Ain't that the truth. I'm about three hours from the border, if the roads are bare. My travels in the North are mainly limited to border towns, but I have definitely gotten some righteous smoke there. The kind you really wish you didn't have to just smoke through, before crossing the border again lol.
Sounds like some interesting crosses though. The Brotherhood cut has be curious. I might have to do some research on that. Is it related to The Brotherhood of Eternal Love like Exodus Cheese is related to the Exodus commune?

That's exactly right, prostheticninja. While the Brotherhood was all about enlightenment through the use of acid they started out growing cannabis, mostly in Hawaii. There's a bit of info in my other thread on what my own research revealed. I'll see if I can find the link and edit it in here.

Here's a synopsis I wrote. Some parts are blatantly and shamelessly plagiarized.
"Some of you might be old enough and worldly enough to fondly remember the acid days of the 60s. One of the chief purveyors and manufacturers of LSD was the Brotherhood of Eternal Love with their "Orange Sunshine" blotter, often freely gifted to encourage "enlightenment". There's a semi-documentary movie by the same name which is the story of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love - a spiritual group of surfers and hippies in California who became the world's largest suppliers of LSD.
Skunk. Very few other words can conjure up such a strong smell association. The history of skunk weed is hotly contested in some circles. Sam "The Skunk Man" developed and christened the first Skunk #1 strains in the mid-70s, but others claim that 'Skunk' was initially a name for a strong smelling line of hybridised and acclimatised pure sativas grown in California by the Mother Earth communes in the mid to late 60s and also by the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, predominantly in Hawaii.
Regardless the truth of that bit of history it's accepted that the old BOEL skunk strain has been continuously grown in the islands since then, albeit hybridized/crossed/mutated/bastardized and otherwise altered by the vagaries of time. This Golden Coast Genetics strain utilizes a cross of BOEL Skunk, otherwise known as Brotherhood '79 Skunk.
Johnny or Johnny D, the other genetic strain in this cross, is an old-time strain that was bred in Hawaii and is a cross of Thai and Cambodian sativas. It's been an island staple for many years but it too has changed over time.
So this is supposedly a skunky Hawaiian sativa crossed with other Hawaiian-developed sativas, but given that the young leaves are short and fat as hell I'm thinking that an Afghan worked it's way into the genetics somewhere along the line. I've seen pics of this strain from growers in the islands and even though at first it looks like an Afghan the sativa kicks into high gear during flowering. It'll be fun to see how it grows out for me."

Pretty crazy Rider. Incredible bulk. Very curious how much you'll wind up with.
I just started a thread to journal my last few weeks with pictures. Take a look when you have time. "RDWC Lemon Skunk Seeds from DNA" in the hydroponics room. Scrogdawg was giving me shit because I had no pictures, No pics no proof. That bastard haha

Sad night last night. I enjoyed the grow immensely and had fun experimenting with EtOH extraction and dry ice keif collection. I kept out a bit of bud for personal use and destroyed the rest of the bud, keif, and CCO by contaminating it with gasoline. The state sets possession limits that, even with a doc's prescription, doesn't take into account a bumper crop of this magnitude. Maybe someday that'll change but until then I don't want to end up being Big Bubba's cellmate.

Legality issues. My attorney is working on it but there doesn't seem to be a provision in law for donations to other medical users, and giving it to recreational users is a no-go because the state wants its tax dollars. It's all about the money with government. If they're getting it, they're cool. If not, you're a criminal.
