Yo, whats with the herb so good it makes you puke. I mean really dude??
I sure hope you were drunk, or had food poisoning or something. I have smoked a good amount & variety of bud over the years. However, nausea was probably one of the only sensations I have NEVER had on the chron.
Wow, & you are in Kentucky payin 2 bills for zips of all those lovely names you rattled off?
Here's the thing. I grew up a few states from KY, and have met plenty of folks from there at different times thru the years.
(First allow me to say that I have nothing against Kentucky, I (and lots of my friends) just have gotten screwed by them several times. For the simple reason that what is called "the kind", "chronic", "superfunk" in KY. Only passes as such in KY.
About a year ago, my memory was refreshed by a kid a worked with (bout 25) who was from KY. And told me of all the "bomb shit" he used to get. & how much better is was for both quantity & price. After a few months of dogging the locals, his "boy" came in to town with some homegrown "Whtie Widow", "Orange Kush", and bout 3 other strands I can't remember the name of.
Here's the thing, ya'll (not you, these people of course), LOVE to slap all the names on stuff. But dude, the herbs do the talkin for themselves. Long story longer, finally I was able to lay my eyes on these jewels. IT WAS TOTAL CRAP. I mean yes, it was homegrown, but I would take mexi bricks ANY day over "Kentucky Kind". I'll spare rest of details from the KY - OG I met last year, needless to say I haven't seen either of them since they "came with the fire".
The other main instance, was bout 10 years back. One of my closesest bros lived up in the stix near Fredxburg, VA. Met this cat who was always tellin us how much we were gettin our heads beat in over prices for kind (that was a decade ago when you could actually score a q of hydro for 80-100 beans). Anyway, he had "the plan" for us. Told my buddy that he could get him all straightened & find lbo's of kind for a little over $500/ per piece (shoulda sent red flag up there) if we just drove him to his cousin, brother, some kinda relative up in the mountains of KY. Dude showed my buddy a piece of somethin that looked similar to beasters for 5bills an lb. I believe ya'll know where this is going. My buddy drove 9 hours into the moutains w/ 5K for this magical "Kentucky Kind". Evidently, he got there, dude (brother-cousin) showed a few pieces of something looking simlar to beasties again & made the purchasem (granted he was tired & road weary). Loaded up, drove home, & we about straight kicked his ars when he got back. He said he watched dude break out on the triple beams, & weight was right. But on the nine hour drive home he lost 1lb of weight (simply b/c it wasn't cured & dried properly, not to mention shitty DNA from jump street).
Anyway, I had to try & help my buddy make his money back. Probably a few of the hardest weeks of my life. Ended up swinging this trash (oh forgot, this stuff was supposed to be a mix of Northern Lights & Widows, from what brother-cousin told him). Anyway, we ended up having to make people buy zips for like 50bucks / per piece & still had a hard time even @ that. (This was when regos were only 100/ per Z, just to give you an idea.
Again, not to hate on the bluegrass state or anything, I suppose my dealings with them (there a few other instances, those are 2 most glaring) taught me truly that if it sounds too good to be true, its from KY. Nah, dude I mean no harm, & am not a prick. Just obviously these wounds run deep.
When I heard Kentcuky, saw the list of strains you rattled off like a Rotterdam coffee shop, & then saw that you only pay 2/ per zip, it brought back all this.
Have you traveled much?
Ever been to west coast & compared your standard of kind?
I mean dude, I have to pay up over 20/ per G now for the kiler. Just be weary when people break off titles for anything.
Rattle off whatever thousands of strain names ya need. It only takes 2 seconds with the nose in their to tell whats what.
If you truly are getting the funk in KY for less than 2 bills an o. You play on playa.
Because you are gettin a way better deal than a good friend that I have (tranplant of course) that lives in Lexington. Which I hear is the one of the larger cities. This is someone how has been burnin for bout 3 decades. He advises that he can't really buy anything there, and that my past experiences are right on.
And don't give me the "it's who ya know" shiz. As this dude has been in Lexington for over 10 years now (married into it), and has spent his entire life procuring contacts in this culture, here at home & wherever he goes. He's one of those, "this culture is his entire life" kinda deals.
And after 10 years, he still says that in KY he can't burn it if he didn't cure it.
But you stay up, thats my humble 2 cents of experience. Maybe just hopin someone can learn from my experiences.
