Harret Checks In

What's in a name?

People in the cannabis community love the plant. We love it so much that we want to share it with our loved ones. If we have only one kind of plant or product it would be easy. 'Hey Bud I'd like if you tried some of this plant.' And if there is blessing of more than one type to share? You get it, names.

Human gets to make all the names, some descriptive. From fanciful to serious, some names are numbers (bang my brain). They are just names. For derived products, the names imply a characteristic; Shatter, Butter, Full Spectrum, FECO, on and on. There will be new names.

Names in my memory are geographical and descriptive, like Colombian Gold, Panama Red, Jamaican Red, Green, Brown, Regs a nice name for dirt weed, Homegrown was always a good name. And then my world changed in a day, they called it NL5.

Yup, what's in a name, it's Platinum.
Platinum Purple Kush, Platinum a very high grade indeed. These buds meet the tough standard by displaying their Platinum sheen. Easily seen against a flat black background with a led flashlight, I use reading glasses to look at buds close.

The very small size resin heads light up under the light at different angles. My thoughts wander to sunset, days waning, harvest time approaching, thick colas swaying in the cooling breeze, leaves turning an unmistakable purple as buds swell in anticipation.
Hmm, think I'll sleep in the patch tonight and catch the view at sunrise, shining Platinum light.

   Gooday, Harett :))
