Hello fellow bl-ers.
I have been here in O.D. for many years.
I never visited this part of the site until recently.
Just wanted to share my experience, cuz i found out you guys in the USA went CRAZY with all the crossbreeding, altered genetics and new strains.


I've been out of the indoor growing community for about 20 years and was just checking where the USA is today and it is unbelievable.
As an old school smoker and grower I remember the day Northern Lights appeared in our coffeeshops.
We smoked hashish and our Dutch weed (nederwiet) but the NL was there first strain, you could actually SEE the THC crystals.
No other weed on the menu, except a Thai or Colombia now and then.
In the 90s I had the chance to learn how to homegrow from the crossbreeder, who won the Highlife-cup 3 years in a row with his White Widow.
This weed was on another level already, with 19.3% THC.
But a fresh taste as weed can possibly have and an incomparable high!
The reactions from everyone who ever tried this strain will always be in my memories.
Everybody loved it.
It's almost a disgrace what they sell as White widow nowadays.
Its nowhere close to the original.
Back then all growing was done with clones, which gave very trustworthy plants.
After the 90's Dutch genetics went all over the world and we were notorious for our plants and of course 'legal' coffeeshops.
Whenever I mentioned I was from the Netherlands most of the responses were about Amsterdam and weed.
I quit growing when the laws changed and getting caught would result in loss of your home.
And here we are 20 years later.


Your laws have changed and I am amazed how many strains and producing companies there are in the USA now.
All scientifically examined and specified.
Pretty freely available and advertised.
Terpines, CBD, THC, % sativa/indica, extreme percentages...
Feminised seeds, autoflowers, led-lights..
The industry has become big and it seems like every American is doing weed nowadays.
Ya'll had some catching up to do after all these years of prohibition and war on weed.
Well, you caught up with the Netherlands.
And ran straight past us...big time.
When my American friends were showing their new guns and making me jealous, id tell them
'But we have weed!'
Now you have the guns AND the weed.
Life's unfair.


I don't see the wood through the trees anymore, as we say in Holland.
Do you actually look at all the data on your weed, before deciding what to smoke nowadays?
Or is the proof of the pudding still in the eating?
Thanks for reading, just had this on my mind for some time.
Enjoy your day.
