gcisolator · 07-01-2007, 05:26 PM

We all evolved from the same single-celled organism billions of years ago. Why should we make arbitrary distinctions like "human" and "marijuana"? Labels, man. We don't need them.

[/being a dumbass]

***rix*** · 07-01-2007, 06:33 PM

there are a lot of names made up, it seems like i see a new strain name every wk...:slaugh:

BrattonBasher · 07-02-2007, 09:58 AM

Mr. Ganja:

Start your own strain and you can name it Armpit Kush if you like. But you are mixing up brand names with strain names. Headband is a strain, OG-Sour D., and Mars and the planets are brand names of Earth Collective (only given planet names if it is verrrry well-grown OG). The names used to bother me, now I laugh at them. If it aint good, I aint gonna smoke it!

Jamesf · 07-02-2007, 10:27 AM

one word:
MARKETING

Medpatient · 07-02-2007, 10:32 AM

I do get fed up with the strain names, and like stated here already it is marketing. if you hear that so and so is selling kush it sounds good but nothing spectacular but if you hear they are selling bananaberry kush, well hey that sounds good and tasty so you will check it out. I would just prefer to have strains listed as they are like bubba kush X OG kush, or OG kush named OG kush not OC kush cause it doesnt look like OG, well then hell maybe it isnt.

420bunny · 07-02-2007, 11:09 AM

No kidding.
Just the cross would be fine.

madmountain · 07-02-2007, 12:42 PM

The crosses would work for me. I have to guess if Whitewreck is White Widow x Trainwreck or White Rhino x Trainwreck.

Well said. Green crack is a pretty common strain. It use to be a big deal in the bay. Kind of lost steam after the purples and the kush got big.

07-02-2007, 06:11 PM

I don't think it matters what it is labled if the label is wrong.

Because many strains I see aren't the brand name or real name of the strain. "Smells a bit like TW and dogshit to me, let's call it WreckDawg"
This one smells a bit like grapes and has a poor trim job....Purple Kush! GRR!

Rhino Kush isn't Bubba! But I see RK passed off as bubba regularly.

You can't state the stain name for certain if the co-op doesn't know what is is either......!

Especially when they crack a vac pak and the smell of Tim Horton's coffee comes out and says: Don't be a hoser, Smoke me, Visit Vancouver eh.

Even worse Headband and Chemdog that aren't either one!

Diesel offered as kush?? No, it's "Super Diesel OG"...er, whatever...

I expect mistakes. But I also expect co-ops to know what they have and be honest about it.

It's only fair.

Hey Hawiian Ganja Bro:

Please do not use superlatives like "they are all schemers". Some are, but thankfully MOST ARE NOT. When you lump everyone together it tends to diminish your point, valid or not. Hey, at the end of the day you are in Hawaii, and we are not.

Medpatient · 07-03-2007, 09:17 AM

I would have to say that yes growers do give them their own names but I have personally experienced a few shops that just give names to the herb cause it sounds prettier. Those are the people I have a problem with cause they are being deceptive. At least if the grower gives it a name they can still tell you what the crosses are where coops making up names generally have no fucking clue what the herb is they are selling.

ANTISHEEP · 07-03-2007, 10:12 AM

Most of you might not agree w/ the tactics used by tenftgplant but to say that this name game that goes on isn't rediculous, seems to be just out of spite.

To dispute another post on this thread, I have to say that out of all of the dispenseries in The Los Angeles County, an overwhelming majority of them succumb to dirty practices. That's why I only have a short list of co-ops in which I visit on a regular basis, while I search for true righteous compassion.

I keep hearing the "Marketing" excuse being flung around. Well this is supposed to be for medicinal use, so why all of the need for "marketing" with gimmicks?

That is what I would like to know.

kushfarmer · 07-03-2007, 12:17 PM

I would have to agree with Antisheep, as I cannot contest to all dispensaries using this practice, I have seen it quite often. I have even seen it from some of the more "reputable" dispensaries, I will not name them as they already know who they are...

This is medicine and should be treated as such. When I hear of things like marketing in this community, it simply makes me sick. Do you really think that is the reason of the CUA. We both know the answer is a firm NO.

You may not like the truth, but I am going to have to agree with ten foot, medpatient and anti sheep...

I miss the old dispensary, everything on the wall was the true genetic heritage. For example instead of calling a strain "Bubbleberry" they call it "Bubblegum xx Blueberry".

Why have 7-8 names for the same strain? I have seen O.G. Kush xx Sour Diesel renamed so many different names it would tie Pat Benetar's tounge!

Please, keep it simple, keep it medical. -KF

BrattonBasher · 07-03-2007, 12:41 PM

The truth lies in the middle, like usual. Tenfootpole babbles incoherently about strain names, mistaking strains for brands, but perhaps his true point is about co-op credibility. There have been alot of threads about this, no new ground covered here. Several other posters contributed that they do not trust the majority of co-ops tactics. IMHO I agree that some are crooked, but most are not. This is why I love WT, an exchange of ideas with my peers.

Yeah, but then you would want to know what the genetics of Bubblegum is. And Blueberry. And then what's the genetics of the strains they were corssed from, and so on...

I don't think the names are a problem at all. If you wanna know the genetics, just do the research. You might learn other interesting things along the way too. Or you can just have fun with it. Try a strain for which you have no clue what the genetics are. Find out if you like it or not, based on the effect that results. I like to do that myself...it's cool to see what effects will come from different strains.

not to "bump" heads .. but i no attack no one.. yah know taht.. read em back if yah thnk different.. i man get nothn but love.. in fact so much love for patients taht i try to better our community so taht other patients will kno of legit creditful dispensareis and not just a bunch of sheisty delers tryn to make a couple extra dollars on the CUA by pushin off hand bul$hit b.c.s as topshelf...

I understand waht you saying,, and it would not be problem for patients that live locally...but this mainly addresing the patients that drive (for hundreds of miles) to pick up ther medication from LA only to find that the strain advertised is nothng close to what the bud actualy is...

Oh yeah I didn't think about that.

Research still helps though!
