Walter White is making weed now?
I thought he was too busy assasinating that Iranian IRGC scientist/general by remote control.
Huh?
Zipr was talking about some extra-potent blue weed. Walter White was making some
ultra-pure (and highly potent) blue meth.
... Dude, you have clearly learned nothing of weed over decades. If I could make a watch as tight against water as you have been against facts, I would be making bank!
Blueberry is a strain well known in the world. It is a foundation of modern marijuana horticulture, having the interesting trait of, well, tasting and smelling like blueberries. This aromatic property is actually owing to the close relationship with the hopps plant, btw. Of course the plant is generally not blue but because of the variance in the plant (again similar to hopps) it also does have a wide range of colours, from white, to blue, to purple, to red.
Blue dream is a popular hybrid of "blueberry". If someone speaks of what weed they last smoked, there is like, a ~20% chance "blue" will be part of the name. Blueberry is a cornerstone of modern weed horticulture, too, because of its potency: it was one of the first weed strains grown professionally through modern horticultural techniques to increase yields.
Once upon a time there were various "walter whites" of weed who did learn the science of growing weed. Then they published that information and you can buy horticulture guides and be as walter white about it as you want.
Your Incredulity that people could get as serious about their weed as people get about their hopps in making beer is telling.
In fact, enterprising human are now experimenting with brewing techniques that substitute the aromatic elements of hops with those of marijuana.
If you want to get REALLY scientific, though, you turn towards "oils", "distillates" and "dabbing": someone discovered that owing to the solubility of volatile aromatics in liquid/supercritical CO2 you could selectively isolate them from the rest of the organic matter and then purge out the CO2 later.
The result is either a solid with a consistency like pitch or a liquid (which can contain crystalline precipitates), or even occasionally hard clear sugar-seeming crystals that people call "thc diamonds" depending on the purity of the fractions they obtain.
There has been a long tradition of getting creative with how to smoke a substance with such a wide variety of physical consistencies. Usually, the idea is to affix it to the end of a thin metal stick or blade or spatula or needle and then drop it onto a heated element that allows for all the vapor and smoke of the distillate or "wax" to be pulled through the pipe to the user.
One thing that has become a recent trend, though, possibly the coolest part, is that now the synthetic gemstone industry is getting a boost from us stoners in the form of "banger pearls", small beads of gemstones designed to act as thermal mixers inside of the enclosure of a pipe where people put their oil. Their thermal properties then prevent the beads from breaking or melting at the heats involved. So if you ever want to buy a handful of cheap synthetic rubies or whatever, now you know where to look.
