Northern Lights is a real favorite of mine, that is because it gets me really mellow without blowing my brains out. NL5 x Haze is a similar type of stone but much more potent, and after a few tokes leaves me happily floppy! AK47 is not my type of high... it makes me unable to function without making a super human effort, and I am not super human.? ? Mike" "?NL is a great plant: taste, high, potency, yield, and growth wise. AK is stronger and yields more. But I'd have to repeat you probably wouldn't want to smoke the AK all day if you?re a chronic toker as many of us are. It will give you a headache/non-functioning state of bliss. NL is a more functional high (but still very strong) with a trademark taste and growing ease, short stature. NL has sidebranching also. Too many factors involved picking a general winner, but enough to pinpoint a personal winner for you. AK doesn't smell like blue berry where a single bud can fill a room but it still smells [at least serious seeds version does] A small extract fan should keep the house sweet! I'm not that impressed with AK a big initial hit then it fades away so you need another.? - Oldtimer1" "I've grown the AK-47 and in my opinion its a better high and much easier to grow than WW. I got the seeds from Greenhouse in Amsterdam. I believe it was by Serious Seeds. It grows reasonably fast, flowers in about 7 weeks from 12/12. It tends to flower on its own but not so much as to be a big problem. The ones I grew out were fairly uniform but there was some variation. The smell was good and the high was excellent.?- -Greenman." "Seriously, IMHO, skunk X big Bud or AK-47 are excellent strains for the experienced grower. Skunk strains are stable, pure strains and very predictable when purchased from reliable sources. AK-47 is a multi-way hybrid with excellent yield when grown well, with a world class high.? - Kohala" """This one is hard to say since its a strain that reflects both sides of spectrum. Will grow short to medium and short to leggy nodes will grow sativa like fans or more indica style. This all depends on what you pick...an indica style had big fat nuggs, a bit airy though with a different budding structure that packed single blades and clusters, not usual way of decreasing fans blades...Very nice strong spicy smell, very crystally, almost white, strong wood-like taste...and strong heavy high...A Sativa will grow a bit leggier but seems to be the better side of the spectrum....it produces hard fat nuggies, not really big but very dense and much whiter than the indica. It also had much stronger smell of spice and woody taste...and the high was like taking a sledge hammer to your head!! That by far is the best one and you don't need to search for another...you will be very happy with both"" -sloppy seconds" "A Sativa-Indica hybrid that produces a quick stone with a long lasting cerebral high.

Marijuana takes away fear and shyness. You can say what you think and not worry about how the other person will respond. I can see causes of my problems and can decide how to change things. There's nothing to fear. This is what you learn on pot. Twenty-eight-year-old songwriter, female (11 of 22)4/15/2004 1:03:59 AM The Marijuana Smokers - Chapter 4 What can we make of the claim that marijuana releases inhibitions? In part, it depends on our image of man. If it is basically demono-Freudian, we will fear the uninhibited man, for we will see the superego protecting man and society from man's savage, destructive, animalistic inner being. This model, as we saw, guided so many marijuana horror stories from the 1930s. "An eighteen-year-old boy, from a respected family in a Midwestern city, smoked two reefers and an hour later choked his sweetheart to death because she refused his shocking, lustful advances born in a marijuana-crazed brain."[25] Needless to say, although this floridly paranoid version of the effect of marijuana is not taken as seriously as it was in the 1930s, some residue of fear as to the outcome of releasing man's inhibitions remains. If we look upon society's restraining institutions as necessary, beneficial, and for the commonweal, then any agent which weakens man's grasp on them is suspect. If, on the other hand, we see civilization as repressive of man's true instincts?healthy, robust, vital, thick with wholesome sweat and whoops of unrestrained desire?we can only applaud an agent that is reputed to liberate man from his social bonds. My position fits neither of these assumptions. Civilization cannot be equated with repression?or protection. Man is civilization, his inner being included. One layer stripped off reveals only other layers, onion-like, into infinity. No one layer is any more basic or genuine than any other. If man really wishes to sleep with his mother?or his sister?it is something that he has learned. If, under the influence of marijuana, his sense of sexual urgency is unbearably importunate, we must point out that sexual desire, too, is a learned response.[26] Our feeling about the "possibility increase" effect of cannabis is that what man may do when under the influence of this drug will be neither outstandingly destructive nor noble. It will be much like what he does normally. Their essential character may change somewhat?more whimsical, less practical, perhaps more sensuous, but not a world apart. If man will be somewhat more likely to do what he wants to do?whatever that may mean?we need have no fear that he is going to destroy civilization. At least, not any more so than normally; man may very well do that without the aid of drugs. In contemporary existentialist terms, "bad faith" is the illusion that the possibilities presented to the individual by society are necessities.

In the less than half a generation from 1960 to 1970, fundamental changes have taken place that will permanently alter the shape of history. The most important of these changes have been cultural, not technological. That man has walked the surface of the moon, as this century lumbers into its last quarter, tells us very little about the texture of a single man's life; on the other hand, the fact that huge segments of American society are irretrievably disenchanted with legitimate political channels tells us a great deal about the quality of life in this society at this particular point in time. The increased use of illegal drugs is one of the most dramatic of social changes in this decade. The use of marijuana in colleges in 1960 was almost unknown; in 1970, it is commonplace. Any activity that swelled to the same degree would attract a great deal of attention, whether it be wearing short skirts or engaging in premarital intercourse The fact that marijuana use is subject to severe penalties makes it newsworthy indeed. That increasingly larger subcommunities cluster about it makes marijuana even better news. And because it powerfully ties in with dozens of other activities and institutions, study of (1 of 19)4/15/2004 1:03:03 AM The Marijuana Smokers - Chapter 1 its use has become vitally important. Social change is the most troublesome and difficult of all areas of social life to analyze. The task of understanding a society at one point in time is formidable; to understand it in flux is overwhelming. Yet social scientists are expected to make predictions on demand. Like everyone else, they are often wrong. Fads and fashions wax and wane. Today's craze makes tomorrow's trash. Yet fluctuations are not Brownian bursts of random energy; some of what happens from year to year has a method and a design. The river that one steps into at one point in time is not wholly different at a later time. Many of the more trivial features of the social life of any society have no pattern; the core features of all societies make temporal sense. One of the central theses of this book is that the immense increase in non-narcotic drug use in the past decade is an organic outgrowth of a newly evolving way of life whose precise features can now only be dimly perceived, even by its participants. Marijuana use today is not a fad, not a craze. It is not going to be wished away, and legal measures to eradicate it will be only partially successful. Whether we like it or not, potsmoking is here to stay. It might be wise to try to understand it. Questions reveal biases. What we ask reflects what we think. The phenomenon of marijuana use is a bright, glittering jewel, each facet of which flashes a different color.

The high from some peoples report is supposed to be "up" but I get so stoned on it I cant get up and move, dont know if it is difference in mothers or us smokers. I?ve had friends who are heavy duty smokers who cant take more than a few hits of NL5 x Haze. The Haze x Skunk on the other hand is not an extremely potent smoke in the same way -its plenty potent but not debilitating like the NL5xHaze is. The taste is much sweeter, but like most skunk strains, it burns my lungs after smoking lots of it. Another curious thing about the NL5 x Haze, the high lasts for me about four hours, the Haze x Skunk about the normal two. If you choose the NL5 x Haze, grow a less potent variety along with it for "daytime" smoking, the NL5 x Haze is so potent it bums me out if I smoke it all day. - Stix.Sun, 09 May 2010 12:00:00 AM GMThttp://big-bud.cannabis-marijuana.net/homegrown_fantasy/top_44.htmlriend and foe alike.[11] However, this is not the case in sparsely settled areas. Numerous cases exist of college students earning handsome profits by gathering wild marijuana spotted from cruising cars.[12] According to one account, the "major sources of marijuana for Midwest students are the surrounding corn fields."[13] (This is less likely to be true today than in 1965.) Although most of the marijuana consumed, both in terms of bulk and in terms of the number of transactions, will not be homegrown or gathered wild?the majority of all marijuana smoked still comes from Mexico?a sizable minority of it is, and these sources should not be discounted in delineating the marijuana distribution system. (In addition, it must be kept in mind that American-grown marijuana is considerably less potent than Mexican-grown cannabis.) Far more users planted their seeds (which many keep around for just such contingencies) during the drought year of 1969 than any in recent years. In addition, a great deal more hashish became available in 1969, possibly only part of a general trend toward greater hashish use?which is on the rise much faster than the use of leaf marijuana?or, possibly, partly as a response to this lack of availability of Mexican marijuana. In any case, most of the time, most of the marijuana consumed in America originates from Mexico. A reasonable price for a ton of marijuana, purchased from a middleman in Mexico, is between $10,000 and $20,000, which means that it costs about five or ten dollars per pound, or less than fifty cents per ounce. A typical wholesale price in New York, buying in a bulk lot of several kilograms, is about $120 per kilo, or about $3.50 per ounce. (California prices are generally about half New York prices.) Most characteristically, ounces are sold at the retail street price of twenty or twenty-five dollars.* If the smoker wishes to purchase joints (individual marijuana cigarettes) already rolled, he pays between fifty cents and a dollar apiece. Employing simple arithmetic, we find that the mark-up from field to joint can be considerably higher than 100 times in price, that is, buying at two joints per penny at the ton price, and selling at one dollar per joint at the joint price. Thus, the enterprising dealer might see in marijuana sales a source of enormous profits. This is, however, a naive inference. The novice might make the same mistake about the workings of the marijuana market as do the police. The joint price, a dollar per joint, is a ghostly abstraction. Few purchase individual joints, pre-rolled. Almost every smoker beyond the level of rawest novice rolls his own. (Except, I am told, in Vietnam, where large joints of excellent quality may be purchased in emptied American cigarette packs.)
