kool that asian strain sounds interesting.....
Some of the Southeast Asian landrace strains were incredible. When my brother in law returned from Vietnam he first purchased two very large stereo speakers and crammed them with Dalat and also with a big bad of Dalat so he could grow his own when he got home. His plans were to become a botanist, which he did, so he figured he could grow some really incredible herb using the Dalat seeds.
I saw hardened party commandos, major tokers almost crying for their mamas after only one or two hits of Dalat. After only one hit I was sitting on a couch petting a dog and thought I was in my home petting my dog rather than being in my brother in laws home petting his dog. When it hit me I totally freaked. I felt more lost than I had ever felt before. I could not understand it because I knew I was in my home petting my dog and half wondered if I had passed out at home, was taken to my brother in laws home and woke up on his couch and started petting his dog before I realized my location had changed.
That didn't happen. I had been there all day. I couldn't tell where I was. I couldn't tell the difference between my doberman and his afghan hound, I couldn't tell the difference between my home and his ... and I was not new to toking, I was no lightweight, I had been smoking for roughly, give or take a few months, four years by then.
I know someone who has access to the same high grade herb that people like movie stars and other entertainment industry people smoke. It is the son of an entertainment attorney who smokes pot and purchases from the same people as his clients do and his son gets the same stuff. His son was the college roommate of one of my friend's son and I have purchased through him a number of times. I have smoked a handful of those strains many times and they are without any doubt damn good ... but not one of them has done to me what Dalat did. Not one. Not one single one.
Most people today have no idea of how potent some pure landrace strains of the past were.
As Reeferman's description of Phnom Penh goes .... "Crossing to a Thai x Haze father
tames the wild sativa just a little bit, with out losing the psychedelic stone..." but he still ended saying; "
Not for beginners."
I can attest to the wildness of at least one the jungle sativas. Incredible would fall far short of describing it.
I have grown and smoked Phnom Penh and I would not say it is up there with Dalat but it is not something you would want to pick to turn a friend on for the first time, or the second time or the third time, etc. If someone knows how to grow and has a very good setup where the conditions are as near to optimal as they can be made when growing inside, or if they live very far south and can grow outside, and know how to grow, what you will get will be awesome. If someone is not a good grower, has an average or below average setupthey may still be fairly impressed, but their results will be enough different that they will not be knocked on their butts and totally stunned by what they smoke. If you are a damn good grower, and I mean a damn good grower and not just someone who thinks they are, and if you know how to tickle every last bit of potency out of genetics, when you smoke that stuff you will end up saying HOLY SHIT ... and meaning it for real!
