Herijuana
1/9/2018
Although the real clone-only Herojuana cutting died in 2008, because I was a greedy moron who never shared it and had no backup when it became diseased, some seeds had been sold on Cannabis World's C-bay a long while back (by User: Dave Matthews ~94-95?) and Motarebel not so long thereafter began selling seeds claiming that he bred it. The seeds sold on C-bay were a cross of Herojuana and a SAGE plant from Santa Cruz, which I never really cared for -despite its awesome yields- because it took 6-8 bong hits to get you as high a a single hit of the true Hero. The original Herojuana was extremely short and small yielding with extremely round leaves (not long and thin) and it grew like an octopus: it spread out and got wide (growing downwards towards the ground then back upwards.. in a 'w' shape, but never got very tall. The SAGE cross was very tall and looked like a typical sativa. Before Motarebel began selling his Herojuana, there was a 'Vic High' who had Herojuana seeds on his Canadian-based website which he claimed came from an old strain of Petrolia Headstash. After growing out three batches (30) of those seeds- purchased over 1.5 years) it was apparent that this petrolia headstash was in no way related to "the true Herojuana". Herojuana Tom grew out hundreds of commercially available strains between 1989-mid 2000's (including all those claiming to be "herojuana") from Super Sativa Seed Club, Mark Emery, Dr. Greenthumbs, and all the "OG" seed banks but never found anything even close to Hero's potency nor its effects...nor smell... nor taste...nothing; not even a close contender!!! Herojuana smelled like Amber and Pine cones, and tasted the same. One rip of the original Hero put a metallic taste in your mouth (like at the beginnings of a psychedelic trip) and the feeling was likened to the feeling of coming on to some LSD. It made you edgy and paranoid, and also want another hit-- just to see how high you would get- but if you took a second hit, you would either (1) vomit or (2) get so paranoid that you would swear you would never smoke again! Until you came down and then wanted another hit!!! There has never been a strain of herb that I have smoked that has been even close to how strong Herojuana was: It may have been genetically modified, because it's high was such an outlier to the quality of high that all other cannabis strains provide that it had to have some other (still-) unidentified cannabinoid. I would do anything to have a clone again. I have tried dozens of strains claiming to be "herojuana", but none come even close. The herojuana available today is strong, but nowhere near as strong as the original and completely lacks the sublime qualities that truly made the original shine. Herojuana is dead: Long live Herojuana!
