It's the latter champ

Just received a Q of this. Lovely oldskool flavour and high. Although its compressed you can easily pull the buds apart and crumble between fingers. I wouldn't put it through a grinder unless you deseed and take old stems first. Lovely with a Red Stripe Beer on a hot day like today. Blessed. Zedz

Its bud and other plant material, compressed.
The type of smoke for a mellow high and wont knock your head off like many of the stronger modern strains.

it's bud but in my opinion it's just not strong or flavoursome enough.

Bud mate. Have you had Thai? Compressed in the same way, buds and some stalk together, normally a few seeds. Outdoor grown. Nice smoke, not as strong as new strains, beginners and old schoolers weed

Wicked, I've literally just put a post up looking for recommendations on an easier smoke. I haven't had Thai before. I started out on soap and UK homegrown about 25 years ago and then moved on to bud.

In terms of the high and quality, what's the difference between this and Thai?

I haven't heard the term 'soap' in maybe 15 years and I'm glad you've brought it back to me. Soap bar days were rough. Pretty sure there was old Queen vinyl records in the stuff I'd get.

Ha yeah soap was awful wasn't it! All sorts of plastic and shit in it! I didn't smoke hash for years once I discovered good bud. Then had some lovely light fluffy stuff about 15 years ago, but then quit smoking tobacco and so just stuck to green. Would love some nice mellow hash. Been asking on here of good ways to smoke it without tobacco. Can you vape it? I don't know.

I’ve always steered clear of it in the UK. I remember in the early 2000’s we’d go wild on it in Amsterdam because that was what the place was good for. I feel it’s getting a bit of a resurgence now but the versatility and popularity of flowers is making green a runaway train. You should see the scene in Toronto. It’s a different world there and nobody cares much for hash, I’ve seen the same thing in the USA. I think also people don’t like the hassle that comes with using hash, nor the cigarettes. These days I’d only use it if someone had some to lace a weed joint. I have no idea if you can vape it but at a complete guess I’d say it was a much simpler process to source the oil direct rather than try and extract your own from hash. It would probably be more hassle than it’s worth.

Ha I think I've aslo commented on your other post. I think the swazi and thai are both generally sativa, so more uplifting high. The THC level will be lower than the other types of modern bud on here so if you don't want mega strength, go with this. The swazi and thai will have different taste but similar look.

The Jamaican sess I mentioned on the other post, I believe is indica so more relaxed high.

Remember to expect some seeds, stems in Thai, Swazi and Sess. Picking them out is part of the fun.

Most people like strong these days, most bud and hash on here would fit that category

Could you link me to the Jamaican please, sounds good.

Here you go mate https://littlebiggy.org/item/Nl0AyhFEor0jwC7N6VshDu9T/view/p

It's Gods Connect that have the Jamaican. Above is a link to their page

Cheers mate, appreciated :)
