Can anyone else not smoke marijuana anymore?

Honestly, the weed of today is no good anymore. Almost EVERY smoker will almost curse you out for saying that…but it’s true. The weed we had back in the 70′s was AMAZING compared to today’s stuff.

Now granted, the weed today looks good, smells good, tastes good blah blah blah. But who cares? WHAT IS THE HIGH LIKE? It seems everyone is so caught up on the appearance, texture, resin count etc but have forgotten about what the main point of it all is. To get you high and give you a good time!

The strains we had in the 70′s weren’t even buds at all. Most the time, it was just dried brown leaves…with TONS of SEEDS! We would share a joint or two among 5 people and everyone within minutes were laughing hysterically with tears down their faces. Many of times the entire high just consisted of everyone laughing for close to 2 hours. IT WAS FUN! It never produced anxiety, panic attacks like today’s strains do. It never gave you “couch-lock” or laziness. It put you forward, gave you confidence and inspired you to greatness! “It was an instant good time” The munchies we got on the stuff was incredible. We would literally raid the kitchen and clean every cupboard out. If we went to a grocery store while high….WATCH OUT! We would eat everything in sight!

I believe the problem with today’s strains lies in how it’s being grown. All the breeders are growing the plants in the wrong way if you ask me. Their torturing them. They force the budding cycle, then kill all the males and grow just the females. Of course some of the females may go both sexes in a last desperate attempt to make seeds, but hell, they mess with them also. So in the end, were all just smoking tired and sexually frustrated plants! No wonder the high is shit…the plant is unhappy.

Many people, especially younger people that can’t argue because they weren’t around then will call BS on this. They will act like they know exactly how to grow cannabis. Well, mother nature grows it just fine and I can almost guarantee has the better recipe for growing it properly.

You NEVER see seeds in today’s strains. That’s because the breeders are not letting the plants reproduce! And now they have “feminized” seeds which I don’t know how they altered the genetics, but can now produce seeds that don’t even have males in them. WTF is that!? Plant mutilation!

I noticed a decline in the quality of the high in the beginning of the early 90′s. That was the last time I actually got some fun stuff. I was 45 at the time.

A lot of people will say, “well everything is more fun when you young.” This is somewhat true…but then why don’t I see any of today’s “young” kids laughing their asses off when their high on today’s “good” shit?

I go to Hempfest every year in Seattle and it’s just a big joke. Everyone is just walking around all zombie-fied, tired, anti-social and weird.

Believe me when I say something has gone terribly wrong with the weed of today. It’s too bad too cause I would still be a smoker. All my friends agree too. The fun high is long gone. I think these plants have gotten stepped on over the years and generations that getting the plants back to their natural ways is probably impossible.

Such a shame…

@greenalke1, That’s actually really interesting. I’ve never heard a viewpoint like that on this subject. I dig it.

Difinetly the same as Manimal.. It was just fun and games the first years, but it turned out to have a negative effect.

I’m the same way. I used to love cannabis. It fueled my thoughts and felt great. Now I just get paranoid and just sit there. I occasionally love smoking maybe half a bowl and meditating. The problem is everyone I know LOVES to smoke A LOT. I don’t…

But I’m with you on the mushies. If I wanna talk for hours about bizarreness, mushrooms are the way to go. Definitely my new favorite drug by far.

@mackdaddy37, Word to that.
