It also uses the telling tabloid scare-word "skunk" as if it's some kind of devilish genetic engineered superdrug when actually skunk cannabis is just a indica-sativa hybrid that has a strong smell, not necessarily a strong THC concentration.
As a sad parallel, in Romania around 2008 when we had a massive influx of "legal high" synthetic THC analogs , the media scare-word for these highly dangerous synthetic research chemicals was literally "ethnobotanics".... Even now I can't contain my anger at this kind of willful ignorance spewed by what is supposed to be public information..
- senorjazz 9y ago"skunk" used to a be a general catch-all term for buds with no seeds, regardless of strain. Higher quality, higher strength. Which is why the media use the word. Whether the term is still used by users, no idea.
- pennaMan 9y agoSensimillia, Spanish for "without seeds", was the term used before the 1930s craze when the US government rebranded it "marijuana". Buds with seeds were never in the history of human cannabis use considered for smoking, exactly because the THC content is extremely low when the plant produces seeds.
- redblacktree 9y ago> Buds with seeds were never in the history of human cannabis use considered for smoking I can assure you that this is simply not true. It may be less potent, but beggars can't be choosers.
