Oh, okay. Do you remember when you started to transition to mainly top-notch bud? It's just a subject I'm curious about... I think because I prefer well-grown, well-cured midgrade all day, every day over some retardedly awesome medicinal, but I've been forced lately to choose between expensive highgrade or not smoking at all and I wonder how many people are facing the same kind of situation that I am.

That happened when I was 17 in 2001. Except for one month in the summer years ago when I was a total pothead in my early 20s, I was never a daily smoker who smoked all day everyday. I was more into smoking 1-3X a month, or just on weekends only so I would try to seek out the best since it was not something I'd be doing daily. Schwag, regs, and mid-grade were around when I was in my early 20s but there was way more of a demand for kind bud from 2001 onward so that's what you mainly saw. Also in my early 20s for a few years I didn't smoke or use cannabis at all.

If I still smoked, I'd hit up my contacts looking for the cheaper stuff. It's usually harder to find in my area, but not impossible. If you let people know you'd prefer an ounce at once of the cheaper stuff, they'll be likely to try to get some to make some fast cash. A 20 minute drive towards the city, and the quality and price of cannabis goes down.
That's funny, in a part of the US that's way far away from the UK we call usually low to medium grade weed mersh too. Short for commercial grade. Most of the rest of the US calls it schwag. It's usually Mexican weed or seeds grown from them. Sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's okay, and sometimes it's great. Usually it's better if someone grows it well, there's a good season, and/or you get it fresh from Mexico. The Mexicans seem to keep the better shit for themselves, and it hasn't been sitting in a warehouse for awhile and bricked up, crushing the seeds and trichomes and losing the flavor, if from the source.joe456 said:

I have to agree with the brick weed its really shitty and does not get me high, so we buy quality weed. Ever since they opened up the dispensaries here that is all we smoke I try to limit my self to 2-3 bowls a day. The higher quality weed is a bit more Money but its worth it!.
I can get stronger block weed than normal weed, while the cheapest type, what we call mersh, is weaker, it definitely gets me more buzz for my money, from what I've heard you have to be in the right area where people apreciate good mersh rather than dealers just selling the cheapest stuff they can get for stoners that are broke, in my area most of the stoners are black and for some reason I havn't heard of good mersh in areas where most smokers are white, most stoners in London (judging from people i meet at raves, including people much older than me) don't know weed can even come in a compressed block. I haven't had it for years but there is a type of brick weed called sess that is truly amazing, I know two people that had been smoking skunk daily for years who have passed out from it, one from just one joint, another woke up two hours later with most of it left in his hand. Its an extremely mellow buzz and is loved by Rastafarians, some of which refuse to ever smoke skunk. I've also had regular buds compressed into a block which it goes without saying was extremely potent.
and THC2LSD I know what you mean about old mersh that has lost its flavour, only had it a few times but its a lot weaker, I think in the UK its simply stuff grown over here with the buds being used for skunk so freshness isn't generally a problem.

Bomb or no go.
Dirty seedy weedy taste like harsh dirty plant material Not Always but Schwag dirt is what I am referring too....it doesnt produce a buzz......nothingings altered, besides your throat from the harsh garbage that makes you Gag

The reason cheap weed is shitty is because it isn't grown well. Pesticides and other chemicals are used to help grow it, making it less safe, I assume. I'm sure you could smoke cheap weed and be fine, I used to, but quality is definitely over quantity. Wouldn't you rather have nice-smelling green buds that have been properly grown and get you stoned?

same bro. usually i just ration out the high quality bud as much as i can... only so much in a day. its at least 4 times more expensive and i dont think i build much if any tolerance to bud....
Yeah... see, my problem is my tolerance SKYROCKETS way too easily. I'm a smoke-it-if-you-got-it kind of guy, so any attempts at rationing with bud end up in complete and utter failure. That doesn't matter with middies for me because I still have the bread to go resupply, but with the loud then I have to spend every last extra red cent I have just to grab a decent amount of highgrade and, when I run out, I'm weed-free until my next payday.
It's pretty shitty now that I really look at it... I should probably take a month-long sabbatical from the herbal just so I can start stacking a little bit of a savings up for myself and not live paycheck to paycheck anymore.

I haven't smoked or even seen mids / reggie since my early high schools days. It tastes gross, smells gross (or not at all), you have to pick out seeds (I get mad if I find a seed in my nuggets now) and it's usually really shakey and the nugs are flat... ew, that's all I can say.... ew.
Everyone I know that still smokes has grown out that phase. You eventually get to the point where you realize it's not worth it anymore, it makes you extremely tired and bogged down in like half hour, you get a 20 minute ish crappy high that doesn't come close to where you get with nice quality nuggets, and I remember it being a HUGE hassle to destem and deseed your bag. I remember when I was 15 or 16 my friends and I threw down for a half for the night and it took us like a half hour just to get all that nasty shit out. Who wants to do that?
I mean I understand if it was a financial hassle for you to buy dank, but even then I wouldn't want to match you even if you had 5x the amount I had. Even if I was offered to get smoked out for free by someone with mids I'd turn it down, it's really is that gross to me.

I havent smoked regs in at least 3-4 years ago, I live in SoCal and i wouldnt even know where to find reggie, besides the buds here taste so good, and i remember that nasty dirty taste of shwag. so for me gots to be the dankest of the dank.

i smoke green like most smoke cigs, so i couldn't afford to smoke quality..I would smoke that just as fast as regular, so i stick with that.
I used to live in the Mid West, we were a huge epicenter of a lot of really good buds.
Usually shipped from Cali, vaccum sealed and labeled with strain names. There's just so many different potencies and strains.
I try my hardest to just smoke dank, and if you stay around the grade a for long enough, you will find a cheaper connection.
Everything good is worth waiting for i suppose

Personally, I prefer a sizable quantity of quality weed, but I guess that's kind of like having your cake and eating it, too, though...
But the midgrade I'm used to in Southern Maryland absolutely shits on the fake ass "Cali"/loud/Pacquiao/exotic/fake namebrand bullshit I've come across whilst visiting other states. I don't use the term beasters and headers and shit, just lows, mids, highs, loud and medical so I'm not sure how best to describe it, but my Southern Maryland midgrade connects had BANGIN' bud for the super-low constantly and consistently. It's actually starting to come back these past couple weeks now that I've been pushing the right buttons with the right people for at least 3 months now. So cised about that, by the way. :D
i read somewhere that it i possible to get high off of it but u need a lot of em and the high is kind of different from a normal cannabis high. For that you have to know how marijuana grown and what are best quality of marijuana....

Jokes, but seriously, though: high off what?
