“I don’t smoke outdoor weed.”
“Pot grown outdoors is really only good for putting into edibles.”
“Indoor weed will always be more potent than outdoor weed.”
Fuck. That. Shit.
Over the last year, I’ve heard budtenders say each of these things, contributing to a pervasive myth hanging around Seattle’s pot stores. People think that outdoor-grown weed is inferior to warehouse-grown weed, which is total bullshit.
Outdoor weed gets a bad rap because there are a lot of farms east of the Cascades that produce what I call commodity pot—you’ll end up stoned if you smoke enough, but it doesn’t taste very good and it won’t be a very interesting high. Yet judging all outdoor weed by the worst outdoor weed is like judging all pizza by the cheapest ketchup-covered slices.
