So here/s my 2 cents. I know a lot of Americans these days think because some states have "legal" weed that they must produce the best bud anywhere (maybe its the big American ego).
I think not. I have been to both Colorado and California and smoke "medical" weed from both states.... I must say there were a few nice strains and they were grown alright but most of the stuff i saw and smoked was crap...
I mentioned to one of the workers there that I am from Canada and he told me this weed is better then any Canadian weed out there.
I think its a grave error on the part of the Americans to think that because they have been growing weed for a few years that all of a sudden there top greenthumbs..
I know in my area growing weed is passed down from grandfather to father to son.. its been in our blood for decades and due to our lax drug laws people have been doing this for there whole life...for example.. in the states you get caught with a warehouse full of plants your going away for some years.. here its a fine and maybe a year a max.. you see the risk vs reward has been way better on our side of the border and therefore i believe that it only makes sense that the best weed in the world comes from canada!!!
anyone else wanna chime in with a view???
I just want to know why you guys from the states think your weed is the bomb above all others?

It's really inaccurate to say one is better then the other because that is simply not true. It all depends on the grower and genetics. There are people all over the world with great genetics growing top shelf medicinal mj.
And to answer your question about why americans think their weed is better, well, you're clearly talking to inexperienced people. The real people who actually know what they are talking about know that anyone with great growing skills and genetics can have amazing weed, any where. I suggest talking to people who actually know something about weed before making judgement on all americans.

But don't you think the quote "practice makes perfect" applies here..
I mean the more experience you have the better the weed will be....Surely!
you could have a clone from a cannabis cup winner but without the proper skill set I'm sure the plant will suck.
I also wanna say that obviously there is shit weed here in canada too but in the big picture we produce mass amounts of high quality bud and have been for decades... how can a grower who is in the game a few years supposed to compete with that?
-
You're just trying to start shit now, it's not gonna happen with me. You think canada is the only place with generations of growing? Nigger please.
-
there is good weed worldwide(exception african weed) as long as the grower knows what the fuck they are doing i'm american and could care less where the weed came from as long as i get stoned right

First of all my little KKK, Skinhead, AB friend.. I dont see any need to be calling anyone a nigger.. wtf is your problem??
I'm not trying to start shit, juts looking for some input into what people think about my question.. I'm not here to start any fights and have any beef.
Just because you are one of those hardcore Americans who thinks USA is above all including god and cant bare the idea that maybe just maybe Canada is better than you in growing bud...
-
"Nigger please" is a slang term used by only african americans, you're wrong some more....
As I stated above I don't think america is the best. I'm saying there's greatness WORLD WIDE.
You're simply looking for a fight, that's all. Maybe you should go smoke some of your weed that is so much better then anywhere else, maybe it'll bring you back to reality.

Granted!!! there is good weed all over the world, but I would say 70-80% of the good weed around the world was grown in either Canada or America and then shipped out...
I'm not considering all that Mexican garbage witch counts for a large part of exported weed as well... but that shit aint even considered weed in canada! NO ONE would ever buy that here unlike in the states where yall eat it up like candy.
And I have a question for you Fuckoff...
have you ordered any buds from canada yet??
I do believe that if you tried our top strains you would agree that Canadians are on top of this game. I mean we eat sleep breath and grow bud.. it only makes sense...
did you know there is a Quebec cannabis cup that High Times partakes in??? To my knowledge there is no American cannabis cup..(if there is its new.. not like the 25 year old tradition that takes place in canada) here in quebec why do you think that is???
-
i agree with one guy there is good shit worldwide you seem a little biased or one of those hardcore canadians who think they are above all even god and can't bare the fact that places other than canada put out good weed
-

I dont know much about the slang you may use but I assume that you are black, i just want to tell you when you use words like "nigger" and then post you are black it does not help your cause... to me a white person it just reenforces the idea that maybe you dont know what your talking about... I know a lot of black people... the only ones who say the word "nigger" are low life wannabe gangsters and some real gangsters too... all the business men I know would not say that shit.. It is oppressive and should be a word that is not spoken but never forgotten.

I am not looking for a fight, I am smoking a nice mix of my jeanguy, jack, M39, hash, and I never once claimed out here that my weed was the best weed in the world!

Lmao... I'm sure you had an original thought, but it died of loneliness !
-
You're so desperately trying to get a fight here, it's embarrassing. You should check out youtube the kids on there really like to make meaningless arguments about what country has the best weed etc.
-
goddamn canadians huh?
-
ikr, needs to hurry up and get cold again so he'll be busy with hockey.
-
I don't think it matters if the person growing the weed is American or Canadian. I pretty sure the plant doesn't care.
You are viewing us all as extensions of the State, rather then individuals.

i guess his avatar suits him well he comes off as a sarcastic little prick just like spade usually plays

First of all... you guys are taking this the wrong way.. let me clear a few things up.. first HOCKEY ROCKS! lol... second I dont hate Americans or America as a matter of fact I love your country just like I love mine. Both countries have issues to deal with and that not what this is about (not a-boot)
this is about weed growing!!! not weed selling... not weed importing... weed growing!!!
I believe that if something is built into a culture of a whole Provence let alone a whole country then surely its gonna produce a better more loved product..
We have been on the cusp of growing and innovators to this awesome world.. this is documented in many hightimes magazines...
they always praise Canada (Quebec) in particular and I can come up with many links if need be to prove my point...
there is no doubt in my mind that pound for pound Canada produces a better product then our neighbors to the south.
This is just my opinion and I dont want to start beef here.... but fact are facts..and here is one fact you cant deny..
Canadian law is much more lenient the American law regarding weed... and as such... we have more professionals in the game and in the game wayyyy longer...
can any of my fellow Canadians help me out here, I feel like i'm being attacked!!
-
i don't think any of your fellow canadians are gonna back you on this

This isn't hockey. It is raw business. It transcends borders. All growers have basically come to terms with the 'fuck the government' mentality whether they live in Canada or the US. They hold no allegiance to the flag. They have their own flag. They live on little islands in a big sea. If you want to define (or use someone else's definition) which islands are on which side and debate who is better that is fine, but people are reacting to it negatively because they don't like perceiving the world through such a jaded lens. Lets let the best herb be good for something other then whether it is Canadian or American.
If this were hockey we would have our own team, the jerseys would be green, and we would be winning.

if grown right you cant go wrong with either
ps. David spade is not a Canadian ;)

I really dont think this question can be answered. As far a the quality of cannabis is concerned, the best medical grade cannabis is not a matter of Canada, US, Amsterdam, Spain, or any other country versus another. Medical grade cannabis can be grown in any country, but it is the genetics and the farmer that determine the quality of medicine produced. On that note, I will say that as far as farming goes, the US has the best farmers and more of them than any other place on earth. Consequently, we (The States) have that shit on lock. No offense.

I assume you are referring to food crops when you say 'farming'. If this is correct then I would agree the US has that game locked down, but not for the sake of any special farmers or good practices. I would say it is a combination of genetically modified crops and government subsidies that do the trick.

This is like comparing dick size.. the cannabis nation need a world cup.
Real talk, there are likely generational growers in jamaica with some super duper dank which would put all the top u.s. and canadian farmers to shame.

I dont think so my friend.. you never see sick top of the line buds come from outdoor plants... you see big budds.. lots of them.. but the quality is not the same as indoor.... plus its much easier to grow outside then inside .... the hardest part is creating an environment inside that mimics the real one outside. no doubt Jamaica has good bud but nothing compared to North America...
jah kno!
-
ninjers please...
it's not about mimicking. it's about enhancing. the co2 optimal level potential is much much higher than the atmospheres level. that's why many outdoorsy's actually supplement outdoor co2. and the indoor is about creating the most perfect environment. Indoor will always have higher potential than outs. And i've seen some great outs... i mean great fuckin outdoor strains all covered in crystals they could easily pass for indoor. in fact... i'm smoking some right now!
and let's talk about regions. it's actually the light spectrum and cbd's that are more prominent away from the border. (northern lights?) in which thc production is a protective act of the plant for cbd spectrum. few growers really use cbd enhancement during later flowering and fewer even know about them.
My thoughts exactly what space said in first or second post of theirs...
Genetics and grower. The industry has taken numerous leaps as well. Genes don't even matter if grower and nutes are shit.
And it doesn't matter what you saw at a club. They can call anything MEDICAL grade but that means shit. I've witnessed and heard many stories of dispensaries spraying their shit with toxic crap and selling it. The medical game is hardly about health. Real true growers from where the fuck ever are the ones that covet thy strain of the gods. They search and tinker until they find something perfect. And then they keep searching and continue to up the ante ad infinitum.
it's really all grower. time. attention. love. + genes!
even decent growers pic early. biggest most used mistake.

Fisrt I dont know any growers that pick early, they always wait till the hairs are nice and red and then they flush for 14 days and then they chop.. anyone who cuts early is just in it for the money and not the love of the bud..... also I totally agree that is all the grower +attention+love+genes that makes a good plant...

Your whole argument just became invalid. Who checks the hairs on the bud for ripeness? Let me tell you, novices. Any seasoned grower knows to check trichome heads for clear/cloudy/amber to w/e effect they desire. It's not a right or wrong better/worse thing, it's more of a personal preference.
-
Bro, I'm not a grower nor am i even close nor did i ever claim to be.. you cant say my argument is invalid because I said "they make sure the hairs are red"...what i meant was CANADA GROWS THE BEST, MOST TAKEN CARE OF WEED IN THE WORLD!!
The fact of the matter is I believe one thing and you believe an other, I have many friends through the states (NY, TX, CA) whom I send bud to on a regular basis, they were all born in canada and have been living in the states for at least 10 years (the have connects there as well) but every time I send them something they always tell me that we grow the best bud..
We must agree to disagree... its simple...
no matter what I say you will still think that the US produces the best bud...
-
I never said the U.S. produces the best weed. I specifically said that anyone anywhere is growing great weed if they have the genetics and growing skills, which people do have world wide.
