One old stoner friend has a couple of old-stoner pearls. When I was talking about picking strains for a future grow, I was all like "oooh, oooh, THIS one is the ONE that really put me on my ass that one time!
He quiped "you know man, by the time you own a bong, you probably don't get that stoned any more." Hmmm, kinda unhappy. He also says that he doesn't really feel any difference between indica or sativa, THC or CBD. It's all the same to him.He also grows and consumers about 12-14 pounds per year, pressing it into goo, and vaping it, exclusively. I don't use anywhere near that amount, and I still get fairly stoned, on occassion. But I do have to admit that I never get as high as I did when I was in high school or college.
So yeah, I'm with guys: stick with the time-proven classics. And then when you discover something special and new, try a few yourself. But you don't have to be beholden to glossy pictures and labradoodle type names.
