I try not to hop on the bandwagon 2 much with the "flavors of the month" that alot of heads get worked up over,at least until I've had a chance to get more info(or try it!!!)before I go by the latest "High Times" centerfold. I love bud shots as much as the next guy,and I know for the repressed kb virgins out there who like to spank it to big,colorful shots of trichome covered green/red/purple etc. nugs of mother natures finest head stash strain hype has it's purpose.
We all know those sorry,sad people who can't keep a houseplant alive,are too broke to afford the 'kind',or don't have access to anything but dry,moldy,seed-filled Mexican bulls#$t bricks that give you dry-mouth and a headache(maybe you/we were/are one of them!),and can surely sympathize. But,there comes a time in life when you have to ask yourself "do I wanna smoke fat blunts of garbage with the corner boys and high school kids,or do I want THE BEST??" I think the answer to that is obvious.
I've been smoking for 21 years now.I started when I was in 8th grade when I raided my moms BF's stash and went for a walk. I got high my first time(most people tell me they didn't)and when I got back to my nana's I found the meaning of 'bliss',being stoned out of my gourd and scarfing down a big plate of hand-made linguini with gravy and meatballs that she started cooking at 5a.m.,like she did faithfully every sunday until she died(R.I.P.).I was 13 years old,did ok with the girls,had just discovered skateboarding,punk rock and Jerry so after a cpl hits off my 1st joint and a belly full of Italian goodness I officially became a 'stoner'.
A couple of months later Jerry and the Boys came to Gillette(err I mean Foxboro,no Sullivan,wait-Shaeffer maybe??)stadium which was only a mile away from my house and I was working the lot across the street prior to the show. My buddy and I were gifted and whisked into the show thru the backstage area,where as my very 1st LSD experience began to hit me,I saw Jerry tuning up as I was pushed along into the rest of the crowd. I haven't looked back since!
I've smoked every strain I could in those years,from the 4 finger skunky red-haired $50 bags I scored in 87-89,to the soapbar hash,imported blonde Lebanese Hash wrapped with a seal on the slab,green pine smelling oil I was lucky to get in thin brown vials in the early 90's,bowls of freshly sifted kief a co-worker used to blaze with me while I was still in High School right up to the elite strains my friends or myself have grown today. I've tasted alot,but I've always searched for that 'Holy Grail' we're all looking for. Fortunately,my sampling has been extensive though I have a few that are yet to enter my lungs. I haven't had any pure Haze(I grew Arjan's Haze#2+UltraHaze#2,though I don't think those qualify-correct me if I'm wrong)or any OG Kush,to name a few but I have tried enough to know what I dig. KKSC,Giesel,the Chem's,MSS,Real Deal ECSD NYSD,Trainwreck,bubblehash,BHO,QWISO are not foreign to me,and I had enough good Roadkill back in the day to use as comparisons.
This is what now leads to the title of my thread,Bubba Kush(and it is a love story). I went out to Cali for my 1st time 2 years ago to be the best man for my friends wedding.
As soon as my wife and I landed at LAX we met up with an old roomate who now lives in Venice Beach. She knew we were coming,and only an hour after landing I had an 1/8th of Bubba Kush and a gram of BK bubble. I had never heard of the Bubba(at least that I could remember),but i had tried some other Kushes but this was something special. The smell,taste and high were out-of-this-world.After one bowl between 4 of us,I had found "the best fu$#ing pot I've ever smoked". I hadn't even tried the bubble yet,which was also a first for me.I've had commercial and imported hash plenty of times,as well oil,but the bubble also rocked my world.
We had to drive 4 hours north to the resort/spa where we were staying,and as my wife drove I had my nose in that sac the whole way. We got there late but were psyched to find it was located on a natural spring with our own private hot spring jacuzzi. I don't need to elaborate here
.
I had rehearsal the next day,and since I was in Cali,I did as the natives do and smoked a bowl of the bubba and bubble. The wedding was held at the spa so I went out to the courtyard with my "me so horny" squinty eyes,STINKING to 'high' heaven. Now,the groom wasn't a toker which I knew of course but I had no idea that EVERYBODY else they knew weren't either.
As I strutted up to the group to say hello and give hugs,I could feel the eyes upon me with my shit-eating grin on my face.I'm sure the Bad Brains shirt and the toothpicks holding my eyelids open didn't help either.Paranoias a bitch ain't it? Needless to say,my friend politely asked me to refrain from toking on the big day(the next morning)which I of course,politely did(ok I smoked just a little but....)and pulled off a great speech which received thunderous applause(really,it did!I wasn't THAT high!).
I managed to smuggle the remnants back via plane,narrowly escaping the dog being used back home at Logan casually sniffing around the terminal.
I never forgot that taste,smell and high! I soon started growing,had some great bud,but none compared.I think I had found my 'grail.'
Luckily though,thanks to a kind fellow ICMAG'er(u know who you are!!!)I received a pkg in the mail containing 3 Bubba cuts and a nice sample as well.One puff and I was back!!!!
All 3 cuts made it,and are doing great.Two are still under 24/0 waiting to be moved to an outdoor spot at mi madres this week after I take some clones,and the other I started to chop yesterday.I feel like a 14 year-old trying to get a condom on waiting for these sticky,dense nugs to dry. i cheated,and threw a semi-wet piece to spark and voila!!! that flavor was there! I can't wait!
Sorry about being so long-winded but this IS a love story,and it's not the same unless you're the one in love,right?
If anyone wants to dispute my choice,just PM me and I will HAPPILY send you my safe addy to be proved wrong(please do!LOL)or if you want me to fill in those missing blanks(cough,cough,OGPUREHAZE,cough,cough)too.
Most of all thx to my friend over at the East Coast Croppers for brightning my daze...........
Bubba K.....a luv story
