I was introduced to a guy at a barbeque in 1995 who lives somewhat north of Peterborough. He's a 'cannabotanist'; he developed his own strain by cross breeding three different types of weed. One was from California, one was an experimental strain from a University in the Big Ten Conference for NCAA sports, and the third was described only as 'exotic'. Once he had a strain that met his specifications, all of his other plants are female clones.
One major advantage of his strain is that it grows quickly AFTER the first overnight frost of the year, which is very important at his latitude. His product is expensive, (three pounds cost $6K about 15 years ago), but his ounces are 30 grams of all bud, and he'll just give you all the shake created while he prunes the plants; it took him about 1.5 hours to fill my order. All of his plants are dried/ cured in his shed for a year before being sold, so you don't pay $ for water weight. It did, however, cost me an additional $500 for our mutual friend to set up the meeting, and drive me there and back. Nobody does business with this guy unless they are one of his small circle of friends, or someone introduced to him by one of them. He buries most of his money in various stashes in different places on his property. His plants are well camoflaged and spread out so they would be very difficult to identi
'll probably never see this guy again, because the mutual friend died five years ago.
One guy used to buy small quantities from me, and put it in 0.5 gram bags that he sold for $10. The guys HE sold to were street corner dealers in the Bloor/ Landsdowne area - they sold shitty weed to kids from Mississauga who wouldn't know good weed if it bit their asses, and they bought my weed from him for their own personal use.
here we go again.
