In my experience Europeans fall into two drug taking categories, either they’ve never taken any or have done more drugs than any American that wasn’t a professional musician in 60s-70s or a professional wrestler in any era could survive
That's been my experience, too, actually. There are also some poor souls who just chug along, sadly smoking the cardboard-tier weed that they get, over there.
Last time i was in the UK I met a girl that was so excited to smoke me out, she rolled and handed me a spliff and was shocked I wasn’t out of control stoned. I didn’t have the heart to tell her she was smoking straight dirt
Be honest, though: the spliff itself was rolled like a work of art, right? They dress that weak-ass weed up with some advanced rolling tezniques, across the pond.
Yup. I knew an Irish dude and his girlfriend who would do exactly the type of shit you're talking about. He looked like an 18th Century romantic-era poet, too, which made it even more surreal to watch this motherfucker taking 22 minutes, painstakingly rolling up the tightest, most perfectly crafted spliff in the history of smoke.
It isn’t often we get a cultural win over them so I always revel in it, being from the south I deeply want to give my welsh drinking buddy some moonshine
Fucked if I know the exact definition tbh. Biscuits are more crumbly, cookies are more moist and generally have other things added to them, like chocolate chips or m&ms. I just know a biscuit when I see it. Your biscuits look more like savoury scones but I can't say I've had the opportunity to try
UK is a bad example though, it's basically an island that has an issue getting decent weed... decent anything really, they're consuming a ton of crappy coke, too. Horrible quality doesn't stop them though.
Crappy coke just seems like a natural safety feature, really. You toot a bunch of baking soda and flour, with some cocaine added for spice, party your face off, and you're never really in truly elevated danger of a heart attack. I'm sure it saves the NHS a lot of trouble.
Unfortunately, people don't simply add baking soda, but rather animal dewormer on one end of the spectrum, and fentanyl on the other, with all kinds of creative bullshit in between.
I've been to Amsterdam a few times and california/colarado a couple times as well, so I think I have a good grasp on what good weed is like. And yeah a lot of weed in the UK is piss poor (which is why traditionally we would smoke hash) but if you know where to get it, you can find some one of the best week anywhere on earth. Easily the best, frostiest weed I have ever smoked has been locally grown UK stuff. That was grown by a freind of a freind you crossbreed discobiscuit with some strains he got from dam.
That sounds like you experienced organised crime’s commercial grade PGR weed. A real pity. Analogous to the wine industry our bud runs the entire gamut from bunk to top-tier here in Europe. Some of us do alright. Don’t you worry. (Source: over thirty years enjoyment of the world’s recreational wonders)
