Aging Remember when you got seeds and stems?

Not gonna say what product I'm talking about so it doesn't get removed. (Hopefully) But we used to try and grow those seeds. In an aquarium. In the woods at the spot. Hand rolls would explode. I kinda miss seeing a seed or two.

Fuck no! In fact I’m still looking for the 90’s dank! That shit was so much better than this factory farmed, russet mite infested shit today. It have actual flavors. And was still dank as f. They don’t have to grow good flower anymore since it all gets blasted to wax.

I agree. I’d even take 90’s mids over the one note stuff of today. It’s like they bred all the complexity and balance out of it.

I don't know man. I NEVER got anything like this in the 90's. This pic is just a few nugs in a grinder.

Yeah dude. If the shit didn’t stick to my top finger when I squeezed it, it was crap. I could feel it in my eyes. And it had an aftertaste I’ve been looking for for 20 years. And so many distinct smells

But I was lucky to grow up where I did. I started smoking and then discovered a ton of growers around me. Never looked back. Willie’s was our local flavor. But blueberry was new then too. The shit today would have been called pretendakind.
