Hi all,
Im an old guy, smoked back in the 80's took a break for 30 years and am back to smoking a little herb. Ive been around the "new school strains" with you young whipper snappers and I have to tell you, I hate stinky strains. WTF happened to weed? It smells like a nasty skunk, I hate it.
So, WTF is this old crazy F talking about? Smelly weed can be a big problem if your trying to stay low key, (by that I mean not broadcasting that you a stoner)... My friends are always tellimg me my car smells like skunk and I'm carrying small sealed 1/8ths. This is not good if you get pulled over. (even in a legal state)
So, back in the 80's we would get some great sinsemilla from time to time. The smell was sweet like honey and citrus, think of the smell of a dollar bill---very close. The weed smelled delicous and you could carry a 1/2 ounce without anyone knowing. It was very potent as well, I'd bet 15-20 percent. Not quite as strong as some of your skunk strains, but close.
Now I remember when "skunk" hit the streets. It was HUGE and very potent. I hated it back then too, and prefer the nice mellow smelling strains. Is this what happened? Did skunk make its way into many of todays strains? Dammit !
Luckily for me, there is Northern Lights, Master Kush, Durban Poison. (still very stinky after cure but a LOT less skunk smell...) Any other recomendations or am I best off to just stick wth the old classics? (I know there may be some skunk genes in the strains Ive mentioned, but they are much lower in odor than most--even with skunk in the mix.)
(Last thing, yes I have a carbon stash bag and yes it works... But when you grind your bud, the Pepe Le Pew lingers for HOURS...)
