I was hungry. And if I rolled and sold joints I could smoke and eat. Grew some weed. Got a medical card. Grew some more. Legalization. Now grow to hunt down strong new weeds that aren't around my region. Oh and I use it for burning nerve pain. And stomach ailments.

I currently am in possession of something you may really enjoy. It’s called First One and it’s 36%. Ever heard of this?

Sold bags in the 70s until one night I was at work my wife got robbed and beaten. Started growing and never bought or sold again.

I began smoking as a teen and I can say it did a few things for me and I owe alot to cannibus. To make a long story short, as all the others around me became addicted to pills or hardcore drugs and money and dealing drugs, my love for cannibus allowed me to just chill out in the house and away from trouble. It helped me to write music and sit my ass down long enough to play Xbox rather than go down the paths my peers traveled. It assisted with depression and the ptsd that came along with losing those people to addiction or prison or even those who passed from natural causes but still meant the world to me. I realized without cannibus Im pretty high strung and can be quite the D**khead and so I prefer my flower over anything that big pharma would prescribe.

I've heard of the 30%+ strains. But so far the best one I've had was mid to low 20s. And I seem to have the best tasting smoke around 21%. Around here there aren't a lot of high THC strains. I've bought some legal weed that claimed it was 28% THC..but it tasted bad. And right after it was out I rolled up a joint I grew and smoked it to get the taste out of my mouth.. so I think bias and conditioning have come into play. Trying to expand my pallets and experience. To see what I can see outside my bubble.

I have to agree with you on taste. I just tried out a 34% from a green light dispensary called Gorilla Pie, the taste was bad, the hit made you choke. Not being able to take a full hit leaves me unable to critique it’s high thca content. Will let you know about this First One in about 4-5 months.

For me I've been surrounded by weed and extracts my whole life. So I don't get "high" in a traditional sense. So I can't gauge potency. Sometimes if I'm taking dabs of extract my ears ring for a few seconds and I feel funny for a moment. I tend to only notice had much my muscles loosen up and how much reduction in neuralgia I experience. But I do firmly feel like Kush strains have a strong comforting sense of pain relief.

I’m native, firewater gets me in ALOT of trouble. On the glue better late than never although I’m more than willing to believe it smoked just fine without licking the outside lol. So, who told you? My grand babies seem to know an awful lot lol.

Do you think this happened because others knew you had “product”?

Grew up outside El Paso. Started smoking in 1966. There's two Mexican harvests basically. Fall and Spring. If you didn't buy a shitload in November it was down to buying it by the bag. Often moldy as hell.

There was a bunch of property backed up to irrigation laterals that people not only didn't use but never even went back there. So it was planting time. An old hippie (he was 42 when he got whacked in Mexico) taught a couple of us how to top and supercrop and to identify males as early as possible.

Harvests were definitely a crap shoot. The ditchriders learned to identify it and often stole it. Kept growing outdoors as I moved north after being discharged from the military in 1970. In Colorado I decided it had to be taken indoors. Bought a "complete hydroponics grow kit" from an ad in High Times in Fall 1981. Received a 400 watt street light (for real), a cat litter tray and a bag of red lava along with some little bottles of nutes and a cheap aquarium pump. Thank goodness for the internet. No more screwing like that.

It's only gone on since.

I use to smoke and pop pills, Party Hardy. Doctor put me on Hydrocodone every 4 hours for pain, had side effects but still tried taking it.

Started smoking regular but I have Barrett’s Esophagus so went to edibles.

Missouri went legal for Medical I started growing with help from my Son. It wasn’t working but I’m still learning and doing my own thing.

Right now I’m in remission from that Cancer stuff.

Barrett's isn't cancer but it's our warning. Lay off any NSAIDs or alcohol. Consider shrooms too. Low dosage. Easy enough to grow too.

Have you tried RSO yet?

I’d also be interested I’ve got major spinal issues and can’t do pain killers. I’m not asking for a hand out but I’m def interested

Is this Future #1. I don’t think I’ve heard of First One

I think you are right on that. I’m on a seed hunt right now for my next grow and recently saw a strain named that or first one. It was out of stock as I remember.
