I was just in Colorado, paid 35 for a pack of rolling papers and got a free eighth bag of blue dream. It looked frosty as fuck. I hated it, I don't like blue dream much because it's a hybrid I'd rather either strong Indica or a landrace sativa that's not been modified by much indica, that's me personally. I smoked a joint with a buddy and he said it was pretty good. I then met a guy while dropping off my rental who gave me a bag of something idk what it was. He's in Illinois. The weed that he had was much better than the blue dream, more body to the bud, it didn't powder down when you breathed too hard.
Anyway my point is that you can find good or better weed anywhere.
But me personally I'd like to know what's in what I consume which is why I am choosing to go to Colorado, and when I'm finally able to grow according to how Mike wants to grow, I'll be able to tell anyone it might not be the best you'll find, but I have a test here that says exactly what, and its 100% organically grown so no bogus chemicals.
