...every other U S. based seed slinger from the late 90's who ripped off Vic, his knowledge, his methods, even his fucking soil recipe, and never gave him credit.
With special mention for
DJ Short
a bullshit artist who never fucking heard gunfire from where he lived in Detroit during the riots (Grantland article) and if you lie about one thing to embellish your story, you'll lie about _every_ thing. Who gives a shit if your "creation" smelled like blueberries, since you colchicined the fuck out of those plants and turned 'em in to scrawny, sickly little runts instead of honest to God cannabis. But hey, if they live, they'll smell like a berry and then hermie on ya, sounds like a foundational version of cannabis... at least to you. Dive deep into the BCGA website archive of OT1 to understand what I'm talking about.
