THE HIGH
We should now have an idea as to what we are looking for in
terms of a good quality smoke. We are looking for non-pollinated
female plants that have flowered, producing lots of buds with resin
glands that contain high levels and amounts of THC. We are also
looking for plants that have been well cured and processed in a way
that allows us to sample the full flavor, smell and taste of the plant.
One must also be aware that some plants are very potent and can
literally knock one's socks off. This is where taste comes into play.
Some people like plants that give a head high but do not cause one to
fall asleep. Other people like plants that give a down effect and cause
the body to become less responsive to stimuli. The body down is called
'The couch-lock effect'. The head high is simply called 'The head
high.'
Now another thing must be considered here. Remember that
we talked about Species of Cannabis - Sativa, Indica and Rudereralis?
Well Rudereralis is hardly used much today. Sativa and Indica are
extremely common and these 2 species will be the main focus of this
topic. Also both species have two different forms of high. The high
type of each species can also be controlled depending on the time at
which you harvest. Not only this but the species can be crossed to
produce Indica/Sativa type plants or Sativa/Indica type plants. This
may sound all very confusing at first, but it is in fact all quite simple.
We will explain more about this in our next chapter.
