First Timer! Is this good Weed?

Bottom drawer Mexican. May get you buzzed, but not a good example, if indeed it's your cherry popper. Don't plan the future based on this low-grade strain of cannabis.

I've seen pencil shavings look better than that poop! But everyone starts somewhere. Enjoy the buzz

Pencil shavings! That's it . . . couldn't think of that for the life of me . . . weed like this usually tastes/burns like pencil shavings.

Basically, that's ditch weed. Although it will get you stoned it won't be the best high... Look in a High Times magazine to get a decent idea of what REALLY good buds look like.

Basically you want to look for the following:

Smell:
Weed has TONS of different smells ranging from VERY potent to kinda smelly. The basic smells are a piney scent, a skunky scent, and a fruity scent. Look for the bud that smells a lot. If it has a potent smell it generally means it's atleast some beasters (commercial weed. It's decent but not the best)

Sight:
-You don't want a bunch of little plant matter that looks like it just fell off the stem (this is called shake). You want buds or nuggets.
-Look for buds that look like they are covered in crystals. These are the resin heads (the majority of where the THC is stored).
-Make sure it's green or purple-ish. Green buds generally mean they were recently harvested and cured and are delicious to smoke. Brown buds a.k.a. 'brown frown' is shitty bud that sucks. Don't ever buy brown frown.
-Try to buy buds that are fluffy and not compressed. Compressed weed is generally stuff that was grown quick, packaged quick, and sold quick. It generally sucks altogether but I have VERY occasionally got a hold of some nice condensed bud.
-NO seeds! If the weed you're buying has a lot of seeds in it then it's not going to be good quality. This is because seeds are produced when a male plant pollinates a female plant. When that happens the female plant stops producing THC and starts to make seeds. Occasionally when a plant is about to be harvested it will try to produce seeds when it thinks it is going to die but VERY few or next to none are produced.

If I forgot anything add to the list.

I never knew my stuff until I relocated.....there are soo many @$$es and morons out there.....

I remember the first time I had smoke some.....problem was I had no idea what the hell I was doing I trusted these so called "friends".....everything went blurry....i started to hear loud-as-hell beeping (exactly like hearing a heart monitor).....the sound of people screaming.....

...........the end result......I was immobile, and stuck in the fetal position for several hours......

....what really got me is how those morons revealed to me what they had put in my weed......coke, meth, and PCP.....those goofs laced a bowl with windex too.....

......the moral of the story here bud is this: If you have decent friends, you'll be doing fine....but IF your friends' are the type to ask: "Wanna smoke Javex (bleach)?".....stay far away....

Just my .02
