When dealing with the topic of marijuana, you have to know the basics. You gotta have...Chronic Sense. I will be the tour guide on our magic schoolbus flying down the information superhighway, as we invesigate Yes-I-Cannibus!
Shwag
Smell(in the bag): Thick & Dense. Not too pleasing.
Smell(smoke): Very strong stench will remain in area smoked for hours if not properly ventelated.
Texture: Falls apart in hands. Much like popular phrase "grass."
Crystals: Usually none.
Hairs: Usually fell off your dealer's head. No natural red hairs.
Best Smoked Out Of: Joints. Easy to roll with shwag, and you'll need a whole joint to even feel it. Don't waste it on a bong.
Flame
Smell(in the bag): Decent smell. Has 'Skunk' quality of the odor. You can tell it's, eh, so-so.
Smell(smoke): Also very dense smell that will remain in area if not ventelated, however, slightly more pleasant then shwag smell.
Texture: Not as stringy as shwag. More compact, and less prone to create a lot of shake.
Crystals: Usually some. Not very pronounced, but if you look close, you'll see a thin layer.
Hairs: Usually quite a bit. In most flame, there is a good amount of hairs, however, like the weed, the hairs are just, so-so in quality.
Best Smoked Out Of: Blunts, however this is a very adaptable type of cannibus. You'll get results using pretty much any method.
Hydro
Smell(in the bag): Very intense sweet odor. The smell alone can get you high.
Smell(smoke): Sweet smell that lingers, but disappears quicker then other types.
Texture: Varies a lot. Can be light and fluffy, or compact and solid.
Crystals: Lots. Buds will be littered with crystals. When your done handling it, your hands will be too.
Hairs: Lots. The buds will have many sections packed with groups of red hairs.
Best Smoked Out Of: Bongs, blunts. Anything will work though. You can eat it and practically feel the effects.
