About 45 years ago I discovered Lebanese hashish. Light blonde, creamy, smooth, and spectacular. Over the next few years it got sandier with every batch, but still had that familiar taste. Found a similar flavor in Santa Marta gold, then that was gone. Spent the last 45 years chasing after something similar. At its best it was creamy like a budder or wax, homogeneous, almost like hand rubbed. Inferior batches were stratified layers of sand. I don't know why I had to say this, but someone has to write down history.

never thought id be going to Lebanon

When I first moved to Colorado I was excited to get into the industry, I came prepared. I had a thousand or so seeds comprised of 4 strains that my friend and I developed in Florida during the early 2000’s. I’m talking stabilised feminised seed stock thats consistency with little deviation in phenotype and always female. It took years of work and spreadsheets but it was all worth it. I made it to the promised land I just need to fill out some forms have my small facility inspected and we’re good. Not so fast. Unfortunately for me I arrived in Denver 1 year before they changed all the laws, laws that clearly are beneficial to large corporate growers and dispensaries. People who can reach in and pull a million bux out of their pocket and not blink twice. This decision by the state to create an overly complicated system that suddenly excluded anyone with any felony record for drugs, and I’m talking simple possession. They now required that all product from seed/clone to dried product had to be tracked from seed/clone to finished product, software that could track that sort of metrics didn’t even exist. They required not only cameras but the Controllers and hard drive backup has to be in a secured room that must be inspected by the police department. Even the security room has to have a camera both inside and outside the room. Needles to say, I had to shutter my new operation 2 months after I finally got all my inspections and paperwork approved under the old system. What all this has done is hurt small owners and worse yet it’s destroying the plant it’s self. Commercial retailers/growers in Colorado are hands down the worst I’ve ever seen when it comes to strain selection. You go into the shoppes and there’s strains that you never heard of, never heard of them because they are convinced that then need to always be offering a new fresh product that no one else had. They do this by “pollen dusting”, one strain to another and coming up with a clever/ironic name. They don’t stabilise the seed stock nope just cross this with this make seeds the. Use those seeds that haven’t been stabilised to make this “new strain” worse yet they mix those together and before ya know it the genetics begins to fail not to mention do this enough and you have 30 types of product to sell that all looked taste and provides roughly the same high. Denver has gone from having couture Bougie bud growers that supplied dispensaries with premium strains that with nothing but the best nutrients harvested when the tricombe were either amber or milky and then cured for 6 months or longer for a full smooth rich taste. To what we have now, over priced commercially grown bud with questionable genetics that are usually never flushed fully, and cured poorly. Since profits are lower quality has suffered, and I fear on a long enough time line Those amazing strains war have eventually been crossed over again and again until it’s just one homogenous strain with only subtle differences but ever shoppe is going to have their own name for it. Which about sums up pot in Colorado, it’s more about the hype and image then the actual product and unique properties that it holds. Colorado image over substance

I'm so sorry to hear that, I think it's the same now in Canada

Sad we still call such a thing "illegal". Laws will never stop me from what I believe is right.

Anything you do which doesn't harm someone or someone's property is a right, the rest is put in place to keep humanity enslaved to the banksters and the black nobility. CV-1984 is the last step to complete enslave the whole world.
