Okay, so.
This thread is supposed to be discussing GHS, but seeing as it has taken a a sharp right lets see where its going.
Would you cali and amsterdam lovers get upset if i told you that Canada has the best weed in the world. I've never been to cali or holland but i'm making that statement based on the fact that the best weed I've ever smoked is from cananda.
You see what i did there?
You are all doing the same thing when you're making claims about places you've never been.
Regardless as to the origins of the "building block strains" Amsterdam has had accepted cannabis for decades, and in that time have developed laboratorys and a scientific process specific to cannabis, California is still the wild west.
But wait a second, what if i told you that the best weed in the world comes from SE asia. Thailand, cambodia, laos. That is the birthplace of the long fowering sativa, as far as i'm concerned the best kind of weed. But alas, there is such a huge unexplainable market for anything with "kush" in it. That we're seeing alot of heavy indicas storming the market.
When you hear dutch and spannish breeders talk about cannabis, you hear passion in the things they say, their love of the sacred herb comes through when they discuss specific terpenes and cannabinoid profiles (beyond the big 3, THCV is arguably the most psychoactive cannabinoid yet you almost never hear people discussing it) When I hear american breeders talking shop, it almost invariably comes down to "this shit is some big frosty nugz" I mean cmon. Why would I buy an unstable cross of a clone only strain when there are so many amazing strains availible through stable seeds? Why would I order seeds from police state that is the USA when I could be getting them from legitimate breeders who believe in transparancy and doing things above the board?
Cali-fucking-fornia. As I already said in this thread, the world is a whooooooole lot bigger than your backyard. Theres 6 billion some odd people on this planet, but somehow you're the only ones who can grow dope? And don't give me that shit about dutch strains only occupying the lower end of the menus in dispensarys, you know as well as i do that there are a ton of assholes selling their WW as Sour triploid OG Fire lemon Kushberry because a bullshit name fetches alot more skrillah than an old standard does. (nothing to do with quality, everyone just wants the hot new thing)
I defy any of you cali boosters to try some haze and compare that to the commercial indica varietys you folks are so proud of. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised at how good weed can be.
Hell, I'd even put my house strain (hybrid bagseed) up agains any of the so called "elite" cuttings you folks have floating around there.
