Sometimes in a pinch I run into some brown frown from south of the border. STILL 30 years later absolutely un smokable. I started smoking weed and it is exactly the same no buzz no fun and I had to pay for it. The farmers they make ZERO I mean NO evolutionary efforts at all just shit seeds Guerro brown or green garbage filled with black flat seeds that does nothing but make me mad. Can somebody like clue these fuckers in down there? These farmers need to hear they really suck at what they are doing.
And in fact I believe it will never improve, only legalization improves the quality of the final product, there is no reason for them to focus on product quality and treatment, what matters is just the quantity, how many kilos are packed and shipped in the end, that that matters. Quality is non-existent.
I think I’ve caught one or two brickweed better than the others, with almost no seeds and very green, but nowadays it’s getting rarer. Here in my city, we receive brickweed from Paraguay and it’s pretty bad.
I had that green no seed brick weed it still went in the trash can as soon as I got real weed. I won’t even give that shit away. To the farmers out there putting this shit out …you failed. Ha ha ha ok I feel better now OG and hope you do too
Jamaican weed is a different type compared to Mexican . Traveling to both places hands down Jamaican is way better then Mexican even with the right connection in Mexico to get the higher quality buds they still don’t compare to Jamaican weed.
Mind you after 6 trips and lots of talking you are able to score what the locals smoke not tourist weed there’s a big difference.
If they can keep moving it and making money well… No need for them to change the process. Simple supply and demand. Don’t buy it. That would be the only way to institute a change at the source.
If it were to be seedless weed it might be fire. But, once the plant gets pollinated, it directs the main energy to making seed, not flower. So, the cannabinoids never develop fully. You might grow seeds from some brick weed that seems like bunk, and get a real nice and potent plant.
It’s a lot of work to produce mass quantities of pot without seeds.
You can take any good genetics and make seeds with it and the bud as far as smoking, will be lifeless most of the time.
Il donate 1000 seeds of fire ass genetics FOR FREE and send them down there for those fuckers ha ha. Anything to help get rid of that brick shit or make it better for my peeps. Some people like that stuff but wow how many disapoint nights do those farmers create every year…
Bad growing, curing, packaging and shipping practices. It will lead to higher levels of degradation and usually lower potency even with the conversion of THC into CBN. Just a bad mix all around from them sources sadly. Glad those days are in the past heh.
Sadly Brick weed is still around and still as shitty as ever. If they started off with better genetics I think the end would be better. I would think improving the stock would bring more money and or repeat business. Those farmers are really making zero effort to improve anything and it needs to be noted I tink IMO.
It’s probably the way the weed was treated rather than the weed itself. Cut down and thrown in a pile to dry in the Sun. Back in the day when it was landrace sativa-dominant the weed didn’t need to cure to get you high. Now all the Mexican Farmers have mixed the local weed with West Coast varieties from the states that are high in thca but almost zero in thc. Because they don’t cure their pot, the thca does not get converted over into thc, and it ends up being crap. The same thing happens in the States but not as often. If they didn’t cure their weed it’s going to be garbage . I’d be very surprised if you were to grow a couple of those seeds and not end up with something decent.
I remember getting that Brown seedy pot back in the 90s. We always called it dirt weed
I had some weed from the Rastas about 5 or 6 years ago and it was the best weed I’ve had while out traveling. It wasn’t brick, just outdoor grow. Definitely sativa, huge calyxes and foxtails. I still think about it today lol.
They do have “better” genetics now. Almost no one is growing the old long flowering varieties on a large scale anymore. I’ve seen recent documentaries and the buds they were pressing into kilos don’t even look bad. Looked like regular halfassed outdoor. Chunky nugs that were actually trimmed OK, not big leafy spears.
Cartels aren’t dumb. They are very aware of the US market. They know they have to compete a little. The economics of it demands it. It’s also more economical to get bigger yields of faster flowering plants. 2 crops done in the time it previously took to make one.
Saw the same thing on a documentary about a Jamaican ganja farmer. He was growing skunk and blueberry in a little plot he eked out. Short, quick wide leaf plants.
I think it depends on who you are buying from in Jamaica. Many people there certainly aren’t shy about growing more commercial hype strains, but it’s my impression that the Rastas are a more traditional group of people who don’t chase that. My bet is they’re still growing what they’ve always been growing, which probably descended from Colombian some hundreds of years ago. I could be wrong, but what I had was mild and unlikely to have any indica mixed in. They didn’t even trim buds, everything they sold was trimmed off as foxtails.
Oh sure, there’s always pockets of people growing the older varieties, just saying the stuff that is actually bricked and imported at any sort of scale is usually more economically viable varieties. I’m certain if you made the right friends you can find some older guys on little farms with the same seeds they’ve been growing since they were kids. I assume there has been some pollen contamination over the years, though.
