sexual frustration got me baked
Marijuana used to be grown outdoors mostly, until the government started sending helicopters up to spot farms. So weed moved indoors. The “endo” we heard Snoop rap about is how he pronounced “indoor”. The shit.
Our government is trying to stop people from getting high, but people love to get high, and the government is making matters worse. Indoor weed is much stronger than the stuff grown outdoors. With timers and automatic watering and fertilizers, pot can knock you out.
Here’s a quick look at what’s happening. The female marijuana plant produces buds with THC that gets us high. A pot farmer removes the males from the grow room to prevent the females from producing seeds, which reduce the potency. Now the farmer begins cloning the females, so there is no further need for males. To clone you simply cut a branch off the “mother”, put it in water, and a new plant will grow from that.
These females are looking for the male pollen in the air, and each generation feels the collective pressure building, and the buds become stickier and stickier in an effort to catch the male’s sperm floating in the air. However, in an illegal airtight basement there is no way for the male’s pollen to drift by.
It is the lack of sex, then, that makes the plant so sticky – if I’m to believe what I heard in a bar. A little research suggests the resin is a way to keep the plant from drying out in hot weather. Is there anyone out there with a definitive answer? I’d certainly rather believe it’s horniness that’s getting everyone high.
