Kind Green Buds Forums

Hi all. Let's see...I'm gonna guess I'm about as atypical as a forum member could be here. Smoked daily for...15 years(?) ending in 1987. Used to only deal in what we called "exotics". Thai sticks, Columbian & Acapulco Gold (Santa Marta red-gold was a fav), and then "Sinse" (Ca/HI). So I've smoked maybe 5 times in 20 years. However, a grower friend just gave me some "White Rhino". I thought he just made that up until I googled it and found this site. I tried it, and it made me very paranoid. Of course, since I'm not someone who *should* be smoking, I guess paranoia/racing heartbeat/etc is "normal." And, since I never smoke, I wonder if this stuff is all that, or whould I get that wasted off *anything*? Now I see all these different strands, and reviews on all of them. Cool stuff...but is there really that much differnce in the highs? I mean, it's all THC, right? I see descriptions of various kinds of highs...why would one strand(brand??) cause less paranoia than another...or does it? And, while I don't think I'll start smoking again (I'll find some alone time and kill this WR off), I'm curious as to how things work these days. I mean, how does one request "White Widow" or any of the other wild looking things you have here from your local dealer? (Not looking for specifics). Also, I read things like: "Today's pot is 500x stronger than years ago/etc"...how true is that? I mean, we had "one-hit" stuff back in the day...how does one do 1/500th of a hit?

welcome to the board!

the biggest difference is indica vs. sativa.. indicas have a higher CBD content, while sativas have a higher THC content / ratio.

Well...sounds like if I were to smoke, it should probably be Sativa. Oh...dude also gave me a WR brownie, which I probably should've eaten a smaller portion of.

sativa is usually a safe bet and yeh, always be careful with edibles when you dont know how strong they are

Another lesson learned back in the day (BITD in future posts...since most of my *experience* is BITD) and forgotten. There used to be a "drought" on the east coast every summer, and the only smoke we'd get was crappy "blonde Lebanese hash". Thought I was immune to it untill I ate a gram or so and went to work and wound up needing stitches when I tried juggling a ginormous knife.

In CA now. May have to look into the grow section in spring. Course, I can't even grow a decent tomato (yet weeds grow right through my cement.)
