ROFL... I think StOw has a few, err, unskinned cats so to speak with them fellas. It really must be a huge downer, spending the money and then getting rough treatment from the guy who got the money. I know that feeling, it is not a nice one. So I guess it is a case of the genetics REALLY having to speak for itself in this case. Well as far as StOw's sense of satisfaction with his purchase goes this will be the case.
Anyway I am super stoned so a little rant to follow: I also always thought herb would bring people together across absolutely all possible divides. I have learned that this is not really the case. I suppose because the Canna family is really, REALLY big now. And as it goes with families, perhaps BECAUSE of how close you are, fireworks happen often. BUT it sorts itself out, mostly in a very adult fashion. You know, I respect StOw for his stand-off and his feelings towards Gas' genetics. Reason for this is I feel that the influence StOw really puts on others is always positive. I have seen him argue. He does it nicely.
For me the pity in it is that the line of communication got closed from THEIR side. A couple of messages and I am sure everybody would see eye to eye. But to deny StOw that opportunity, to find the middle ground... I don't know man. That is REALLY rough. Leaving somebody hanging with all those shitty feelings simmering away. It is a tad irresponsible perhaps. I mean, if you treat somebody like Myco like that, you can cause serious problems for a whole family. It is just not something you do to people, let them just hang with no opportunity to make right.
So yeah, the Canna family does still have certain attitudes around that not everybody will gel with. So we find our little comfortable pockets within the community. We get protective over them too, myself a prime example. And I can see StOw's message in his attitude towards the plants. His message is 'I will treat you well. It will be appreciated if you treat me well too, thank you'. That is StOw in a nutshell.
And on another note. I have to come out and say this. Gandalf, you are right about this: Gage bring the fire. I am going to buy pretty much everything they have available. I really don't care if I can run it all, I just need to have it in the vault for in case. If I had to choose only one company it is them. I do not easily get paranoid, but I can smell this gear too far away from my place for my liking. And I LIKE that. Me and my wife have now spent 2 days trying to come up with a description for the smells. We are at a loss. Your phrase 'a roll of lifesavers' applies. As it dries it is honestly getting insane. I am out of dry weed. I put cut a few sugars off the LT x FB and sun dried them. Yeah yeah I know. I miscalculated this year lol. BUT. I am so friggin wasted. WTF. I have not been this high in years. WTF is going to happen when I smoke the FLOWERS?! It tasted dank too. Holy crap.
I owe you big time buddy. That is quite a few solids I now owe you. I HAVE to come visit. I have always wanted to do a drive from the East to West coasts. Starting in Boston, tons of people I need to meet there. Gods, I have more mates in Boston than South Africa. Studied through Berklee's online extension school. I want to meet my instructors! Such legends. Don't know what I will do but I am gonna find a way to spoil you big time. You are the man.
