Sativa, Indica, Ruderalis - Is it all BS?

Yup truth.... I know for sure:amazon:
It's not just Detroit neither it's all over here in Michigan and in other states and I'm sure it's done around the world. The almighty dollar..... they will do anything to make it. They will lie to you. They will tell you anything you want to hear to make that dollar.:greencheck:
I love my state, but the shady behavior in this industry is crazy. I have never been to a dispensary and never will go in Michigan. I trust myself and thats about it around here. Peace, slow
 
Stems stems stems u r right, there was a ton of them & many times the weed would turn to powder...as u broke it up
Back in the 80s we used to get U-Haul trailers full from an unnamed Mexican cartel. That is no longer.
They used to come up with a new Suburban and one of the big tandem U-Haul trailers twice a Summer here in mid Michigan. They would do a circuit trip only stopping for fuel and designated drop-off points. They would come up from Texas and hit Michigan and Wisconsin and swing back down. There was three guys always. never the same three guys always. They had export CB radios and I'm sure they had plenty of codes. As there was always some Spanish lady saying a bunch of numbers in Spanish in late-night skip on the radio.
Some of them bricks we found fingers and ears scorpions and tarantulas rocks Pebbles dirt you name it. I think we even found some panties in one.

I've been growing my own legally since 2014 I've been the dispensary like three times in that. Of time. The weed is always expensive always. It's dry usually it's never fresh top shelf weed of some dispensaries to me is the same as dirt weed. The last time I I went to a dispensary I got wedding cake. A gram was 20. I got a 5% discount to 15 wtf. It was awful. I knew I could grow it better....absolutely... I think anybody could have grew it better. So I bought seeds from Phono Finders seeds and grew three plants right after I got the seeds and also made clones. everything that I grew and that my friends grew was better than I got from the dispensary by Leaps and Bounds. I don't think any of the weed that I ever got from the dispensaries around Lansing was worth a F@#k....

I live between the 2, closer to Detroit. I never been to a dispensary here. Many people go for edibles and extracts. Detroit has some good growers, but the dispensary practices are shady AF. But that is also because the majority are ran by the weed mafia. There is a huge link between shops, using a lot of the same products, but naming them differently. My brother gets concentrates. Some are good. Some are not. You have no idea what these peeps are doing. I lack trust. He worked at one and told me the shit they do. So I can only imagine the growing conditions and wack stuff that some people do and then sell for max profit. Im sure other states have similar issues...but I have not heard of any super high quality places here that are trustworthy. I will stick to pressing my own Rosin. And making my own Wax. I know its done right. Peace, slow

I've been doing this since 78 I've seen too much.
Oh yeah lack of trust right....dispensaries their owners and the conglomerates that own them.... there's a lot of shady business going around absolutely a lot...
when I first started out legally growing we were able to sell our overages to the dispensaries and when we could do that you could find pretty good quality weed around at some dispensaries. but since they went to "seed to sale" and using closed loop of Growers.... That r jumping through all the states Hoops for lack of a better word or words that I want to say actually.... But I had to stop my dispensary sales 3 1/2 years ago when the dispensary that I was selling to went to a closed loop of Growers that were associated with them in a business way. And I wouldn't go that way.
But They were bought out buy a larger group of dispensary owners. I think the PG group bought them out.
 
My problem is no matter what I smoke or use in edibles so far has never reduced the pain I have in my shoulder which had a traumatic injury in 1996. OTC pain relievers never work either nor Vicodin. Weed increases my felt pain and studies have shown it can increase felt pain for some people. Cortisone shots would work for about two to three years but in March I received a shot into the joint and it worked for only a few days negating the pain but some returned after a week.

It does allow me to sleep some with the pain though. I've let plants go well into amber hoping for the pain relieving qualities but haven't found them yet. I am currently smoking a Fastbuds Mexican Airlines which is advertised as a sativa and it doesn't increase my pain. Everything else I have grown must be mostly indica, I get a nice relaxed buzz.

I have thought about growing an Afghani strain out but it would have to be an autoflowering type or a fast version since I am far North in a snow belt and the area has some of the coldest temperatures in the lower 48 with a short growing season.
Sounds like your shoulder nerves are being pinched...do u have inflammation when the pain occurs or is it always there...After years of martial arts, motorcycle accidents & weight lifting which I still do I’ve been able to break up the tendon tissue (sounds like cracking/ when it breaks up) in my elbows & shoulder...My shoulder only got better when the scar tissue was broken up by excessive stretching for weeks. As u already know the shoulder is hard to stretch...
& May do nothing for u! But if u haven’t tried it give it a whirl...takes time a little more ea day.

The tendon that holds collarbone to shoulder joint is gone. Doesn't hurt constantly. But when it starts hurting it doesn't stop until I have a cortisone injection.
 
Never been & will probably never go to a dispensary...here in MO. med legal...
a little research, good seeds, & u have Buds, Hash & real Hash oil made from hash. I’m like a 59 yr old kid in candy land, thank you MO. voters, because our politicians sure the he’ll didn’t vote it in...
 
In the 1970's everything I had access to was Mexican, Colombian and once Hawaiian I got direct from the island. Those were all considered Sativa. Except for the Hawaiian, all the weed I smoked in those days had seeds.

Now, every thing I have smoked or grown is seedless so far as I either used feminized seeds or destroyed the male plants when using regular seeds. Everything I have grown has been advertised as hybrids or indicas.

For the most part I get high by smoking very little. The plants I grow give me nice yields and frosty buds and sugar leaves and is some of the best looking and smelling weed I have ever had.

But....it never gives me the same high when smoked that I always experienced back in the 1970's and 1980's when I use to get the seedy Mexican and Colombian weed common in those days. The weed of those days was more psychoactive in its effects on me. I actually had hallucinations, paranoia, couch lock where you couldn't move at all, time lapses.

I don't experience any of that with medical dispensary weed I have been given or anything I have grown. Even when letting a plant grow longer than usual.

I have been able to get that effect when I have made edibles though. But since the marijuana has to be metabolized first when ingested as an edible, it takes 30 minutes to two hours before it hits me versus seconds or minutes by smoking where it goes directly into the bloodstream to the brain.

In my opinion, that gives me the feeling that the post above holds more than a grain of truth. Any weed I consume in edibles gives me the same effects that 1970's Sativas did. All those different types of weeds I smoked and liked in the 1970's and 1980's were grown under natural sunlight in Southern latitudes, warmer climates and even when full of seeds seemed more psychoactive than today's high THC strains.
Found this blog article interesting but I have not researched its claims as to why things are not as psychoactive now.

Oh, sorry to hear it...much more serious than my healed but scared tendon ...hope something some day works for u.
(This May sound strange, but Tart Cherry Juice is a Cox-2 inhibitor reducing inflammation. Maybe a cocktail of Tart Cherry Juice & homemade CBD oil (u can buy high percentage CBD auto flower strains now, FastBuds has a 20:1 I believe)
Also, have u tried a “REAL” professional massage therapist...I use to think hocus-pocus, until my neighbor’s therapist worked on my back wow , I’m talking the kind that really know how to work on joints, scar tissue.
