I prefer imported weed. Being in the UK we are an import nation and this also applies for our weed. Or at least it used to until the indoor growing scene made it possible for self-sufficiency. Personally, I prefer ganja coming from its native land rather than that which is grown in water under a light bulb! I remember we used to have much from Africa, and Pakistan, Afghanistan. Well, this seems to have stopped and mostly indoor grown marijuana is sold on the streets because of how easy it is to produce inexpensive marijuana by growing indoors. I have smoked import for many years but after two years recently of smoking purely indoor bought bud I develop a terrible cough where I can not smoke even my organically grown outdoor bud. I could always smoke my outdoor bud and my indoor organic with out coughing - but after two years of smoking this indoor I buy from dealers such as Amsterdam bud and the like I feel like my lungs are death. This is to the point where I stop growing and also stop smoking bud. It is impossible to find decent bud in the UK which does not make me cough - I know if I started smoking the import again I would not cough but that is like finding a needle in a haystack with millions of people looking for the same. The same is true I could say about my home grown. For some reason this home grown is far superior than any thing I buy from a UK dealer. But the problem is it is illegal to cultivate ganja in the UK so having a operation where I could smoke an 1/2 oz a day is impossible to set up as it would be impossible to convince a judge I was growing for personal use. This is why I turn to dealers. I remember a time when I had no dealers from moving to a new town - this was heaven and hell. I basically grew all my own ganja organically in dirt as I had no garden. This was a beautiful time because all the marijuana was free and I had choice of any strain I fancy such as Cindy 99 and AK-47 or Apollo 13 or Sensi Star. My favourite is Sensi Star as this I shared with my friends all the time. But during that time came self discipline. I did not produce much only a little top quality for my self. Therefore, between each 4 month period of sowing, growing, and harvesting, I had to wait for my bud. This made me only smoke 1g in the morning, and 1g joint at night before bed. I was happy to smoke this way. When the stash ran out, I would have to go without ganja until the harvest was ready. This gave me self discipline and I did not abuse the ganja - but when I found a dealer some years later I started smoking up to 1/2oz in just a day and this was with money I sepnd at the dealers. Very sad I become an addict to the stuff. It was very hard to quit but last year I stopped ganja. I do not smoke ganja at all now. Personally, I did not like what I had become and know that if I find a dealer I will go insane and buy ganja every day and become a brain dead zombie always zoned out all throughout the day and get nothing done just smoke ganja. I think the minute a joint touches my lips I would have lost the battle as I would be buying like mad again making up excuses why I should buy it like its a sunny day or its a rainy day. Very depressing when I think back what a ganja fiend I had become compared to when I used to grow my own. Perhaps one day I would love to return to growing ganja and just smoking my own harvest as I never had a lung problem with my ganja only the dealer weed was shit and made me cough. But I can not until it is legal to cultivate cannabis in the UK SO START PROTESTING OUR RIGHTS!!! People like me can not grow because we face prison time if caught again for cultivation. So we wait in hope that one day we can either have enough money to move to Holland or get the UK to CHANGE THE LAW. Peace
