different strains of weed in aus...

Only real strong strain I've come across has been White Rhino, Blue Rhino and California Dream (not as strong as the Rhino's but was still some awesome shit)

In my experience most dealers don't know, it's just weed. Occasionally though someone is bound to get some awesome stuff, and often when this is the case you can find out the name.
 
Dealers will sometimes make up or adopt a name for a particularly strong type :) we've got no one that'd call them up on it and maybe don't have the luxury of going to somewhere else instead.

As Psilo said things are so much different in Canada, parts of US and Europe. I never knew about strains until I went to Canada, kinda regret doing that as I'm kind of fussy about my weed now.
 
I have been sold strains a few times but not many at all. I imagine atleast half the time it wasn't the strain it was claimed to be but just a marketing tactic for nice bud. I have at times known people to pay or charge more for name brand bud, but it is not always the case.

From my own observations/experiences weed that is sold to me as a brand name is generally great quality, there is nobody passing off shite as Northern Lights or White Rhino.

Generally in Australia though weed is weed, sometimes quality can influence the price a little bit but no more than other factors occassionally do, unless its really shit weed. It has always interested me how in America the price of weed is influenced by the grade or quality, but in Australia weed is weed, generally speaking.
 
I used to live in The Hague about 40 min from A'Dam for 3 years from 14- 17 years old (very lucky as my dad was a diplomat there). So I got to sample all the different strains of hydro, hash and haze growing up.

Unfortunatley in Aus weed although there are different strains generally does not differ that much and you get good weed to really good weed.

The good thing is that I find Australia generally has a high level grade of hydro it is more or less pretty easy to get all over OZ. There is just not as much choice and vartiety like in America, Europe.

I still go back to the Dam once a year and just had a week in October 2010 and because I pretty much get quite nice weed here I spend most of my time with the Moroccan Hash and hit the Green HOuse for some Rif cream....mmmmmmmmmm Rif cream...... as I find any kind of hash very hard to get in Aus and the only time I did was once like 8 years ago and the hash came as a pill (like a eccy) which I thought was weird but was defintily hash.

I don't know if I'm allowed to post this but I always like to post myself a 5 gram block of quality Moroccan once a year which lasts me for special occassions through out the year. I find if you just keep it to 5 grams it does not gotten picked up it the post even though every year I expect it to be the one that does not go through.

Wish I could buy it here tho as I really prefer the stone especially for sociallising and times when I don't want to completley blazed of cones but I guess half the reason is the method of Spliff vs Cones.
 
I've just picked up some 'weed' and was told it was AK-47. I've looked it up on the net and it does seem to match. Its very strong.
 
^^

AK - 47 is killer bud strain created by The famous Green House in A'dam about 10 years ago. If you really have Arjan's Ak 47 then your in for treat cause I have smoked it many times and it is like 35% THC knock you on your fuckin ass shit but with a super amazing high.

I would be wary though as i have had many people call fantastic bud in Australia by a famous strain name eg/ White widow/ White Rhino and it usually is just damn good Hydro.

Anyways sounds like you got some stinky skunky sht happening.

Enjoy
 
You wont come across legit strains unless you grow them yourself, or know of someone who does.

yeah i figured that would be the case.

i guess it does not phase me that much, have not come across bud i did not enjoy

thanks for all the input. Defiantly gotta get my self to the dam, sounds magical.

peace
 
Man idk how to really tell strains apart; i know they're there and I know there is a lot of diferent highs as outcomes from those diferent strains; how i classify my weed tho is if its hairy, sticky and light green then its probs real good; if its purpleish then its bombb and if its brown and seedy and shit then its crap; ovbiously you all know that what i just said but if they are selling you weed here in australia they only sell you either "good" weed or "bad" weed, no really ever telling strains or anything like that as a matter of fact i think ppl will start laughing at you if you ask a dealer for a specific strain or anything like that

Yeah this is true. But really there the dumbasses that hardly no shit about weed, let alone strains.

Also just like to add, nearly all commercial weed in Aus is grown using PGR's(plant growth regulators) and basically these are steroid type nutrients which pretty much poisons the plants, destroying the smell, taste, resin production, look's and the high. This stuff gives higher yeilds and that'swhy the commy growers use it. So when you come across really hard nuggets that are hairy and lack crystal's you can almost bet a PGR was put through it.

PGR weed usually gives a sedative effect and no real "high" compared to plants that havnt been PGR'ed. Unfortunatly many people have only ever had commercial stuff before and if the buds are "rock solid" they usually think they've hit the chronic, but really there smoking what americans would call "shwag or middies".

Australia have these PGR's legal, or still available in hydroponic stores and in the US and UK there illegal. To many people have never tryed a decent homegrown bud, or decent outdoor weed and that's how weed should be reconised, as smelly, crystally, sticky, potent and fresh.

To sum this PGR weed up, it's fake.
 
Hmm, interesting thread. I'm not a huge fan of weed however am always interested in increasing my drug knowledge :)

My understanding is that different stains can produce different affects, does someone have a link to a "stains to affect" chart by any chance?

Unfortunately I have to agree! But extend this to most cooks/dealers/growers. Let use (meth)amphet as an example, how many cooks actually know at a chemical/molecular level, what's happening when they "mix this with that, wait a few hours, drain this, rinse that, blah blah"? Very few I would assume!

*sigh* Ok, I'll bite. Most drug dealers/cooks don't know the pharmacology (or botany in this case) of the drug their dealing with, let alone the user. So yes, he could "Read a book" and "Research the plant" as much as he likes, but like other's have said it's not going to help if when going to their dealer and asking for particular genus (this is the correct word to use in the classification level? :\ Botany is not my forte - actually not at all! lol) they won't know themselves.

There was a better chart here in this forum at some point... I can't remember when, might have been last year or the year before.

I don't smoke weed so I wouldn't know if it's accurate. Just what Google Images threw at me. :)

With something easy and simple like methamphetamine, I'd agree that very few completely understand the reactions they are using.

There are some proper and intelligent chemists out there though. I've met a couple and learned a lot from them.
 
i've been getting a strain called "cali-hogg" for years now, its a great strain, has finished high in the cannabis cup numerous times.

i also have a friend growing purple kush, not quite sure where he got his clone from but i've smoked a few buds & its not too bad

i'm from uk & i'm used to smoking good strains, but i'd say aus in general doesnt care about the strain as much as europe & U.S. most people are happy as long as they get decent hydro with no bud-rot

a common problem with weed in aus seems to be the drying/curing process. i'm glad to have found a grower as consistent as mine as i'm not a fan of the usual grade hydro that floats around in bulk

i love weed by the way haha, if u cant tell
 
most dealers i know, occasionally have a quick search on the net for some high listed names of weed strains and pass there stuff off as that.

most growers, start from clones and dont give a shit on what strand it is, providing it grows, buds and makes them money

strands do hold a strong difference, but getting your hand on true different strands is much easier said then done, best advice is go to amsterdam, sample some of their amazing variety and perhaps look at ordering some seeds of your favourite and taking it from there :)

norther lights - for the win yeow!!!!!
super silver haze - get back to you on that!!
 
Cheese is circulating Adelaide atm, strong sativa bud with a wicked high.

They do get here but usually only if you grow yourself or know some one who grows the strains.

cheese aye, interesting... will have to keep my eyes open.
 
^ the hash more or less disappeared when the hyge took over early 90s. In the 80s it was not unusual to be offered 2-3 varieties of heads, plus hash (usually the black, but a fair bit of oil and blond too). Last couple of decades it's all pretty uniform. Less fun as a shopper but more consistent as a consumer.

In terms of qualitative effects - I've recently given up tobacco and just smoke small quantities of bud in a straight pipe. The effects are quite different - less heavy feeling and more psychedelic/creative. I think it's been mentioned in this thread already but the effects of pot are moderated by a lot more than just the strain.
 
^ Strange... I feel pot as a psychedelic most of the time, even when it's mixed with tobacco. But then again pot just doesn't mix well with me.
 
I never used too. Weed used to give me the giggles and a slightly altered consciousness and nothing else. Nowadays after quitting from abusing heavily I get very pronounced psychedelic effects. With a heavy bodyload (not sure if its the tobacco or the hyge I'm smoking etc), visuals and a very different headspace.
