One thing they all have in common? Theyre all in that 15-20% thc range, they all have an entourage effects of cannabinoids present. They all require a little bit of mindfulness to keep your tolerance managed so you can actually enjoy them for what they are, being the most enjoyable to smoke cannabis genotypes ive personally ever consumed.


A thing (most) the new, super high test THC sativa strains have in common: If you manage your tolerance enough to enjoy the strains i personally like the most, most all the modern high testers are all tense, and full of anxiety and discomfort. Theres very little comfortable effects in those plants if you have low tolerance. To even enjoy most of them at all, i have to keep a daily heavy smoker tolerance. And even then, most make becoming agitated or annoyed easier then just staying sober and 90% of the people smoking them are';t even mindful enough with THC intoxication to even notice they do this at all because they dont even get high anymore. All it really does at that point is affect mood and productivity negatively when you *dont* consume it, and theres nothing even left to enjoy when you do.

And if you try and smoke some oldschool, truly great genetics with a tolerance like that, your tolerance is so high you'll just think its crappy weed that just made you slightly tired.

There are absolutely people who arent going to be fans of the peaceblaster f2 here, because sitting in that 16-20%ish range, theres def several growers here who probably wont even smoke on it after they grow the pure PB's because its not as strong as their other weed regardless of the qualities of the high. Amnd its a rauncvhy, oldschool, skunky, chemmy stank fest. Doesnt taste like a fruit salad or hard candies. It tastes like cannabis. Mark my words lmao. Smoking weed like this is somewhat pointless when you smoke a half dozen finger size bombers a day full of top buds from modern OG kush and cookies or something lol. But then again some of them prob love blue dream too, and for me, blue dream is like smoking air for me. Just buy a nicotine free blueberry ecigg if you want that experience lmfao. I feel like The only reason heavy smokers like blue dream is because nothing gets em stoned anymore so they dont realize its pretty mediocre because it tastes like blueberry pancakes "so it must be dank" or something 🤣

I would grow very different plants for a deadhead and oldhead crowd then i would for the gen y/z crowd, thats for damn sure.

Ive only had like 2 or 3 plants that id say likely go over that 25% or so thc threshold, that actually had reliably enjoyable highs even with a low tolerance. And thats in my entire growing "career" to boot. More new smokers would enjoy the herb if 9/10 plants werent literally psycho-stimulant messes without a tolerance, and if more seasoned smokers were educated on this.

Without a heavy tolerance something like a peaceblaster and a ghost train haze might as well be different drugs entirely, much as the names definitely imply. They actually share very few effects, even the timeline of come up and come down would be totally different. They are more different from each other then acid is from mescaline.

Gth is always my favorite example, because even with a tolerance, theres very little to enjoy about that one other than shear potency alone.

people wonder where the oldschool strains went, and why the modern ones arent as good, but even if an oldschool great smacked most people upside the forehead, they'd probably just talk shit about it after they smoked it or just be in total denial it was even a real deal. 9/10 of today's smokers that smoked down a doobie of true oaxaca or true columbian mountain land race, would think you ripped them off with some hemp or ditch. i know because ive been accused of such. the 25%+ thc michoacan and columbian golds in the dispos.... those are not true michoacan and columbian land races lol. They hit something modern and high test with the pollen from the land race, then backcrossed a lineage that shared physical traits til they had a stable seed to sell you, and they called it columbian/michoacan gold. And they did that so you wouldnt complain about its potency when you grew it (and because most growers will straight murder a land race plant to a crisp trying to flower it indoors under something as obnoxious as an LED panel/bar) 🤣

My 2c
Blue Dream is popular because it’s a large yielding plant. It isn’t a great strain, yes it tastes good and smells good, but the high is definitely lackluster and as a sativa dominant strain I usually find it to be anything but sativa dominant. Maybe in plant characteristics and bud structure, but most of the Blue Dream Ive consumed eventually leaves me in a sedative state ready for a nap. Even the stuff I grew did this to me, and I typically burn through my sativas five times quicker than any hybrid or indica strains, yet I still have a jar with one giant kola of the stuff from 2021 stashed away. Which only adds to the sedative effect it has.

Every blue dream genotype ive grown, ive ended up making some dabs for myself then giving away or selling most of the flower.

Ive personally seen blue dream test at 28% thc in facility, and still barely get me high at all, while everyone around me was raving about the batch. Ive been told i wouldnt know good weed if it smacked me upside the forehead over it hahahaha. Funny thing is, i would say the exact same to them 🤷‍♂️

Growers in the facility were talking about how this blue dream cut was the prefect example of yield meeting quality and whatnot. And how rare it is or whatever.

imho, hard nope. One of the best examples of an all show no go sativa ive ever smoked.

I’m excited to try growing this strain, was gifted a pack from @TheGoldenRoad last Christmas and plan on splashing my beans on 7/4/25 this year 😉 I think you are a few weeks further along than he is, and I love seeing both of your posts showcasing the strain. That bud looks amazing and almost silver from all the trichomes. Good job 👏 I hope you give a detailed smoke report when she’s ready.

It’s usually the first strain listed if you google high yielding plants, or at least top five.
 
I personally am into landrace strains because of nostalgia. I live in a prohibition state, but am literally surrounded by states with recreational cannabis and dispensaries. I don’t shop at the dispensaries based on the highest thc content, but mostly because of the variety and availability of strains that exhibit sativa like characteristics. There is a rampant demand for strains that test high on thc which is mostly due to a general lack of knowledge about cannabis and how it affects people. People who didn’t dare consume the devils lettuce until their government said that it was okay. I have zero respect for these people and liken them to people who don’t consume alcohol until there 21st birthday. Unfortunately these people are driving the market and causing the over hybridization of cannabis, which in my opinion essentially waters down the experience. Some of the best weed I’ve ever smoked out of a dispensary was a 14%thc pre roll of Purple Haze, although it’s not a landrace per se, it’s an old enough well established genetic that it has a personality. I have also smoked plenty of stuff that tested well over 30% thc that was lacking in any personality or unique experience. So I strive to get back to my roots as a 90’s kid who smoked countless ounces of brick weed, mids, and beasters in the pursuit of getting high, all the while having the time of my life. I know that those nameless strains of yesteryear were more than likely landrace strains and they got me higher than any of these new fangled hybrids that flood the market nowadays. So to sum up this long winded rant: NOSTALGIA 🤣
WE absolutely need Landrace Strains to survive!☮️🌍.

It's the same as preserving heirloom seeds of watermelon 🍉

When I shop occasionally at local dispensaries, I sometimes get a bud tender who doesn't really know their stuff.

They'll say stuff like "This is some good shit right here, very dank".

That REALLY doesn't do anything for me.

Tell me the DEETS🙏🏼

What is the Terpene Profile?
Who are the parents of this strain?
How much Is Indica and Sativa?
Does it have CBD, CBN?

I find that if I don't know who the parents are or what the Terpenes are, I'm taking a GAMBLE.

I'VE RAN ACROSS A LOT OF BAD WEED LATELY, bad for me, because it didn't agree with my biochemistry.

Terpenes react differently for everyone.
Every aspect of the plant ☘️ medicine Matters!☮️

There's nothing worse that a bad high, I tried some DOSILATO once and it MADE me jittery, anxious, and irritable for DAYS after! 😭

Columbian lineages imho (the skunky, chemmy, raunchy sativas), have both greater yield, and smoke quality potential then the blue dream lineages. helluva lot easier to get ahold of legit blue dream genotypes though. Every seedbank has a totally different plant, and indica/sativa ratio, and description of effects for their "columbians" lmfao. Half the most popular seedbanks call their columbian an indica. 🤔


True Columbian lineages definitely wont smell and taste like blueberry pancakes and lemonade though either..... 🦨🦨🦨🦨


(Also, the columbian land race is not an indica 🤣 🤣)

This was a random Barney’s bag seed that was like this puny thing in veg and took off in flower and like quadrupled in size. I took no clones of it and now I’m pissed it should be able to reveg. I plan on taking it a little early just to guarantee the reveg because now that I know how it grows I wanna do a nice run of a few of them.

I was surprised it almost put off no smell early on but steady packing on trichs now it’s got a light lime haze with a funky background. light but very complex beautiful smell. I’m very excited for the smoke.

You strike me as someone who makes better decisions when you have all the information first. Can I suggest looking at the menu before making a trip to the dispensary. Most decent dispensaries have good interactive features on their online menus that can take most of the guesswork out of decision making with 50-100 strains to choose from. Why base a purchase off a complete strangers opinions when you seem to already know what you do and don’t like in a cannabis strain.

I wonder where the fruit and sweet terpenes originated, are they a byproduct of hybrids or was there always strains with these terps?

thai, straight up. the columbian really only get sweet or fruity with certain crosses, and even then its pretty uncommon. They are the skunk, chem, stanky, raunch-factor side of the sativa world. Wild land race hemp tends to have very sweet, cherry-like, and sometimes citrusy notes as well.

ive only had 2 columbian crosses go sweet. PB1 was like skunky bubblegum. Banjo x columbian pheno i just ran smells like skunk and grapes.

And everyone knows what the afghans brought to the table. Especially if you've tasted oldschool bubba or the modern gelatos (theyre close, but def more complex then the old afghans and kushes). They bring that unrealistically dank earthy flavor. that is neither sweet nor raunchy. More flavor then smell usually, the smell they do have is a sharp, penetrating, very distinctly cannabis smell. Nothing else smells or tastes like them. I tend to usually describe the flavor as afghan, or "old bubba" because its the only way to describe it.

That's true, I do use the menu occasionally.

But nothing beats being able to SMELL your weed.

If my nose 👃🏼 doesn't like it, my body and brain probably won't either.

But sadly many dispensaries won't let you smell the bud before you buy now.

Once my plants are established I have no problem giving you some fresh cuttings. We live close enough to arrange something, I remember you offering me some cuts of the Pineapple Express you have. I will remember you more than likely, but if you see me posting after the Fourth of July 🇺🇸 just remind me, we’re gonna let freedom ring 🔔

Well I'm not entirely sure about which Terpenes I don't like yet.

I do know I don't like spicy, gassy buds.

Sour Diesel is one of those, it isn't a pleasant experience for me.

I have never been to a dispensary where I could smell a product before buying it. I think there’s too many regulations here on the east coast to allow unpackaged product.

Yeah even the afghan auto that I grew was straight up earthy tasting and smelling, but that lil girl was all sorts of messed up, really nitrogen sensitive and light sensitive too. She foxtailed unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. I only grew it because it germinated, from an old purchase from growers choice seeds, which I came to the conclusion that they weren’t as reputable as they claimed to be, so I just stopped using them.

You havent been to tennessee in a bit have ya. They arent just growing weed in storefront windows anymore...


Dude they just have jars of weed out on the counters now. You can shove your face in before you buy all you want. Tbh, its kinda gross, theres a reason you dont do that in retail environments, but its weirdly satisfying to be able to. Theyll pull out a literal bucket of pure thc-a crystal and sell you 2 grams for like $20 to spike your 8th of medical grade flower you just hand picked for yourself if you want. Half the places literally put the shit in a plain ziplock bag now and weight the stuff with tweezers and a scale right in front of you.

imho, hard nope. One of the best examples of an all show no go sativa ive ever smoked.

I tend to think we have developed expectations of the effects of cannabis and when a strain doesn't meet those expectations we write it off as a dud. I justify my weed use with the medical benefits I enjoy but it's also about the recreational value too. I found strains like Blue Dream and Durban Poison are better for productivity and creativity and best enjoyed early in the day. I'll still toke a Sativa at night or smoke a couch locker first thing in the morning but before I even reach for a jar I have a general idea which direction I want to go and I'll pick something out that's suitable and capable of taking me there. If I just want to get stoned I'll pull nugs from different jars and ride the entourage train, lol.

I'm a daily toker, wouldn't say I'm a heavy user. Daily uptake total is probably about 150mg and my own weed still occasionally gives me green outs.
 
I'm an indica lover and can't get enough of the terps of ones like Granddaddy Purple
20250525 154625
20250525 154657
20250525 154606

Grapes and berries and gets me right with the world😉

No fan of Blue Dream. Had it several times and never tasted like Blueberry but I get Blueberry Hash Plant (gotta mix that shit with INDICA🤣) and it lights my world.

High THC can be a big plus in medications like edibles and body oils especially when mixed with CBD😉

But for me I smoked that shit from Mexico smashed into bricks full of stems and seeds. That was my first foray into sativa. But when that first wide leaf squat plant hit my blood stream I was hooked. Northern Lights #2 was my go too when avaliable and there was GDP. 18% THC that I could smoke all day and some days I do🤣

I've tried my share of sativas and haven't found any that gave me energy so I stay with the fat leaf. I also can't stand waiting 3 months for a plant to finish 8 weeks is too long🤣
