"oh my god, my pot killed someone!"

[fatbottoms]

That's what my roommate said to me as we watched someone pass out in front of us and go into an epileptic like seizure in front of us.

He had just purchased some Skunk weed from my roommate and against my better judgement, took an extra bong hit...this was truly one-hit bud.

Back in the early 80's, most stoners had never even heard of an indica strain.

I certainly hadn't until my roommate introduced it to me in my first year of college in Austin, Tx...I smoked heavily all through high school, dealing in my senior year to support my habit.

The quality of weed in the 80's wasn't that good compared to today's standards, but you could find good sensi and other buds, if you knew the right people...my roommate knew the right person.

My roommate was extremely relieved to find out that I was a stoner as we were matched up randomly in a 26 story high-rise dorm, often referred to by the students as the "doobie"- Dobie dorm becasue it was up so high, you would see clouds of smoke because of all the stoners in the dorm.

He had been telling me about this guy he knew that grew the best Skunk bud in the world, bud so good, you only needed to take one hit...."DUDE, ONE HIT WEED!"he exclaimed.

Well, he finally brought home a quarter ounce of Indica strain that he called "Purple Skunk" weed for $50.00 - HOLY SHIT that's $200 an ounce... I was paying $60-$100 an ounce back in the 80's.

First of all, I had never seen purple shaded bud before nor had I ever smelled anything as near pungent to this day from any other bud I've ever come across.

The first whiff I got from the bag was so intense that I had to pull my head back.

This strain had an overly intense, overwhelming smell of raw pine that I had never smelled before.

The buds were all uniform in size - about the size of a 50 cent piece, spade shaped, not dense, but sort of fluffy.

But what was truly amazing were the enormous sized resinous trichomes that covered the entire bud.

I can't stress how big these trichomes were...3-4 times the size of the biggest trichomes you see today.

This bud was so sticky that if you just touched it with the tip of your finger, it would stick to your finger like a booger, unable to flick it off.

So my roommate brings home this guy who wants to buy some of the Skunk weed.

I try to warn him this is unlike any other weed he's smoked before and to take a small hit, but roommate discourages this by saying, "C'mon, don't be a pussy, take a huge hit. You want to get stoned don't you."

Well, of course, not wanting to be a pussy, he takes a huge hit, and loses a lung after a 10 minute coughing jag as my roommate and I convulse in laughter over the mushroom cloud that had exploded in his lungs...talk about EXPANDO-WEED.

After he's regained a little color, my roommate offers him another hit which he really doesn't want, but my roommate once again discourages this by saying, "C'mon don't be a pussy, you only took one hit. You have to take at least one more. Just one more, that's only TWO HITS!"

Well, who can blame him. I certainly wouldn't want to be a pussy, so he takes another hit, but he's learned his lesson and takes a very small hit, but it doesn't help him as his lungs are toast and he goes into another 10 minute coughing jag as my roommate rolls around on his bed laughing maniacally as he loses his other lung.

After he's hydrated and recovered, my roommate sends him on his way and he goes out the door dazed and confused.

A few minutes later, we hear a knock so I go answer the door and see it's our Skunk victim standling in front of us on unsteady feet swaying back and forth with his eyes rolling around in his head, mumbling something to the effect, "Ughhhh ahhh don feel goooooood, can I coooom...," before his eyes roll straight to the back of his head and he passes out, falling straight back, stiff as a board, landing right on the back of his skull as it bounced a good 6 inches off the floor before going into an epileptic like seizure for several seconds...lucky for him the floors were carpeted.

My roommate who was behind me and had witnessed the whole thing panics saying, "OH MY GOD, MY POT KILLED SOMEONE!" before he pulls me inside and slams the door shut.

As he's freaking out, I tell him, we can't just leave him out there. He's right in front of our door. To which he says, "You're right, we have to drag him away from our door.

As he desperately tries to think of where to drag him, I jokingly say lets put him in the elevator and send him down to the lobby - we were on the 16th floor to which he readily agrees.

I try to calm him down and tell him lets just check on him and see if he's alright.

I look out the peep hole of our door and don't see any activity outside in the hall or from our motionless body.

I tip-toe out and bend down by his head to see if he's breathing...thank god, I can see his chest rising up and down.

I have difficulty rousing him and my roommate, looking out for the victim's well-being, still wants to drag him somewhere like the stairwell and leave him there.

We decide, we can't leave him in front of our door, but I'm weary of moving him from the fall, but my roommate drags him into the room by his feet as his head bounces off the door jamb on the bottom like a speed bump.

After slapping him around for a few minutes and waterboarding him, he finally comes to and we help him sit up on the bed.

He tells us that he got lost and couldn't find the elevators...the elevators are in the middle of the tower with a square hallway with about 8 rooms, impossible to miss.

After making sure he's okay, we all laugh as I tell him my roommate wanted to drag you and leave you in the stairwell.

Couple of days later, he showed up with his girlfriend to say he was okay and he had never had an experience like that before...truly some wondrous bud.

What I wouldn't give to have those seeds again...gigantic round striped seeds.

I grew my first indoor crop with that strain, and grew some unbelievable bud.

Anyone have an idea as to the strain I'm describing?

 

[CannaBare]

I would bet that it was some purple Hindu

 

[SnapsProvolone]

Weed can indeed induce epileptic seizures in some people. It also stops them for some. Still a mystery.

 

[charface]

I hope you saved that weed.

 

[tip top toker]

Too long, didn't read.

I grew some exodus cheese (from the clone, not some Dr greenthumb or similar bullshit knockoff) and naturally just told folk at the party that it was just bought, they spent all night and the next day tryingnto convince me that it was spiked with something. I just smiled and nodded.

 

[ChingOwn]

That will happen

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

Sounds very much like my first three experiences with big Dab hits (or so I've been told).
I'm a lightweight in that department.

 

[racerboy71]

idk, just me personally, i've never run across anything that i'd consider one hit wonder weed, not if you're talking about bud and not some concentrates..

been smoking for a good 20 plus years, and never took one hit of anything and not took a second hit, plus..

Same shit, same strain, different party....

Same here - I can easily hit it 3 or 4 (good) bowl or doob hits & still function.
Shatter is an different story completely. I don't touch the stuff now.

I think the difference is that you are a heavy smoker. Take a top tier strain and give it to someone who is used to nothing (I'm talking UK style here of course, that is to say mixed with tobacco, meaning any dilution) and you can knock a hell of a lot of people for six. On my 21st, I invited all my friends, and my brother(twin) to my flat for a smoke prior to heading out for the evening, I rolled one joint, and went to room to get changed, I came back to the kitchen to find my brother had fallen off his chair and was unconscious on the kitchen floor, most everyone else was OK, we got to the first pub, had half a pint of local 15% cider, they had to all go back to the flat. 30 minutes later I was spending my 21st birthday alone smoking joints watching a film while every single person was comatose.

Me, even if its as strong as they come (breeders boutique dog, never had anything like it) I'll still take every drag I can. If I'm gonna pass out I might as well do it in style

yeah tip, i'm not sure if it's the sheer amount i usually smoke, although recently i haven't been smoking much at all, or the fact that i've done lots and lots of harder drugs.. no need to get into naming them here, but if you know me, you know.. not sure if they dulled my senses so to speak, or what the dilly is tbh..

From my experience, I'd say it has nothing to do with the harder drugs. People unaccustomed to high grade cannabis, let alone a propper joints worth, will fold like daisies. Other than the instance of my 21st, that was one of my fav things about growing. I could pass a joint to friends who did a gram of blow at a time, and it would knock them for six. Amused me to no end. My flatmates cousin was the biggest dealer in the city, he took one look and smell of it, and said fuck that. Average Joe is not used to anything but bunk on the whole. When you grow, you can grow god knows what, and it will still make you feel like you've never smoked before that first bud you try. (Talking about UK here of course, where if yuo don't grow, some o the best weed you can buy will be like the stuff you'd have nightmares about growing, I'm talking Cali hash, that kind of shit, just not grown to ripeness, just sellability)

i find it pretty crazy that you say that quality bud is pretty hard to find in the uk tip, not that i don't believe you, just something i ASSumed is all i guess, knowing that there's some grade a clones over there like cheese, and it's varieties, livers and blues and psychosis, but i guess unless you grow or have good connections it's hard to find..
i live on the east coast, in probably the worst medical state in the country by miles, and it's nothing like what i think of california or even say michigan being when it comes to the quality of the bud.. it's around here, but man o man, do you have to pay a pretty penny for it, which is basically why i started growing my own..

how about hash in the uk tip? i know when i went to barcelona, i hard problems finding bud, but had hash coming out my nose, and quality stuff, not that soap bar stuff i've heard so much about.. i'd imagine that you also don't get much in the way of concentrates either, like bho or qwiso there then either? just curious..

Weed definitely affects people differently. ..a friend of mine used to love getting stoned before playing soccer.

As for the one hit weed, that is the only time I've ran across bud that good, and that was over 30 years ago.

Is it true that the best bud in the world are grown with cfl's...they say, you may not get yield, but the quality is unbeatable.

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

That came from a CFL salesman training manual. Lol
Of course one can grow great bud with CFL's, but MH/HPS will produce equal quality but with greater quantity Imho.

 

[fatbottoms]

It may be more profitable, if you're trying to make money, but I don't necessarily think bigger denser buds mean better quality or potency...I think it's just the opposite.

Everyone talks about size, but I think lighter airier smaller buds can produce more trichomes and resin than denser buds, and I'm not just saying that because I'm Asian.

LOLOLOL That is a great story!!!
Almost like it happened yesterday in your mind.

I'm always searching for that "one hit high" weed, mostly for at work.
The closest I've ever found was Thai stick in the early 80's.
Though I often took more than 1 hit, it didnt matter anymore.
You were parked for a few hours.

Maybe it was Northern Lights in it's early days?
Green, skunky, big seeds.

Did Northern Lights in the early days have a purplish tint to it because Purple Skunk definitely did.

At the time, 1982, I had never seen or smelled any bud like that ever before in my life...and when I think about it, to this day, I've never seen the shape, uniformity and smell of this bud in any other strain.

It was as if I was staring at an alien breed so unlike any other bud in every sense from the overwhelming raw pine smell, to the uniform evenly spade -shaped buds that were light and airy.

What's indescribable is how sticky and resinous this bud was...if you squeezed the bud between your fingers, it would stay in that shape, pressed down, because of all the resin.

The trichomes weren't really white either...they were more amber and clear, like the bud was covered with tiny drops of dew.

As with anything else, you eventually build a tolerance to it, and after I'd been smoking it awhile, I'd take several hits, but never more than 3 or 4 because you turned into a vegetable after the 3rd or 4th hit.

After I grew that killer strain, I didn't grow for over 30 years...and now, 30 years later, I'm into my second indoor grow.

Never in my life, did I ever imagine these two events to occur my life time: Black president and the legalization of weed...and it's been a long hard struggle for both.

 

[Milovan]

Long ago I had some Mexican shwag dirt weed that was truly
a one hitter quitter strain.
You take one hit and it tasted so bad you didn't want another.
