Madera, CALIFORNIA

“It has taken me six years of good strain choice and heavy yield to create these. THC ranges from 20% - 23%. Fruity pine scent with a very strong, pungent, citrusy odor.”

Purple Haze - $500

Valdosta, GEORGIA

“It's been rough down here. Things were a lot more free flowing a month or so ago but the damned cops rolled on a lot of people. Either way we've still been able to stay high down here. Crazy prices, especially when you look at California last month…”

NY Diesel - $450

Boston, MASSACHUSETTS

“The sweet and stinky. Fat buds coupled with dark green and slightly purple coloring undertones. A deep high that never fails to put you back in the New York Groove, then right back to the couch.”

Jack Herer - $400

Pennington, NEW JERSEY

“Very close to the original Super Silver Haze – sweet smell and strong stone.”

Sensi Star - $450

Coplay, PENNSYLVANIA

“I’m from about two miles outside of Allentown. Recently ‘A-town Brown’ was submitted and I felt disgusted so I decided to let you know what I’ve been smoking!”

i stay in NC, and ive come to terms with the fact that no matter what your location, it seems to be all about who the hell you know, if you think no one at all in your whole citys got good weed, your probably mistaken, ive been all over and i find, that you gotta get out and meet all kinds of people (being mindful of course) and someone will have some killer shit somewhere local, even if its not dank, maybe a step or 2 below, it will be good smoke, but, if all else fails, go to canada and get some good dank seeds, come back to your home-town, and grow, grow, grow.... then, you wont have to worry about shit, as long as you keep your damn mouth shut...

I live down here in NC and I've got to say that we do have some really good shit here, easy to get and pretty good prices. I smoke shit from around the country, and in my experience, the mids in NC are about as good as most high-grades in the surrounding states...I have smoked some crazy stuff from different places (i.e. Hawaii import (Can't pass em up) purps, etc...) but I tend to stick to the affordable mids and occasionally I'll splurge on some dank
