Okay, so this is something that, if you havent lived in Cali you would never know but northern cali is very different from socal, different lingo, outlook...were just different.

Than being said, since most of the group I travel in is part of the medical cannabis community we refer to strains as opposed to this is good/bad, etc.

For instance here is an exerpt of a convo I had with a freidn recently regarding the quality of some strawberry cough that was very good and some OG kush that was ok...

"Did you try that strawberry cough? It was triched out, really nice"

"Yeah, that shit was super ice"

"What did you think of the OG?

"It was preme, he should have waited another few weeks to harvest"

"I agree, def should have been more patient, the way it came out was bunk"


Translated:

The SC was covered in trichomes and was potent, the OG was harvested too early and was judged to be substandard.

Ya dig?

In LA, I have heard people use more common trade names for canna...like Kush, skunk, haze....even though they definitely werent...the most overused in my opinion...blueberry...on one trip to LA, everybody had blueberry...now, BB is my favorite strain...I have grown nearly all the major seedbank's BB, I know the strain like I know my face....wasnt none of them true blue..but thats what most of the people I was around at were told they had.

Just remember that good marketing works on every level from the seedbanks to your canna club to your local budman.

"tokers" refer to shwag weed as the chronic.

I guess it was just an uninformed scrub. :roll:

Out here Chronic doesn't necessarily means it's the straing "Chronic", just that it's mid grade. Stuff you would use to fill joints and blunts, but not good shit.

The talk in so cal is pretty much the same amongst patients about strains and all of the bullshit. It's all very much a big stroke and it generally gets me laughing. Every place has at least 2 or 3 sometimes 4-5 OG Kush variances from 818 OG, SFV OG, Platinum OG, Fire OG, blah blah blah. Then there's Green Crack and it's zillion crosses with a zillion names...

Basically, everything is completely bastardized and you gotta look at what is best for the price by sight.

The one great thing about the whole thing? It's hard to get screwed, you have to work at it. The bud you are smoking is WAYYYY better than the shit the guy in ohio has found in his entire life. I'm not saying it shouldn't be cheaper, I'm just saying most of the shit is pretty damn dank.

First thing first i dont like starting shit. i have lived in texas for 17 years, pretty much grew up here. I dont think Cali is way better than Texas, though i cant judge since i never been there. Texas is one of the cheapest states to live in. And since you see texans and most of the south, as arrogant red necks, what do you think we see you guys as. Ive heard shit like "californians are ignorant air heads with more money than brains."

One thing I have noticed about things people in cali do that the rest of the country thinks is weird.When the fad has ran out in Cali and they are moving on to other things the rest of the country starts to do it.

I use to live in Corpus Christi.From school test scores corpus was the second dumbest city in the country with San Antonio being the dumbest of all.Everyone in Texas thinks their state is the best but most have never seen any other states.Texas is a lot of fun but there is a lot of Red necks and pure dumb trash and a ass lode of trailer park idiots too.The craziest thing to me is how the locals hate the beach,Ill never get that!You can drive on the beach camp free burn fires and go nuts with no cops but like I said the locals hate it.Oh and Whataburger sucks and people there love that over priced crap burger there too.The mexican food is awesome and a oz of mexican cost 40.00 that was cool.

how long did you live in Texas? I'm from southeast houston/ North Galveston. I could careless about going to that dirty beach too. I'm actually glad I dont live near the water any more.

Sure Whataburger is over priced but so are the other burger joints. You have to shell out some cash to have a real burger.

on the east coast, lingo is as follows: swag= dirt
mid-grade (aka middies)= can be good or not. the range can be from just above dirt, to just below some dank.
headies= dank. so called cuz it goes straight to ya head.
Click to expand...
delawhere here. pretty much nail-on-head there
'xcept instead of dank or headies, we called it nug

then again, i'm kinda old school now i guess.
and i don't really smoke with the youngsters
(not that i wouldn't, just don't wanna be the creepy kinda older guy... even if i'm only 27)

If you live in Cali and travel overseas, make sure you tell them you're from Cali and don't mention US. You will get more acceptance!!! They know about Cali weed however you might refer to it.

I'm in nor cal & most all the older types (over mid 20s/myself included) say "I got some killer shit!" or "I got this shit.... its ok, not that great though" then they tell you its ---- tw, purple, kush, northern lights, green crack, whatever. In Humboldt their dad, buddy, aunt, guy across the street, cops, garbage man, guy at the denny's, teacher, bus driver, dog walker, hair stylist..... either grows or know the person that grew it. Everybody is about 1 association away from the plant - shit you not.
All the kids say chronic, dank, - fuck I don't even know what the cool kids are saying these days. I always go by strain name and all the people I know do too.
All the hip-hop, wanna-be gangsta rappers (mostly white kids) that live the thug life on "the streets" of towns not more than pop 45,000 (that is Eureka, and that is the biggest) have all the cool stoner lingo.

The Bush's are not from Texas.
They are carpetbaggers.
They moved to Texas so they could exploit christian Conservatives for votes.

How did a norcal vs. socal thread turn into a bash the South thread?

Because Bush came up and it just makes it the next obvious step. The rest of us in the US like to pretend the south doesn't exist, when we are reminded it does it always has to lead to bashing.

well, allow me to reciprocate the generalization. Not just georgia, but the whole south is nothing but dumb, backwoods rednecks and corrupt racists. even the ones that aren't too dumb can't escape the fact that a southern accent reduces the percieved IQ of the speaker by a good fifty points. you never should have been allowed back into the union.

i wipe my ass with the confederate flag.

I consider this post offensive.


Insulting whole groups of people because of where they were born is immature, bigoted ignorance. No different than racism,sexixm, or homophobia.

People like to talk shit from a safe place.
