“Today, we are in the midst of a “green” revolution where new strains of cannabis are being cultivated to produce desirable characteristics, unique traits, groundbreaking medical applications, and off-the-chart potency. And the quality and variety of strains available for the majestic flower of the female cannabis plant is astonishing. this dizzying array of hundreds, if not thousands, of cannabis strains can be an experienced toker’s dream or leave a novice user dazed and confused.” [Dazed and confused. That’s us.]
“How do we navigate through this modern marijuana landscape: What are the differences between various cannabis strains? Should we care whether we smoke an indica versus a sativa? What makes all these new hybrid strains so special?”
Green: A Field Guide to Marijuana by Dan Michaels is an excellent primer and reference. Read it and you’ll be a weed whiz.
As the book’s introduction goes on to say, “The difference between smoking a dank sinsemilla or some dry schwag (low grade) can mean the difference between feeling nice and lifted or feeling bugged out and paranoid.”
Here’s to feeling nice and lifted!
