I can definitely agree with that man. For a while, I thought the best buds were only in cali until I travelled out to LA. Kind of ironic lol. Anyways, back here when I smoked (had to quit for legal reasons), I was getting all sorts of great bud. Not only good bud but relatively decent genetics behind them too. Some of the high grade was a little dry here or there but as far as high, it wasn't noticeably different that a sativa I managed to procure in cali from a stranger. He gave a nug to me for free. Don't get me wrong, that weed was awesome, however, it wasn't so awesome that I felt like I was missing out back home which happens to be quite far from cali and not a medical state.
