My fellow herbalists...
So So So So So So looking forward to getting home and smoking my organic!!! I always buy Pink Kush / Pink Death / Pink Star every where I go when traveling / disp hopping, and I tell ya, some bad herb floating around that looked quite decent to me and smelled great, but still harsh and stingy and peppery and damaging to the throat.
Fack, I wish there was a way of stopping bad weed from ever hitting the shops, I've been sick for 3 days since puffin some dirty erb! That shit should all be turned into something else like lower end edibles or cheap capsules, or facking compost for all I care!! But I guess people need moolah, life ain't cheap round the way here, and they decide to sell it off to highest bidder / whoever can buy it, and wash their hands of the situation..
Unfortunate, but all the more reason to know what collectives you're buying from, and then to stick to said growers, who do it proper!! And stick it to those who don't bother to clarify sources. No name is now risky as ever. Strain name is one thing, but sign your work with an alias or anything, and let people know 'who' its from
Of course growing your own is the most awesome, if you have the time etc, you know everything that happens, but sometimes you gotta fly (LITERALLY) and can't take your sac of meds on with you..
Even recreational users don't deserve to get hit with heavy metals, pesticides, dry ass phosphorus / salt build up.. that shit dries you out to the core and causes more harm than good.. lowers immunity, the whole nine.
Happy to see more organic LP's and collectives and craft growers popping up though.. that's the future! Great to see the sector growing!
But sadly, even many of the organic guys gotta watch their harshness, imo, I'm getting a lot of bad burn from them, too tbh.. lots of joints going out.. they must be adding castings or too many organic ferts too late, or not letting their medium breathe enough.. or using too much UV!!! I love seeing herb as frosty as mine, if its cured well and smells good ill usually try any new shit out, but if it doesn't burn, what's the point right!!?? IM NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY OF YOU GUYS BTW, CAN'T WAIT TO TRY EVERYONES HERB ONE DAY!!
anyways, thats my rant for today, be easy and love your plants like your own kids!!
ps
ThaHERB should be so silky smooth you barely feel the smoke enter, then all of a sudden you taste terps on the inhale / get surprised by the expansive exhale .. oh I cant wait to hit the bong and get some Strawberry Wafer OPG in!!! Im excited!!!!
