Weed Tasters This Week: Black & Blue

I freaked a bit when I tried this one. 

I met this guy online. You could say it was a hook up, but we continue to hook up now, so I guess that's means we kind of date. 

So anyway, I invited him over a couple of nights ago, and he brought with him so much weed I could hardly believe it. 

He carried a backpack on his back that was loaded with mason jars wrapped in wool work socks so as not to damage them while in transit. The jars themselves were loaded with weed, I was later to learn each one a different strain.

I had some weed left from the night before but he would have none of using it, insisting only to smoke his weed and save mine. We talked and had the usual great round of hot sex. But the best was yet to come.

Towards the end of the evening he pulled out all of his jars and took out a jar labelled "Black and Blue". He reached in and took a pile out and started rolling. 

We smoked that joint and got incredibly buzzed off of it, making it not so much of the end of the evening as I thought it would be. After a great round he pulled out a scale and started weighing different weed from different bottles and putting it, with labels, into baggies that he got from his pack. 

When I asked what he was doing, he said he was getting sample packs ready for me. He left me with about 12 grams of samples. It was fantastic because I had just run out. Like the weed fairy came. 

From a weed perspective, I can honestly say that Black & Blue is worth a try. It took me away to a place for sure. I couldn't tell you what the actual THC percentage is in it, but I suspect it's rather high because it gave me a buzz that persisted for about three hours off of one shared joint. 

What a nice guy he must be to do such a thing. That, or he thinks I'm a whore and he has to pay me for our visitations. Either way, I'll take it. Free weed rocks my world.

Weed Hype - Cannabis Store vs. Independent Dispensary

So it's like this.

I have had the opportunity to sample a pretty broad spectrum of what the Cannabis Store has to offer. And I must say I have enjoyed all of that which I have partaken in. 

But now the "naysayers" of the Cannabis Store are cranking up about the amount of THC that is in the weed we are smoking from the weed store. 

Avid smoker and entertainer extraordinaire Rick Surette says that, where he shops, the weed has a much higher percentage of THC than that of the cannabis store, and he feels that the government should leave the independent dispensaries open so that seasoned smokers can still get their potent pot. 

"The weed that I'm getting from GG's in Lower Sackville is 22 percent THC. That's five percent higher than anything you can get at the weed store." said Surette. 

So just what is THC anyway? THC is responsible for the way your brain and body respond to cannabis, including the high an intoxication. When the marijuana plant falls below 3% THC, it is considered hemp, which is used for many industrial and textile purposes. 

Rick Surette says  cannabis store "sucks."

The proper name for THC is Tetrahydrocannibanol. THC is the main psychoactive ingredient of cannabis; meaning, it's what gets you high. 

As we move forward into the new world of marketing weed, it will be interesting to see if it eventually gets as aggressive as selling alcohol. Right now of course the government is making sure that packaging and what not is not attractive to young people who shouldn't be getting their hands on weed, even if it is legal. 

As far as the weak or strong argument is concerned, I would have to say the proof is in the pudding. Should I believe a street dealer that his stuff is better, or should I believe the government when they say their stuff is better. 

Well, the government stuff is legal, and the THC in their weed is proven by the government themselves. So, do I take the word of my old dealer who is trying to unload, or do I go with the new kids on the block? 

I think this deserves more investigation. At the time of this article, GG's in Lower Sackville has been shut down. Maybe the decision of where to buy will be made for us as more and more private shops get shut down.
