 😁

Bang on, I’m not into any tangey variants either. I accidentally bought some expensive import bud a few weeks ago that had tangey/mimosa heritage. The bud was clearly excellent in every department, probably well worth the money, but the terps ruined it for me. Just tasted artificial, almost like a nicotine vape or something. Different strokes and all that.

Haha, I forgot about Dawg - probs cause I don't count it as a usable option

Juice 💚 💦

Hate the taste but iv yet to find a strain that is almost comparable to taking codine for feel good factor. I’ll smoke dry straw for that

Anything with piney terps for me - just really reminds me of those car air fresheners 🤮🌲 not a fan. Dunno if I am on my own with that one lol

Lemon Tree is the strain I most dislike. I use to love a good lemon skunk or lemon haze 20 years ago. Not the same anymore.

I really dislike a haze 👎

that's an easy answer ... any that don't get me high (normally not a strain blame, more a grower blame) ... so reckons the jackal 😎😎

That's really tough Blazin. I'm going back a bit but if I remember the flavour of ak-47 was too floral for my liking.

Stardawg is like the equivalent of Lambert and butler smokes.

Once grew some Barney's Farm LSD and it tasted awful.

I did exactly the same, worst tasting strain I ever grew!

Tasted like dirty cooking oil!

I get a vibe from some strains, mainly I’d describe more indica leaning and berry types.

Makes me introspective. Can get dark. But it’s also when you swim in the creative madness of semi-subconscious which when young, or in the wrong place can be no different than a mushroom experience.

Set and setting applies with *all* consumption I think 🤔 but I have a theory that plants also pick up on the vibe of their grower + there is also just a 💩 grow, right?

Super silver haze. Smelled like cats piss and had no body high. Muscles felt restless and uncomfortable.

Way back I got some free seeds with the seeds I ordered. NYC diesel they were, so I grew them and was so disappointed, it tasted awful. Haven't really gone for diesel since. Have smoked loads of diesel cross.

Everest is another, it's not that I dislike the taste/high etc, but I find if I'm on it for multiple days then it really brings my mood down.

For me it’s gotta be Rainbow Belts. Not a fan of it’s clove-y taste and I find the buzz to be muddled and racy. Just don’t like it at all.

I find it all a bit crazy how inbred US genetics are getting.

I go on Leafly to look up what I’m getting. And it all goes back to a few OG strains if you trace it back.

That’s the stuff I’m interested in to be honest.

A Gelato crossed with something that’s already been crossed with Gelato 32 times, and a chem, or a haze, but has a fancy name. Sputum Spangles. Or something. And that’s just a hybrid of Thin Mint and Chemdog.

I get it. But it’s not especially inventive and actually tends to all be a bit samey.

I’m with Mr Geeseeks about White Widow too. In small doses only. Same goes for AK47 and Jack Herer. Racy as f**k. Same with most Hazes for me. Although I do like Diesel if I’m out and about, so it’s not all Sativa heavy hybrids.. Tends to leave me with a bit of a headache though sometimes.

Yeah. Anything racy. That makes me genuinely feel like I can feel the centrifugal force of the Earth spinning. Nah bruh. I’ll pass.

I got four, and they're all because of the terrible taste -

Tropicana
Tropicana Cookies
Tangie
Tangiesicle

Top two, because I can't stand ones with a pine taste. Second two, because they taste like smoking candle wax

Never been fussed on Zkittles or Dosido either - usually because they're not grow well


Juice 💚 💦

I've not tried the Tropicana strains, but I do agree about the Tangies as I don't get on with the taste of them either.

Biscotti. Makes me too disorientated.

Update: have tried biscotti again as I was given some as a freebie and this one is a lot nicer, and no disorientation.

My latest is mimosa. Smells like baby sick.

Not a fan of tangie / orange strains, smells straight like smelly people

Number one: stardawg. And all the crosses. People seem to love it, I don't.
Number two: Gorilla glue. It's strong, yeah, but seemingly at the expense of everything else. I've had nice glue crosses though.
Number three: lemon haze. This one's slightly unfair but for ages it's all anyone grew around here so I just don't care if I never see another bag of lemon in my life.
The other one worthy of note is the thin mint. I don't know what they were thinking there.

Anyway, that's me. Other people are different.

Gorilla Glue is like Russian roulette with 5 Chambers loaded.
At it's best, it is hard to better. I have had some good tasting examples but they are becoming rarer.
The genetics are laden with problems so it is difficult to get the correct pheno from seed. But if you have the correct clone (as is the case with chemdawg) and it is grown and cured adequately, it is a very nice smoke imo.

It's completely possible I've not had the best versions but also maybe just a taste or body chemistry thing where for whatever reason those strains don't do it for me. I'm unlikely to test the theory any further by buying more when there's a myriad of sweeter options at LB that are more up my street. The world would of course be boring if we were all the same.

It sure would.
And of course, you are the best person to judge your own factors.
I have had 2 different lots from different vendors on here, and they were both disappointing.

To be fair to the vendors on here I've not had any of the strains I've mentioned from anyone on LB. There's definitely more exciting strains to me available here so I'm unlikely to backtrack just to make sure I don't like it though.

We got some fresh zkittlez in. I really dislike haze tho just smells of roach spray honestly . Idk how it got so famous

Iv not figured out the common denominator but some strains have me feeling I can’t be arsed with anyone or anything in a none good way and like a what’s the point type feeling.

I get it with some runtz not all , had it with gg4 but not gorilla skitz. Its defo not my mood at the time either as I know that gets pointed at a lot

Stardawg 100% was the only thing I could get hold of for the longest time and just absolutely sickened myself with it. Can’t stand it now would prefer literally anything else over it

Cookiedawg. Overpowering terps with low potency literally came to little biggy because all i could get was dawg variants round my area.

Shame on all of you for the Mimosa hate ! lol

It was police code for marijuana-specific calls on police radio channels (*in the US). It was changed for obvious reasons many years ago By the time it was changed, 420 was already synonymous with marijuana all over the world. Same goes for rap music..."get caught up on a 187" and "slipped and judge slapped em with a 311" with 187 being police code for murder and 311 being code for robbery.The codes are all probably different now since the person sharing this with me was a retired judge/ ex-police officer and he was talking about all this like it was from a loooong time ago. Anything but that meaning is a madeup story by some stoned kid who probably had a persuasive way of telling stories. Oh btw, Haight Ashbury has that time there because it means pot, not because they started it. They have gay flags everywhere...did the rainbow flag originate from there too? I love hearinng all the creative BS people were told and regurgitated. Grateful Dead's address? Hahaha...awesome!

yep. this is the right explanation. so wierd how a police code has become a worldwide thing! ??????

187 is a drive by shooting and 420 was also the time some tokers thought was ok to start smoking weed

Straight story in my humble opinion, is that it symbolises triumph of marketing.

One should consume cannabis when, where, as much he/she wants. Every day, every joint, every hit is a celebration of life and freedom.
One doesn't need special occasions or reasons to consume, i think.

Seems a popular opinion is a group of teens in cali, kinda cool not sure though but fashion in languages is fascinating. Jive Turkeys......

Peace! :)

sounds most legit

According to Oxford University Press...

'The real story involves two friends, Steve Capper and Dave Reddix, who bonded over smoking pot in high school during the early 1970's. One day, they heard about a field of marijuana near a Coast Guard base where they were told they could pick as much as they wanted. With a map in hand, they went searching after school for the magical field of marijuana. Every day, they met under a statue of Louis Pasteur at 4:20.

"And we'd remind each other in the hallway that we were going to meet at Louis at 4:20. So we'd look each other as we passed by and we'd go, '4:20 Louis.' You always smiled when you said it, it was kind of a knowing smile. But eventually the Louis dropped," '

Yup, 4:20 is a time and not a date. It signifies the end of the school day within the Californian state education system during the 70's. It's basically the time folk meet up and have some fun... fo'twenny!

Always thought it was based on a indoors vegetative lighting grow schedule.

As in 4 hours darkness, 20 hours light = 420

best reconstructive theory right here

It's from the clock on Haight and Ashbury

That depends if its PM or AM... ; )

420 PM = disappointment - I know I have probably another 6 hours before I can have smoke

420 AM = Oh crap - Ive just woken up on the sofa again! Time to make my way up to my actual bed.

ITs Actally April 20th the ideal date too germinate your seeds to be grown outside thus being past the last frost of the year and is the date all uk growers know of or at least i thought did lmao

420 degrees F is the maximum temperature at which you can vaporize THC. I appreciate the 4/20 tradition might have come before vaping facts became knows, but we're stoners... sometimes the answer comes before the question. I prefer mine at 390 degrees, but happy 420 anyway!

someone oughta brand a concentrate thats optimally vaped at 420

I thought at 4:20 the minute hand and hour hand unite and release a wee waft of timeless smoke....

It symbolises getting high all the time and is thus more sacred than any biblical numerology

I used to work for sales in a major brewing business starting in the late 80's and drinking at work was a huge part of the culture. We had replica pub bars in all our offices that were fully stocked and free all hours. We were expected to get out in the trade and drink with our customers. We would entertain around the world with massive drinking sessions, often with visits to breweries. Our sales meetings didn't just end in a pub they often started in a pub! Despite having company cars we had taxi and expense accounts to get us home or to a hotel when we couldn't even see to drive.The rationale was- "well we ain't selling candy!"....

But none of that was ever accepted as an excuse not to do a great job, and thats what you were measured on. If you didn't you were instant toast.

Oh boy how times have changed....absolutely zero of that happens today....

Everyone deserves their medicine. It’s unfair that people can drink and people cannot smoke.

we gotsa pub right here

Next he's gonna say you can get alert without modafinil.

Can get some serious re-ignition with the right exercise and music.

Oreoz from Super Hans

Heard he sold some banging weed when he was on here

I’m finding it very hard to get my snout out of a big jar of Green Cats Mimosa!👃💥🍊👅

That’s about it!😂😂

I really enjoyed Canadian Imports Biscotti when it’s in stock. Tastes and smells just like a biscotti should!

Almondy?

Yes spain is my go to place now for vacation 😂

All you need to do is get on weedmaps app , search the area and browse the dispensaries. When you have found one you want to visit you will be able to find their email address.

Send them an email before you go saying that you would like to visit them during your trip . Dont say anything about weed or ask about prices of membership or products etc.. they won't appreciate it.

They will then email you back saying yeah its all good see you soon.

And thats all there is to it. When you get there tell them that you sent them an email.

They will want to see your passport or driving licence to input into their system and then they charge you a membership fee , typically 5-10 euros a week but every place ive ever been to has never charged me again for the duration of my stay.

The main place I go to only charged me once when I was staying for a month and now every time since he just searches for me in his system and let's me in .(we have built up somewhat of a friendship me and this guy during that month so he always remembers me when i return and I'm not sure if this is why he doesn't charge me any more plus he now knows im going to spend a lot of money with him for the duration ) 😂😂

It's dead easy!

Sounds good mate, we were talking about going to one in Gran Canaria a couple of years back but never got round to it.

What are the prices like over there in the clubs?

You could just stop fucking with your stereo.
Its nothing to do with weed its to do with self incompetence.
Changing music while driving is as bad as using your phone.

what if sting comes on?

HAHA Awh that made me LOL.

Or Simply Red

that's fine and dandy but someone in the thread mentioned the very real possibility of simply red coming on

Can't remember.

Not the magic powers part, I took out my neighbors mailbox backing out of my driveway while otherwise feeling amazing thanks to the kind folks here.

I drive around the countryside for work and I'm high most of the day, never caused me a problem. Have crashed 3 times while sober though, but one of those was being side swiped by a lorry (driver fell asleep). Wish I was stoned, might not have hurt so much..

Never while stoned, many while straight headed, all on motorbikes.

i took out a bird (of the avian variety) whilst driving (stoned). it was a being wanker and had it coming. however, that was a conscious choice...

lolol!

Nope only once when I wasnt. I think when I'm stoned driving I'm much more aware of everything. Only bad thing is the police , worst thing you can hear when stoned is " Lads checkpoint " .

Nope, been doing it for almost 20 years. Funny thing was just talking to one of my best friends from back in the day. We used to get stoned and go for a drive. Used to do some, what I find scary now country lanes, with crazy bends, up hills and down hills.

Seen some funny shit too whilst stoned and driving.

Would panic when a police car would go past or pull up next to me at the lights but now I vape, so don't give a shit anymore.

Ricky, that you?

Jokes aside, I drive way better stoned than sober. Much smoother and less aggressive.

I have been driving stoned for many years and never had an accident.. but I have witnessed hundreds when out driving...lol...

PlayStation for me.

As for driving round stoned, I live in my cur my cur is my home, I’m sure you get stoned at home probably, all types of weed.

I play call of duty better when stoned I can ice skate better when I’m baked and I drive better when I’m baked I can’t remember what I had for breakfast most days but I can quick snipe a brother from across the map easy hahah somethings activities weed enhances me slightly I’m sure of it never binned a car yet touch wood seen many a close call been in a few over the years but never actually wrecked a whip when stoned

Why are you looking at your phone while driving? Let alone driving while high looking at these comments too some of y’all need a moral check imo

I’ve crashed twice. Both times I wasn’t stoned

Do a lot of driving stoned myself, never had any issues. The last time I had an issue was when me and a friend rented a hotel room at like... 18 I think. We had an ounce of some weird ass weed we needed to get rid of... smoked the whole ounce through the night, and then I tried to drive home and when I pulled out of the hotel I was driving on the wrong side of the road (was the middle of the night with no cars out).

Oops... but I quickly figured that out and got back in the right lane haha.

yes empty roads are dangerou because you find your own flow

I'm just glad you werent listening to simply red

Totally Right up to Fast and Furious 4

There's a view it was Hearst family who demonised cannabis through his media outlets and his ownership of timber companies .Anslinger working hand in hand with hearst.

I think your right. Over the years I've heard different things but I think it was because hemp yards would've put timber yards out of business mainly, so it had everything to do with timber yard owners banding together to outlaw hemp/cannabis.

I always thought it was mainly pressure from the US courtesy of the ballbag that was Harry Anslinger

In 1924 Attaturk (republic of turkey, founder) amended the constitution which removed the religion of state is Islam.. so find it hard to believe that his government was pressuring uk to
Follow Islamic law whilst removing it in their own country 😂

That’s bollocks why didn’t they ban alcohol too then? 🤣

Google it

Googled and you are still talking waffle.

It was international pressure, mostly from the USA, this was also at the time of USA prohibition of alchohol. (1928)

At the time the UK was more interested in the opinions of older world powers like Turkey and Egypt who where very prominent in the league of Nations the Ottoman Empire was coming to an end but still had massive influence after centuries of dominance.

Without reading anything and being too stoned in school to listen…

I’d hazard a guess it all comes down to making money and keeping the rich richer 😂

We found the daily Mail reader 😂😂 48% of Muslim in London you say.. let’s see those facts and figures then..

Jesus mate, the country is overrun with Islamists/muslims and they are outbreeding everyone else.

Thats the scary thing g. Dont believe everything even ‘google’ tells ya. Haha. 🧐😉😘

Sorry if it does not fit the narrative, history is what I love.

It seems your man Tony has over simplified the details for a bit of sensationalism, mate. From what I can see, he’s referring to the 1925 Opium Convention, and he’s not quite got it right. Benefit of the doubt, it’s probably poor research rather than malice, but he’s inaccurate nonetheless. Now, from what I’ve read this Convention was used to underpin the cannabis legislation in the UK, but I bet that was more about fiscal convenience rather than “because the Muslims told us to”. Devil in the detail eh.

Cannabis in the 1925 Convention

Egypt, with support from Italy and South Africa, recommended that measures of control be extended beyond opium and cocaine derivatives, to hashish. A sub-committee was created, and proposed the following text:

The use of Indian hemp and the preparations derived therefrom may only be authorized for medical and scientific purposes. The raw resin (charas), however, which is extracted from the female tops of the cannabis sativa L, together with the various preparations (hashish, chira, esrar, diamba, etc.) of which it forms the basis, not being at present utilized for medical purposes and only being susceptible of utilisation for harmful purposes, in the same manner as other narcotics, may not be produced, sold, traded in, etc., under any circumstances whatsoever.
India and other countries objected to this language, citing social and religious customs and the prevalence of wild-growing cannabis plants that would make it difficult to enforce. A compromise[12] was made that banned exportation of Indian hemp to countries that have prohibited its use, and requiring importing countries to issue certificates approving the importation and stating that the shipment was required "exclusively for medical or scientific purposes." It also required Parties to "exercise an effective control of such a nature as to prevent the illicit international traffic in Indian hemp and especially in the resin." ****These restrictions still left considerable leeway for countries to allow production, internal trade, and use of cannabis for recreational purposes. ****

Tbf, on reading further it also seems as though the British delegation at that convention only agreed with Egypt on cannabis because it was holding up the conversation about opium, they didn’t even know what cannabis was though. I suppose that’s pressure? Not quite the oppressive Islamic vibes Tony is going with though.

Good work buddy, I was surprised at reading it to be fair.

I was exploring the legalities around THCa so was hitting up Google and came across it.

Could I not say the same to you? I thought that it was made illegal because of the Cotton and Automotive industry paying off politicians. I am not sure why Turkey would have any influence over the UK especially when the UK sided with Greece/Cyprus during the war over there.

Also check your source bro https://tonydagostino.co.uk/history-of-cannabis/ this is a consultant trying to shill some bs.

Its not me saying it is is taken straight off of Google and is the top result but what I can see is that the UK was under pressure from 1920 to update there drug reforms by the League of Nations.

Below copied and pasted:

The two main reasons for the ban on cannabis in the UK are simple: fear and pressure. British policymakers feared counterculture movements that challenged traditional values, and there was also fear of being estranged politically from European allies. At the same time, Britain was facing building pressure to follow in the footsteps of other powerful countries and fulfil their obligation in drug reform, as a member of the League of Nations.

Top result on Google does not mean its factual. I could run an ad campaign etc. and get something fake to the top results.

I said the source you got it from is a consultant trying to shill some bs not you.

If you had looked further that is the ONLY source stating this hence why it is top of Google. The numerous other source state the reasons I posted.

https://www.highandpolite.co.uk/cbdnews/the-real-reasons-cannabis-was-made-illegal-in-the-uk

Also it was not under the interpretation of Islamic law..... That guy has clearly twisted the original story too his own interpretation to fit another agenda(bashing muslims most likely). A suggestion from an Egyptian diplomat is not Islamic Law as far as I am aware?
