Best 5 bags of buds ever

I just jotted down my fav 5 bags of bud i had ever bought in my life and a short story describing it. I tried to find another thread on here for the topic but couldn't. Anyhow, i'm 33 and have been smoking since 1995. I just started growing a year ago so i was a consumer for many years now. i prob smoked on average 6.7 days a week in that timespan. i've spent a lot of money on weed through the years in a lot of different places traveling etc. First agenda on every vacation was securing a bag of pot for my journey. that meant finding dealers, getting ripped off in spain, almost in fights in maui and mexico, almost arrested in maui, etc. lot's of fun!

sorry for rambling, back to topic ----> Best 5 bags of bud you have ever bought. (not grown yourself or given to you, etc. we all started somewhere before growing unless you're a lucky hippie kid)

5. Haze - 2007 from a dealer in houston, tx that supposedly sold to beyonce etc. he got it from cali. straight fire little nugs that would keep me high 3-4 hrs clear headed and focused.
4. Crippie - 1998 originally from miami, fl. my old roomie in college would bring it back to school when he went home during holidays. 1st time i smoked it i didn't move and was high for 4 hours. dense nugs, cool bluish colors, really smooth smoke, imagine blue dream-ish way back.
3. Maui Waui - 1997 from a dealer in a ABC store maui. it smelled like a light fruity tea, i thought it was fake until i smoked it. only bought a little bag (3 gr) but it lasted me for a week! i even brought some home to show friends.
2. Silver Haze - '03 in amsterdam at Green House i think... i asked for a pure sativa and got it. silver dense nugs with a crystal dust on it and that would keep me high, alert, heady, smiling, and taking in the scenes for hours. Van Gogh museum was crazy visual on this stuff. i almost thought i was in his paintings.
1. Aztec Gold - 2001 in interlocken switzerland. it was a head shop like place i remember and was kind of covert. wasn't legal, but decriminalized i think. he only had 6 stains or so. i asked for sativa and he recommended a local grown aztec gold grown in the mountains behind him he pointed. best stuff ever. purple stem, purple leaves, all light purple buds. sativa looking long thin buds but the smoke was so uppy and calming at the same time. pure euphoria - i was in heaven.

Best stuff I ever smoked was from a grower my brother's friend knew. It was called Phoenix. Not sure of the real name, but it was stinky. In your pocket you could definitely smell it in the entire room. When it was in a jar open it for only a second, and you could smell it in the entire room. Most potent stuff I've ever smoked. Would love to know what it was.

I never really believed the names i was given before. After the weed had been grown and passed along to the dealer I got it from, it had prob switched hands 3-5 times and had as many names already. remember the game telephone?

Best stuff I ever smoked I grew, nothing beats the price of freedom and nothing tastes as good as something you put 90 days into, that said I would go with either the Sour Diesel or the Super Silver Haze thus far!!

The first 5 bags of good dank buds I ever bought in my youth. Who ever would have thought back then you could roll a joint with the lights off (ever roll a joint from a bag of some crappy mexican brick in the dark?) snap crackle and pop would come stir my cereal. My first good bag was in like 91-92 of original northern lights in NYC from a moose looking gentleman named "Moose"

The first 3-6 years of my smoking career was mostly mexican schwagg. the worst was when a seed blew up in your pipe and landed on your shirt and burned a hole. damnit.

I had a NL in 1996 from ? that a guy had that made me laugh non stop until i had something to eat.

Juicy Fruit - purchased from local college kid. Wonderful high

Green Crack - clone from cali grown local. Mostly what I smoke on today.

Purple Power - CO medical. So much bliss. Was not actually purple, great high.

"Outdoor" - Northern MN. Not super potent, but the greatest taste and fantastic high. Smoked a rolled cigarello with a good friend driving South from a visit to Northern MN. Probably the best session I can remember. The high was pouring out of my eyes. The high had to have lasted about 6 hours. Relentless.

NL - from a Widespread Panic show in 2001. I think I paid $60 for what was probably 2-2.5 grams. It might have actually been worth it. In the parking lot 2 kids cracked open a 5 gallon bucket of some amazing buds. People just started lining up. 1 looked out, 1 took money, and 1 gave you the buds. No bags, they just dropped it in your palm. It was the most beautiful weed i had ever seen. Drop dead stoned, potent, but the bag appeal was what really did it.

ahhh ignorance was bliss.....back then you were not a pot snob..... pot was pot.....and you were happy to be smoking it with your friends. I am sure you had to use those chamber screw apart metal pipes where you would stash a bowl inside the pipe to get resin on it in hopes to get REALLLY high later. those were some dank buds too... would burn for 2 days inside your pipe (300 hits per bowl) and you would have to clean it out eventually because you got some fresh stuff and reloaded the chamber. :leaf:

Best stuff I have ever had still to this day... White Widow. I got a gram of years and years ago it was white. Not white-ish but full on white like paper. It got me so high all I needed was 1 good hit and I was good for several hours.

The harsh burn of metal bowls on your throat, I had one of those chambered ones for a spell, those chamber bowls were like smoking the resin you scrapped from the bowl, metal bowl resin balls ewwww.

haha....yeah, we used to scrape the inside of the pipes and bowls to get more resin. ughh, the thought of that nasty taste sounds so bad right now.

1.) Bubba Kush(Purple Pheno)- My friends dad who has been growing weed for over 30 years back in 06 had two indoor grows where he grew Bubba Kush which he got from DrGreenThumb back then. I remember this bud as being the best bud I ever had, it sticks in my mind today as so believe it or not. He was a mason & I worked for him & he would pay me in cash & colas of this Bubba Kush. The high was sooo LONG & it was energetic as can be at the same toke if you sat down you would grow roots. Amazing Stuff, Haven't found a bubba kush today that possessed the same qualities.

2.) Beach Blend: Back in 07 That grower who introduced me to the bubba had a lesbian sister who was my friends aunt, & we went on vacation to Virginia where she lived. She was an incredibly rich lady, shes traded & sold weed to a bunch of celebs & what not. Anyway I was swimming in there pool with my friend & these girls who lived there. The aunt came out with a ball jar of buds FILLED to the top with this stuff she goes "This is the Beach Blend Just picked a month back, its been curing to perfection! have at it guys just save me a nug or two." this lady just gave us (the whole family who was visiting) 3 ounces of this FIRE to smoke for one week of vacationing... we were IN AWE! Was definatly one of my favorite vacations ever. Abut anyway, I just remember pre rolling joints & blunts & smoking this bud every where we went in Virginia. the taste of the beach blend made me spoiled to the weed I was smoking when I came back home on the east coast.

3.) Original Sour Diesel/Haze/Jack Herer from New Jersey. I have a pothead brother who lives in the northern part of jersey & he always told me how jersey was known for having incredible sativas! Hazes & Sour Diesel mostly. & he comes to visit me one year I believe this was in 08, I could be a year off. Anyway he brought up an Ounce of the ORIGINAL Sour Diesel(THE smelliest bud i've ever had the chance of smelling) which was prob my 2nd favorite bud I remember smoking. Another ounce of Haze which was soo light fluffy & covered in crystals. & a small piece mabe a quarter of Jack Herer. All of these buds have a similarity that also just STICKS in my mind, every time I get one of these strains or one similar I always say " Smells like Jersey!" Really surprising, We had a blast. Every where we went people would smell the sour on us before we even had smoked it!

4.)Sour OG- Had in California Last year when I visited a friend down in Corona! Excellent bud!


5.) 91' Pure Kush- Also had in California same time as the Sour OG. This bud was probably just as good as the Bubba Kush I had in 06, but I always forget about mentioning it some reason. tasted like marshmallows after exhaling! most stony weed I probably ever smoked.

Nice stories ex34 - that's what i'm talking about. most of us had to start somewhere. paying more than gold to get high! but those memories of the best buds will remain in our brains until we die.
