What's in your vape right now?

It's not sprayed with anything. Most States have pay-to-play lab testing so there's no real incentive to be accurate. Commiefornia passed some rule this year to combat this, but I haven't heard if it's been implemented yet.

I saw some the other day that claimed over 40% and one that claimed over 60%. I've spoken with scientists who specifically study cannabis, and they all said the same thing, "Unless they are adding THC oil to it, that is just not possible. Pretty much anything over 33% wouldn't leave enough room for the cellulose of the plant mater."

That makes totally sense.
Honestly I think anything over 25% should be called hash not flower.

It's more likely that tests are being "massaged" than legal companies adding oil to real MJ. But either way, I think most of us know now that the THC percentage is not a guaranty of how effective the flower is anyway. It's like the "megapixel" race that digital camera companies were in. Eventually people started figuring out that a higher pixel count is not the only factor in image quality.

2 of my all time favorite strains are supposedly Landrace based. Have you tried Durban Poison or Afgoo aka Afgooey? Very different effects with the Afgoo. Durban Poison is a solid satvia style, but Afgoo is not pure landrace, and usually is more indica / relaxing, but still awesome.

I am very familiar with Durban Poison & love landrace derivatives like White Durban by Rythm as well. I am in MD market but have visited dispensaries in NJ, NY & Rhode Island as well. I think that one i got in NJ. I am consistently looking for new strains based on Landraces. The next one i will post here is 3D by Grow West (western MD grower) . it is a cross with Nigerian sativa Landrace.

Still my opinion that I love the pure characteristics of a real Landrace & strong taste & character. In NJ i also picked up Mag Landrace & Indian Landrace as grown by Verano. These are supposed to be close to what a real Indica Landrace in that region(s) might be. I have heard of Afgoo but never saw it being offered any place i went. It is undoubtedly a hybrid, but if i see it i will buy it. Mag Landrace in particular , vapes well for me.

I am a bit more ambivalent about a bunch of the current offerings in the market like cookies or runtz as they just seem so GENERIC. So i continue to look for other interesting strains with Landrace roots or at least early bred strains like Skunk, or Northern Lights . But i am open to other strains if they come highly recommended. As described in my intro bio I am back to enjoying Cannabis after a 30 some year absence. So what i would see in special cases back in late 70s early 80s was a lot of seedy Colombian, a bit of cheap lousy Mexican. But on rare occasion we got real Thai sticks! , Hawaiian, Acapulco Gold and then homegrown Sinsemilla $$ ! . Trying to find Landraces brings me back.

/SHORT RANT: I think this is the case at most Dispos across the country the amount of information about strains they offer is PATHETIC! Some bizarre food name and of course maybe some info about terpenes. (& maybe not) . Nothing about strain lineage unless you find a dispensary directly tied to some grower. (ex. is Grow West in Cumberland where they grow the stuff) . The photos are so generic they are NOT useful and in MD you can't see what you are buying until you get it. The descriptions are vague and not helpful. I also despise the fact some brands insist on taking a widely available strain and then come up with some stupid name that they come up with and has NO relation to the original strain name. (eg. LA Kush Cake) /END RANT

Anyone else find any true Landraces or Landrace crosses by them? Just curious what is available elsewhere.

My only experience with landrace genetics is with the ones I've grown. Lao Sa, Mazar i Sharif, Ketama. I'm growing right now a Mazar x White Rhino cross. I've no interest in the modern " froot loops" crosses, they are all the same and ruining the base genetics of good cannabis

Thanks pop! I have heard of those strains especially Mazar and White Rhino. I am at the mercy of my local dispos, but rest assured i would love to try those in a heartbeat if it were available. I try not to be so disparaging of the current "Froot Loops" strains but it gave me a chuckle. Enjoy your evening!

Switched it up last night for my session. It was Purpletine ! A nice Indica leaning strain just before bedtime. It is based on Pai Gow X Mimosa V6 by Essence (Verano). 1.34 % on the terps .
This is maybe a bit too moist to vape, but i had gotten and wanted to try it.

I only have a PAX for flower, but switched up a few things going with a very loose pack and a full chamber and i noticed it was better than i was getting previously.

(i have to fix the links for this)

Thank you so much! This is of much interest to me. I collect a bunch of these articles because i am such a nerd.

Most People here where I live really do just make up names or go on-line to find Buds that look like what they have and name it by what looks closest(never mind what they have maybe an indica dom strain and the herb in the pic straight sativa or vice a versa)

So All I can say for sure is; I'm workin' some killer dank that feels like indica, all purple and rusty orange hairs on dark green almost blue buds with a heavy sedative effect.

that's why I've always grown my own. Screw those ignorant dealers who only care to collect your money and don't know shit and don't care about the weed they sell!
