What strain is your favorite and why?

I've been trying Night Fire OG lately and thought it feels pretty good.

I'm looking for something that is a really relaxing body high and something that really keeps the muscles loose... nothing too harsh-smelling especially when smoking it...

I remember Thai weed in the 80's and it was the BEST. I remember chocolate Thai that was really good. No such weed today as big pharm has ruined pot. Back in the day when you smoked a joint and it didn't taste perfumy. Back when there was resin on your joint, and your eyes were red and glazed, and you were really tired. That's my favorite strain. Hoping legalization will bring imported stuff in.

in BC of a strain called White Lightning. It was a hybrid of white widow and NL#5. I've been growing it for so long, collecting seeds periodically, that I have no idea how it's split out now, but it works. I haven't bought any weed in years. I like farming.

there's nothing to stop you. I've been growing mine inside, but now that the days are long, I've got three plants outside and one in the greenhouse just to see how they do with natural light. I'll have to bring them back in under the lights when I want them to flower, of course, but I love looking out the back door and seeing them out by the garden.

Probably the most grapey I've tried. It was a little mellow for me, but delicious when vaped.

Blueberry kush sounds nice...blackberry kush was delicious--slight jet fuel overtones and mellow smoke, with heavy blackberry flavor. Best tasting strain I've had.

Yeah, it might have been grape ape. It was very grapey and awesome.

There's this one that smells like green onions that i like, and one that smells like a lemon pine forest.

Perfect combination of buzz + body high. i'm nearly out of it now, but i'm working on reconstructing the effect through mixing flowers. Got a pretty good combo going last night with a 1:1 Swiss Tsu/Oregon Big Bud split.

I would like to grow a few plants but probably won't because they'd take everything from us if caught. I have no idea how to get seeds either, I've been out of the loop for years.

My health would likely be helped by cannabis. In any case, for those that know what is the cost and in a state with medical marihuana is it covered like other drugs? I'm guessing not but it should be.

I'll be reading more than posting, glad we have this new group

It used to be you hunted down a friend of a friend, and whatever they had was what you got. Or you heard about the guy who just got some Thai sticks.

I felt so odd the first time I went to a dispensary. I have to admit it, I loved the prohibition days. I hated the guys in camouflage marching around on my neighbor's property though. Very frightening.

So heady. I haven't come across it in a LONG time, though.
Lately I really enjoy OG Kush for a long lasting, intense high (one hit is all ya need), Cheese (for a nice, mellow buzz), and XJ-13 (for it's uplifting high).

Jack Herer is the best poker strain I've found--light body high, relaxing, and perfect for clear-headed conversations and hanging out.

Grandaddy Purple (a strong grow, anyways, it needs to be done right) for heavy indica goodness. That stuff will knock you down flat. Wonderful for pain and sleep.

White widow is another one of my top ones, as with Northern Lights.

High energy sativa, I'd go with a good grow of Blue Dream. I've had a number of different versions of it, some better than others. If you can find a reliable and good grower, than it's fantastic.

Jack Herer if I'm going for a ride on the trails, or working around the house. Don't really have any particular preference for any Indica strains. Usually just pick out some top shelf.

I love blueberry because it tastes nice, and it helps me get past the pain and get moving.
I love Tora Bora because this CBS strain tastes mellow, and helps my Glaucoma so much; it lowers my eyes pressures to normal, stops the ocular migraines, and only has a gentle buzz.
Have you tried Hawaiian Snow? It does to me what you want. YMMV.

I'm an Indica fan looking for something to knock me flat on my back evenings so I can get some REM sleep. Not that I don't appreciate a daytime Sativa high, but it's distracting and I'm very busy on various activist missions.

I'm just floored with nostalgia as I read it. Thank god I got to know the right people, and learn about growing, back in the 80's. I bought Rosenthal's book in the mid 70's, but didn't know enough to grow good buds until way later. I'm so excited because now with semi-legalization, those days are back.

It's just so weird to be able to talk publicly about all of this. I'm elated!

Cenix is a great tasting, with a good buzz that doesn't Velcro you to the couch. Great for doing chores and working out in the yard. Living in Washington, we have more strains than you can count. Going into a dispensary is almost like going into a Candy Store. With about fifty different types of bud, not to mention the shatter, wax and edibles.

I'm a Sativa lover. Always have been, always will be.

But when it comes to wanting to just relax a good couch lock indica is best.

And if I just want to enjoy a movie, a hybrid will work out best.

girl scout cookies, mr. nice, sour diesel (gotta love it), durban haze, and white buffalo. i rather prefer indica and indica-dominant hybrids, because imbibing for me is mostly a nighttime activity, but you can't go wrong with some nice mendo purps for a sativa. i like most of the grape strains.

anyone heard of the app "Leafly"? It's great for checking things out before you buy.
