### - NOT!!! lol :)))

coz pineapple god is IN the house! :D

oh yeah...

add haymaker-haze and super-g-citra to that and am set for another month, mmmm...

haymaker haze being owned/produced by tyson the boxer, whose apparently invested in the production side of things after reputedly having a
personal encounter with some type of skunk and liking it, several strains
now being directly down to him including this haymaker haze... which at
first glance/smell indeed looks the business! (looks lovely in fact,
especially through that loupe)

but halfway through this first dose of PG it's just beginning to touch the spot, it's defo in the post now heh, there's a feeling of an increasing lightness of being... how nice + have been looking forward to this as it
really is yummy stuff, and quite content to leave the others to another
day...

on a different note altogether: looks like the troubles are increasing
between india and pakistan? this being the last thing the world needs
right now what with everything else going-on...

they've had horrible wars before that lot (they get sooo upset?) + gandhi
must be turning in his grave (again) at the prospect, both india &
pakistan now being nuclear powers with around 150 nukes each, albeit they surely wont be stupid enough to start exchanging them, but indeed appears
to be going a lot farther than their former border skirmishes of only light-arms fire, them now target-bombing each other and shooting down
planes, each threatening to retaliate even more the next time, it's the
same old story!

it potentially having a knock-on effect should it really start getting
rough between them, dragging everyone else into even a world war if/when
nukes get involved; our world is walking an increasingly very fine line
huh, let's just hope it doesn't get any fuckin' finer, geeze...

pineapple god DOESN'T like it! - and neither do i !

do we HAVE to behave like nutters ALL the time??

fuckin' hell this planet sometimes huh, and this humanity sheesh...

how DID we even make it this far??

slider's quick solution to several things: give 'everyone' in the uk over
age 16 £500 per week for life! :)

manufacturing will go through the roof & petty crime like shoplifting and burglary will vanish virtually overnight! (anyone still stealing needing medical help) more will go to university, debts and loans nationwide will
be paid back on all levels and businesses will boom! add good wages to
that 500 per week and people will buy houses and be able to pay for them! they'll all WANT to work and make plans! the investment of giving everyone
500 per week being paid back via people being able to have vastly more disposable income + the increased earnings to the coffers from all the
extra taxes earned on all that booming trade! - if we're gonna tread water
then why not tread it like that!

and coz then EVERYONE would be better off instead of having to live hand-to-mouth 24/7!!!

bit of a pipe-dream, true, but it could even work heh...

smile, that pineapple's god's alright haha ;)

### - well there was a reason why tyson called this one 'Haymaker Haze'
heh, coz at 28% it's a knockout ;)

and coz fuck me that's a strong smoke, it also looks/tastes/smells very
nice in a more earthy way and is more-ish because of that, anyone
completely straight would likely have quite a difficult time on it coz
you're suddenly gonna be very stoned indeed, noticeably so! (average
tolerance people would be falling about giggling for example) plus have
another and you're inevitably gonna be taking a little snooze to boot not
long after :)

it's not strong enough to cause 'excursions' though, and anything less
than that is considered mild by yours truly, yeah am stoned but am still
in 'this' world, the core of myself so settled/firm in it's grip on this reality all it really is is a strong-ish feeling of being quite stoned
while still being exactly who i usually am...

ditto the super-G-citra, which is also actually very strong at 28% too,
and which has a noticeably marked effect and fairly nice taste, but again equates with just being very stoned as opposed to being pushed right off
your spot, both great daily smokes if that's all you're looking for, but
then so too is the platinum-G strain my local man currently has, it's very strong too but nada special that would have me seeking it out again unless that's all there was, unlike those candy-store and pineapple god strains
which are certainly just as strong but have the extra added bonus of also tasting particularly/distinctively and memorably nice as well... enough to settle for 20g of each per month on a regular basis if nada better ever
comes along, it being difficult to imagine anything being 'much' better
than those for the reasons already stated...

next month's choice already selected, and consisting of more pineapple god
x 2 (of course), something called 'Kush Cookies' @ £6.50 per g by the same company 'upstate' that supplies pineapple god, and also some of that new 'Hawaiian Rain' mentioned @ £11 per gram! (their most expensive to date)
just to (ahem, cough-cough) see what it's like heh... something justified, perhaps, more in the spirit of experimentation rather than indulgence
hehe, the likelihood being that it's just another strong one (at 31% it friggin' aught to be! lol) that maybe has a nicer taste due to having
'hawiian' in its title (sounds fruity!) but also the very small chance
that it's of 'excursion' (military) strength and thus worth pursuing, the
high cost being less of a consideration when it comes to those as usually
one needs considerably less of them to hit that spot (even the smallest
amount of thai grass does it for example, a bag of that would last for
ages)

else really/so far, it's all down to candy store and pineapple god, and
they've run out of candy store duh... (it's such a lovely smoke i actually
miss it)

else really i'd have to say the novelty is beginning to wear-off somewhat,
it's very nice to have access to such variety and that's been genuinely appreciated, haven't tried so many different types in such a short time
for many-many years, decades in fact, amsterdam being the last time and i
saw then how people generally settled on a particular daily smoke when
faced with multiple choice, it being only the tourists who go mad trying everything haha...

smile, this tourist is beginning to get-used to it all a bit now, however,
most of them being pretty good smokes if that's all you're looking for,
one or 3 of them having a lovely smell/taste as well, but nada to equal
the 'old school thai' of yesteryear (heh) that tripped you every time on
the smallest amount, that effect being nothing less than exhilarating to
say the least! ;)

oh well, and ho hum, it's all back to the daily grind again huh, might
even go do the dishes and clear-up a bit haha, it's been like living in a
fog here for the past 4 months, and lol you can't 'do' anything under such circumstances but wander around in it, the fog changing slightly with each strain, each forcing a slightly different focus but still only all within
that fog...

don't really know the future for all this either, can see myself perhaps chasing around to different clinics trying to get-hold of more candy store
and pineapple god, but that's about it, i don't actually live for this
stuff, it's just always been a good/constant friend ;)

so then, could hawaiin rain perhaps be the one??

watch this inner-space ;)

### - coming back to haymaker haze... this turns out to be an interesting
one in other ways?

you realise, of course, that all these weeds produce different 'moods'

that it's these moods that colour/flavour one's perception accordingly...

and this haymaker, besides beng quite strong, has a distinct effect in
terms of these moods

i.e., it' a very nice and pleasant mood that's actually very comfortable &
warm

dunno how else to describe it really other than it's a very welcome
sensation, calm but not in a sedated way... it's just a very nice place to
be!

you feel kind of solidly centered in yourself and it's a comfortable
feeling, one that inspires confidence in yourself to continue being &
feeling very level...

noticeably so! and that's what makes it quite distinct :)

and because i know i've experienced this same feeling before some time ago although i can't remember when, obviously it's in me and i've been there
when some other criterion, some other experience elicited it because it's
a very familiar and welcome feeling, although again, i can't remember
under what circumstances i got there and only that this strain has brought
me back to it, it being a mood i'd quite like to remain in given the
choice, but how to get back here again sans the catalyst??

that is indeed the question, and the challenge...

knowing it exists being one thing, finding it again, non-accidentally,
being another!

for here is a very level mood of clarity worth cultivating, but having
arrived here by artificial means i've nada to refer to (in terms of experiences or activities) that would be repeatable so as to elicit it
again, hmmm... cc would have said one had to 'intend' it if it's going to
be volitional, but then that's easier said than done when once out of it
you'll hardly be able to even remember it properly, let alone reproduce
it... the alternative being to keep some of this haymaker around only
that's not really very practical long term, hmmm...

anyway, just thought it worth mentioning... it being an interesting idea
that moods not only directly affect 'how' we perceive but also 'what' we perceive, a potentially interesting & useful tool should one ever learn to wield it correctly...

laters ;)
