you are putting words in my mouth Amigo...if you research my posts you will find that I never said I like my coffee black.
what I said was I like my women just like my coffee.......I like some Kahulua and some Irish Cream in my coffee , sometimes a lot....
so THAT is how I like my women , FULL OF ALCOHOL! ...ya big dummy.
Weirdscenes , my apologies for the Thread Drift but every once in awhile I have to feed the trolls
did you smoke any Durban Poison when you lived in SA?....what is your favorite African strandivar?....we like Malawi and of course Durban Poison
Well that's hard to answer.
me and my wife & 2 sons emigrated to SA in 1981
First few months up in JoBurg didn't like it there.
moved around a lot in first year or two but finallysettled in Durban.
I was an electrician back then and developed a strong friendship with a workmate & we became comrades.
This was probably very different to how the weed scene developed in the states and generally we didn't have a clue what "strain" you were smoking.
We'd just take a short trip into the nearest location (squatter camp & surrounding area) and buy a "hand" (or two) of Ganja - a hand being a large handful wrapped in newspaper.
It was just "Bush" and usually full of seeds & stems but it did the job well.
There was absolutely non of what I see as hype back then.
In '92I was offered a job in the Seychelles and we spent 4 years there - returning to SA in' 96 - this time to Cape Town.
I still have a vivid, memory from the first time I drove into Cape Town along the coast Rd (we lived in Fishhoek about 10 miles south of the city.)
Just before you entered the city proper someone had painted on the stone wall that protected the road (from falling debris), someone had painted, in big black letters, 4 foot high, THE CAPE OF GOOD DOPE.
IT was too.!
Prior so living in SA I was in the merchant marine for 11 years and scored weed in many places. Apart from names like Acapulco Gold and Panama Red being bandied about non of my fellow tokers paid much attention but you'd occasionally come across some braggart who'd wanna talk about how you could know what was the best weed in the world. I won't deny that there probably ARE some superior strains etc.
In the 8 years I've been here in Spain I've grown a variety of different strains including white widow & Durban Poison photos, but for the last 4years I've grown mainly autos.
The only difference *I* can detect between strains, is when I spark up something which is "special" - for me super silver haze, tends to be that way.
Nowadays I just grow, dry, and cure it and forget to label the jars.
I smoke neat and my best gauge is when I smoke a single skinner and don't need anymore that night. Even with a joint I often am flying high by half way.
In my first year in Spain I was in an unbelievably strange situation
and scored a few times with the help of a pal who was a stoner. Never knew what it was but it too did the job.
Although I rent this little Finca (and love it) my lovely Spanish landlord (speaks not a word of english) takes care of its large garden which is mainly given over to olive trees plus a few fruit trees.
He's was very cagey when I asked (mainly by sign language) if it was OK to grow good old Mary Jane. It's illegal here although the guardia tent to turn a blind eye.
So for the last six years I've just grown in pots on my balcony.
I've just realised this is really NOT what you asked - sorry but I do tend to ramble on.
