ok, some interesting opinions on highs, quality of, or lack thereof. firstly I will also admit to very rarely smoking a J these days; I like the thought of it, but I am not as robust as I used to be and frankly smoking feels damaging, so I mainly stick to my "magi-cakes" (edibles). smoking is an occasional treat now, be it my pinch-hitter pipe, a J, or simply holding a little ball of my hash over a flame on the end of a pin. vaping is definitely a better flavour sensation; you get the vaporised essential oil before it combusts and if the temp is just right, the flavour cant be beat. a well cured, smooth smoking bit of weed is a different type of flavour. personally I gave up on vaping; the effect was always too light and took twice the amount of weed to get me there. I used to bong on for my daily hit, and a good ceramic or glass bong is hard to beat,
IF you've got good stuff. as for different highs, well I sympathise but maybe its the stuff you've been getting. I definitely know the difference between a heavy-hitting Indican high, and a speedy, energetic euphoric sativa dominant hybrid. don't know that I ever had a 100% pure sativa, but more likely did. I grew sensi Durban a few times, but it is not the 100% pure Durban poison sativa; they crossed it with a fine Indica and then headed back to the DP genetics until it was 90% sativa. (if I am not mistaken).
plus, lets not forget to take built-up tolerance into consideration; being a long term (very, at this stage) fan of this wonderful herb, I know that if I give it a rest for a few days at least; its always twice as strong when I go back. this built up tolerance can also dull the subtleties you might otherwise appreciate. the only times in the last 10 years or so that I have stayed off it for any length of time, was down to having some kind of an unusual mega-hit for no apparent reason; often so strong it was way beyond enjoyable; in fact it was so bad one time I really felt like I was teetering on the edge of insanity and I knew I might not come back; HEAVY, and not in a good way.
ok I have rambled on again.
party on dudes.
now theres a frog that just smoked some..... haze maybe?
