Then, again, you need to talk to the people in this very thread who are denying that.
Well, my message goes for them, too, I reckon.
I spent a lot of years in KY, and now live adjacent to it in IN. All I’m trying to say is that if you don’t have an intimate relationship with your pot dealer (we don’t) how in the fuck do you have any idea where it comes from…and further, as long as it produces the desired effect, why would you care?
I always disliked mystery product. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t prohibitively picky, but when I had a choice I knew what I was getting.
According to the DEA, Mexican pot is primarily outdoor grown. Canadian pot is increasingly indoor grown, as is Georgia/Florida weed (that’s the “where I am” I referred to).
Outdoor pot is harder to control than hydroponic indoor weed, as you probably know. You tend to get lower quality. Also, very large-scale Mexican operations (and their fields are, on average, much larger than US outdoor operations) don’t have the space to properly cure the weed, so it’s simply “piled and dried”, which results in the brown, compact, and sometimes moldy “brick weed” typical of Mexian “trucker butt”.
So around here, if you’ve got some fluffy, aromatic, bright green, hiqh quality stuff, it’s hydro that has been properly cured. That means it’s almost certainly local, or in some cases imported from BC.
If you’ve got dark, dense, low-quality schwag, it might be from a US outdoor operation, but more likely it’s Mexican.
Here’s one DEA report that touches on some of this.
