Problem is I'm trying to be legal hamish. I don't want to go to jail and think about seeing my loved ones in 15 yrs as I rot away for growing my own medicine to help with my cancer growth. Check this out though.
Dude it is about to go full legal here no BS. And we don't have state and feds, we have the law and that is it. Member of parliament got a standing ovation during a parliamentary sitting when he made his plea for legal medical herb. The president immediately ordered health ministers etc to look into it. TIA brother, over here natural medicine is really, REALLY big, and herb features in traditional natural medicine quite prominently. Plus, most of the guys in government come from places where FIELDS of it are grown. S.A is going to be a great place to be soon. What got me by surprise is they are already talking oil. So it is going to instantly be a concentrate scene, so small plant limits will be no issue. Keep your eyes on this place over the next 2 years, land is cheap here and when doors open they open for everybody, foreigners bringing foreign investment are most welcome. If you need to hire 5 'pickers' and 5 'trimmers' congratulations, you have created jobs, something the government is quite big on too. Just saying, if you want to grow for a living then this is one of the places to watch. It is going to happen, huge explosion in growing, and then I want to be there with a little organics supply store and gardening school making good bucks off something I REALLY like. I just don't want to grow for a living, meh.
Aren't you closer to Canada. Do you guys get the bcsters there?
Bcsters [beasters] - Horrible buds that are big colas that smell like sweaty wet shoes and socks and tastes the same. Has thick yarn like orange hairs , very leafy. When smoked, it keeps you looking for your high ie low potency, very low. They come from B.C. Back in the day 96-2003 all the dealers would go on vacation during the summer. It would go completely dry. Me n my friends would save up money and pot for the summer so we wouldn't be screwed. By halfway through summer. We would grab some bcsters. thats all their was. Then mid to late august - september we would get the outdoor from fall brook (san diego). They were horrible but better than bcsters. Sometimes came with pincher bugs. By october the dank would be in full swing. Then after 03 local and nor cal growers stepped up their game and started producing more. Then soon after the dispensaries started popping up. It was damn near impossible to get a rec until 2007. Then there were doctors everywhere.
Sounds like Cape Town lol... Now is different, you can get Exodus Cheese any time (bleh) but back in the day it was highly seasonal. November you better be stashing whatever is good, December got dry as a bone. All you could get was Swazi brick weed which smelled like brandy, and two kinds of very bad hash. I don't know what they did with the THC but they left it out of the hash completely.
January and Feb, you better pray you had a good hash connection. Travelers used to be around that time with good charas or Moroccan, especially the German and Israeli guys. Always had kilos, gods know how. Only thing is, now you have to pay US Dollars. 100 USD a tola of Charas, 60 to 85 for good Moroccan. Tola is 10 grams. At the time it was like 5 ZAR to one USD. Damn pricey smoke. By that time not even brick weed, you could find 'stops' of crumbled leaf and stick and seed wrapped in newspaper. Even the guys you got it from didn't smoke it, they used it to mix with Mandrax, smokable Quaaludes...
Late March early dank came in, and all sorts of shitty early outdoor too. Stuff that smelled like dirt and tasted like it. April... CHEAP weed, good weed, everywhere... Till November. Then it sucks again.
