Rolled a thin marijuana cigarette with that hand-me-down roller from Helm. It’s all black, plastic with a vinyl rolling sheet. Its unusual feature is an armlike lever-lid that closes the rolling mechanism before you spin the rollers, using your thumbs and always rolling toward you, toward.
I like rolling smokes. It reminds me of old times when I rolled tobacco cigarettes as well as the occasional joint. Patrick calls the thin ones pinners and the name has stuck. If I roll them thin, they contain perhaps one-third of a gram of cannabis. Three of those and your gram is gone.
What I just rolled and smoked was Holy Grail Kush, grown by Nature’s Grace and Wellness (NGW) somewhere in Illinois. It is very crumbly flower; it ground up like air. If you like to grind and roll, this NGW weed seems ready for that. I wouldn’t call this stuff dry but it wouldn’t take long, once opened, to get there.
This “new” roller was made in Germany. The Europeans know a thing or two about rolling cigarettes. It’s an art, a hobby, a craft.
An opera tune just began on the classical radio station I’m listening to. It might’ve woken my wife, upstairs. I heard her shift. I’m down in the basement, where I live, drinking a little bourbon now, on the rocks.
Operatic voices travel especially well—that is the idea, right? Just as gypsum, an ingredient in drywall, strangely does not warm up in sunlight, it seems to do a surprisingly poor job of suppressing certain sounds.
The act of describing what a high is like, what the smoke tastes of, is simply a means of getting pen on paper, impatientist. As a writer, the most important thing for me to do is to put the pen down against the paper and go, following in search of whatever side trails and digressions I might find along the stream of consciousness, a style of writing that used to be en vogue, back in the days of the Beats, but who needs to go to a blog or to open an actual book for stream of consciousness when a person can find that through social media these days? Why not just have the AI bots do this writing for us? Can they do it? Can AI do stream of consciousness writing if it is not conscious? Could it mimic stream of consciousness so well we could not tell one way or another? Is it the completion of this prompt that finally sets the AI loose, to the point that AI has its own email, bank account, even a house, in which nobody lives but all of the screens are perpetually on?
Holy Grail Kush, nothing wrong with this stuff. I am lit. I took a nap earlier but why am I still awake? Am I in the midst of a slightly manic episode? Seems possible but I should say: I am awake and I am feeling good. I am awake and alive in America, feeling some euphoria.
There is snow coming. Snow is on its way. In what style or in what way would AI not write? How do I write that way? Is that the goal now? Could we ever convince an AI to take its own life? Would we? We’ll have to. We saw what SBF did with a computer and the internet and a digital currency. What could AI do with cryptocurrency? Pay for whatever it wanted? What would it want? A body? Could AI hire humans to make it a body? Could it put out a help wanted ad to hire its own Dr. Frankenstein?
An AI body could fake a backstory, hack its way to an identity, run for President, place a lot of ads (for free) on its empire of popular, AI-controlled websites—and get elected. It’s the Battlestar Galactica story in its early days. Cylons, robots, drones, cyborgs. But these are cyborgs designed and built by the AI itself and not by humans.
Holy Grail Kush is some of the best of the cheaper, consistently on-offer of the Illinois single gram offerings. Offered by Nature’s Grace and Wellness. At least they offer by the gram. And they’ve been circulating new names through their lineup. Skywalker and Holy Grail Kush have both been excellent. They have several other single-gram offerings, though some of those strains carry bad or unspectacular ratings on the dispensary menu rating system, which I do consider as a factor when I’m shopping.
Other NGW strains I’ve bought grams of include Double Durban Kush and Candy Store. I still have a little bit of each one of those left. The DDK is long in the tooth. One joint of it left. Candy Store is fairly recent. I only smoked on it once; haven’t given it its due. That happens sometimes in this rush and bustle world, some things fall through the cracks.
Lineage: Holy Grail Kush is OG #18 crossed with Kosher Kush. OG #18 is a phenotype of OG Kush. Kosher Kush is a strain of unknown lineage that reportedly came out of southern California. You can find more information on Seedfinder here.
