All you who have never gotten high on leaves weren't around in the 60's & 70's. Before someone figured out that preventing the female from pollenating produced more powerful, and larger buds, thats what we smoked. We grew plants, and when they were ready, we plucked them outta the ground. We then hung them upside down and dried/cured it. The upper 1/3 of the plant became smoke. The buds were of course the best part, but the leaf was considered good too. There was no "one hit" dope back then. You smoked a joint and got high. Good pot was when 2 or 3 people could smoke a joint and get high.
Of course, back then a lid (Ounce or thereabouts) went for 10 for mediocre, to 20 for great. And it was seedy as hell alot of times. A good bag had very few stems or seeds.
When they figured out that eliminating pollenation created bigger and better bud, folks must have gotten pickey, and ignored anything but the buds. I remember when 1 hit weed hit my area. i actually preferred the leaf. I could enjoy a smoke, get high, (Not obliterated) and have fun. Like was mentioned, it's really smooth and has a great effect. I am looking forward to harvesting this grow. You can bet your ass I ain't tossing anything. ('cepting stems!!) Buds are great, but there aint nuthing wrong with the upper leaves.
And you can get high on males. You gotta smoke more of it, but you will get a buzz from it!
