i live in Australia, and here well most of the time you get what your given, im a regular smoker and have been for about 2 years or so and i have pretty decent contacts, yet only twice have i been told the strain name of bud i was buying, i havn't had weed from outside of AUS, so i cant really compare it, but there must be some growers that know wwhat they are doing, the state i live in is about 10 years backward in terms of weed law, zero tolerance is a bitch, so that makes having access to better strains etc alot harder.
