Talk:G-13

does anyone know what they are talking about

this is a article based on rumor, and false rumors at that, the fact of the matter is the governments involvement with g-13 is highly circumstantial. Indeed g-13 is a code, for marijuana, however not a certain strain. G-13 is a code used to differintiate those marijuanas that have been cultivated and cultured to the point of medical usefullness. G-13 is still used to day by the government as a classification system, if a certain strain of marijuana is considered applicable it will be classified "g-13".

furthermore it is pop culture which has degraded the image of "g-13" to being some sort of super crush. In fact, the first strain considered "g-13" was a high kush region indica sensemillia, which was one of the first to be cross germinated with another high potency plant.

Anything with a net content of 25 percent thc P.P.M. can be classified as g-13.

there is a genuine strain named g-13 distributed by a number of Dutch and Nether distribution companies, however the use of the name is a ploy, but on the contrary names usuallly carrying g-13 are of the "g-13" class.

on another note, within small distributors g-13 is somewhat of a joke, like if you got a bag of some mystery stuff of some plant, and u got some rookie wanting an eight from montana, tell him its g-13 and charge him 2,000$ for an 1/8th.

one last bit of info, the cannabis cup ruled pure og kush to be the most highly dominant strain known to man, as it holds an impressive 41% net P.P.m. of THC....thats stoney.

i would like to see this article corected.

theres 2 r's in corrected you junkie

where did you get your info from? references?

Do you have any references that can concretely substantiate those claims above? Also, Percent and PPM in this case, are two separate ways to quantify the concentration of something. It makes no logical sense to to use them together in that manner, unless P.P.M. means something else, then please fill me in... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.206.252.245 (talk) 16:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

There is a a shop in Toronto called "The G13-Shop". This shop is an offshoot of the "Church of the Universe" which was a hippie commune from the sixties turned in to a religion where the Virgin Mother is the mother of all creation and her plant is the Hemp Plant, the Tree of Life. They run a coop of card carrying Canadian med pot users and they breed G13/Haze as part of their collection. They told me that their G13/Haze was derived from a clone of an American medical pot plant, roughly the equivalent of the strain "Chemo" that is used in the Canadian pot trials for medical use. Both strains were supposed to be very high THC content so they could specifically be used for medical reasons. I tried one hit of their g13/haze and it nearly brought me to my knees. To my knowledge, there is no cannabis strain that is over the 28% THC that has been found in G13 strains. OG Kush is another variation of New York City Diesel which is the child of Chem/Dawg which very well could be derived from the Canadian Med Pot strain Chemo. But those strains are more known for their unique taste and flavor, more than their THC content. I have also had the G13/Haze in Amsterdam, at Barneys Coffee Shop. That strain is reportedly a hrbrid made from a male clone G13/haze, grown from 13 year old seeds that came from seed breeder Neville, who claimed that he obtained a female g13 clone, back in the 80's and he had the same story about it being swiped from the University of Mississippi, from what were legal government med trials when the the US medical program began in the 70's. I tend to believe that particular account because I've heard it from multiple sources, going back many years. Some have said that the US med pot is not very potent, so that story doesn't make sense, but it could have been that they had to use different strain for whatever reason in the program and that this particular strain was an experimental hybrid. You can find a great article on the history of Haze strains that briefly mentions the connection to G13, here: http://weed-forums.com/strain-bank/12176-haze-story-more-warning-very-long-read.html

this article is horrible

could some wiki-savy person either fix it or delete it please?

Agreed, I think the last 3 paragraphs of the main section, also the Etymology and Popular Culture sections should be shortened and rewritten or deleted. (Jay) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.206.252.245 (talk) 16:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Utter shite. Delete —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.79.199.159 (talk) 11:50, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, the article just survived a deletion review, so that probably won't happen. The subject deserves (and given stoney culture will probably continue to get) an article; it just needs to be rewritten to document the urban legend, document the growers exploiting the urban legend, and have the BS frat prank aspects ("Michael Hallman"?) removed. -LlywelynII (talk) 13:37, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

It shouldn't be deleted, iyt just needs to be fixed

Innaccurate

Since when is 1/8 oz. 2.5 gms? If the one verifiable fact in the article is this wrong, how incorrect might the other stuff be???? John Elder 07:43, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

For what it's worth, 1/8 oz. is about 3.5g, which means the author probably just made a typo.

On the other hand, 2.5 gm would be 2,500,000,000 m in distance, and metric abbreviations don't take plurals. -LlywelynII (talk) 13:37, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

That would be Gm, not gm. gm doesnt mean anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.149.1.199 (talk) 06:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Experiences?

Have anyone tried this? It sounds awesome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.198.76.19 (talk • contribs)

I had heard of G-13 marijuana smuggled from a secret US Governemt growing facility in Mississippi as early as 1977 in High Times magazine, if this ads any credibiliy to the story. And most likely anything being pushed by the seed banks as "G-13" in origin would at least live up to the terms of definition in potency and character of high. A friend recently acquired a cutting from a grower who claimed it was the real deal G-13, who also sold him a 1/2 'O' from his last crop. And as a seasoned smoker who's tasted some of the finest soaring highs on the planet myself, I can say it certainly lived up to the definitions I've read about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.212.8.237 (talk • contribs)

It doesn't, although if you could find the actual article and cite it, that would at least substantiate the urban legend aspect of the article. -LlywelynII (talk) 13:37, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I've tried a strain called G-13 and it was pretty amazing, completely chill experience, no paranoia. Truth be told though, G-13 is just a name, like everyone used to call sinsemilla-grown marijuana Chronic, or for a while everything was blueberry this or white widow that, or Dutch something-or-other. A name is a name, just a marketing scheme. I mean if your weed looks kinda dank, why not call it widow. Rarely however, you will find something nearly or completely authentic but as far as an objective perspective is conscerned, G-13 is just a strain and a very interesting urban myth. Interesting note about urban myths however, is they sometimes originate from some degree of the truth. 71.56.201.149 (talk) 06:49, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm on some shit this guy said was G-13. It's pretty fucking good. But all this $500/eight stuff is bs. It's like 20 a G, 60 an eight, $400 an O. Which isn't that much worse than normal bost weed prices.

I think the last statement is over simplifying it. Cannabis Breeders have devoted their lives to the careful cultivation of what we now know as the modern strains. I've had Blueberry that smelled like someone opened up a case of fresh blueberries in the room and it was bred to be that way. Or a New York City Diesel that was carefully bred to retain subtle and recognizable features like the taste of ripe red grapefruit or of a soaring uplifting high that is short lived. These strain have very clear differences and do very different things to different people. So I wouldn't just toss out those names like it doesn't make a difference. To med pot user that needs the body relaxing stone of a heavy indica, the heart racing soaring high of a good sativa could kill them. Read the story I linked to at the bottom of the first reponse.

lolz

weed similar in potency to g-13 does not go for $500 an 1/8 on the street..the stupidity of people sometimes... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.48.19.203 (talk) 13:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

ive heard about this? aparently a female IA agent, took a cutting of the species, that the american goverment had been growing o see what kind of drug they were fighting agianst. This utting was taken to the owner of the sensi seed company, who just so happend to be was of mr Howrad Marks companinions inthe drug in the early 70's. where Howard lest the life to become the famse dope smuggler, his friend bacame the owner of the rihcest seed company in the world, g-13 was later re-named by the only known owner of the stand as Howard marks seeds. The g-13 has cultivars of itself, as the g-13 haze beimg one of the top smokes at the cannabis cup —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.188.68.85 (talk) 01:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

G13 an Urban Legend

The only US government produced cannabis is from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). It contracted with U Mississippi @ Oxford to grow cannabis for medical evaluation. That cannabis is "notoriously low in THC," ranging from 2% - 5%. The conclusion of the article is that G13 has its origins in Hollywood, rather than in a secret high-grade cannabis lab or farm.

It pretty sure the yank government would grow green for experiments, especially as it is a widely known fact that they are behind the modern day recipe for acid - which they deveoped for use in interogations. What a lovely government! Makes me glad to be be a Scot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.12.154.191 (talk) 20:18, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
