In 1999 or 2000 i lived in the Hudson Valley and one of my close friends was a serious stoner, the snobby type who knew every dealer around. We were talking on the porch of a pizza place i used to hang at, place was closed. He pulls out this little bag and says 'they call this stuff church, it's from the city'. I looked at it, small bright green nugs, nothing special. We smoked it and it was alright, but I always remembered that name and assumed it was The Church from Greenhouse Seeds once I heard the name again. I would think if Uptown Haze was called Church it was probably The Church, or at least some batches of it were.. no?
In 2005 I had a connection in New Paltz NY who was a college student and brought up pounds of Trainwreck and White Rhino from Long Island. I also had a girlfriend from jersey, years later (2009ish) and she had a dealer in the city named Vic Green. I saw him once, he had a large list of clientele, hired young kids with backpacks on bicycles to deliver. His menu was Super Silver Haze, Sour Diesel and something else I can't remember. Living where I did I always wondered if most of the weed was coming up from the city, down from Canada, or was grown locally. It was probably a mix... ahh those were the days.
Now I wouldn't hit a joint at a private party for pot snobs, the days of me trusting dealers and pot from who knows where is long gone. I don't even trust dispensaries. Its my own or the highway.. Screw you guys I'm going home..
