Advice Too fluffy ???
Hello my fellow stohers and stonhees. I’m over here walking Camino de Santiago in Spain. Stopped off in Madrid for a few essentials 🍃 before setting off on my journey. 🚶♀️
I’m well into my walk now and have gotten to the stage where I said I’d try one of the “Top Shelf Cali’s” I picked back in Madrid.
I am walking for 2 weeks, and for anyone that doesn’t know about the Camino, it’s basically walking across northern and rural Spain, stopping in villages every 5-7km and having food or maybe a beer if that’s your thing, or a smoke along the way.
Maybe I was too excited in Madrid or maybe this is legit stuff, but probably more the excitement of it all.
I usually smoke and vape organic living soil home grown and know I’m not getting that any time I leave the friends circle. I suppose I said I would get some “Top Shelf” for the end of the big 40km days. That’s today for me. It’s a 40km day and I’m rolling this up thinking, is it worth it ?
What are your thoughts ? I have loads more so wouldn’t be the end of the world if you all said it’s sprayed as fuck and to ditch it.
Also, lads and ladies, if you’re single and a stoner or in a relationship with a non stoner and want a holiday that’s different. Go on Camino.

Would you still recommend it if I'm in a relationship with an ex stoned ex Camino goer? The kids won't make the trip I feel 😂. I've had fluffy stuff like you described, I watch the effects, if it's not my cup, I get rid of it. Your body and brain know best, I feel.

I would definitely recommend the trip regardless of you being an ex of a stoned person, ex of a Camino goer, in a relationship with a person who partook in both and no longer does. Ex of them all or future exs of them all. I would still go. If the kids don’t want to go on Camino with cool stoned dad, they will regret in the future (if you are in fact, Cool stoned dad).

u/avidly_gardening 2d ago
I stay private accommodation so around €60 per night, you could stay €20 B&B if ya wanted to bunk with others and shower together. Not my cuppa tae and each to their own. €60 - €70 a night and you’re living like a king. Only let down is the food. BYO 🤣

u/Backtothefutureted 2d ago
Shower together? Haha surely u mean a shared shower/bathroom¿ How long will it take you to do your route ?

u/avidly_gardening 2d ago
Tbh if you are willing to shared accommodation you must be willing to do shared showers. This isn’t my first Camino but definitely my first Camino stoned. The whole route of St James is around 850km give or take…

Download Camino Ninja and put in your start location and it’ll show you all the places along the way you can stop and rest for the night. Camino doesn’t have to be 25-35km days if you don’t want it that way. It could be easily managed if someone was less fit and wanted to do 10-15km days. Most of the villages are beautiful. The people along the way are all great and all willing to communicate with you if you are willing to share very broken English. And when you find you your Korean or Ghanaian or German friends like to get high too and you are carrying like 5 or 6 stains, it gets way better.

This is what top shelf hydro buds look like. I was a frequent Buyer in South Africa which has dispensaries and this is always what really good hydro was like.

Ah man, just do it. I don’t do the whole pilgrimage bla bla, I arrive at my location with my weed and get my main bag shipped on everyday to my next distinction. I stay in private rooms with balconies. I blaze day and night. It’s so beautiful

What time of year would you recommend for soemone who likes dry mild weather, 20°c ish kinda thing?

u/avidly_gardening 2d ago
I’m the same. Now is the time. It’s the same temps as May but May is very unpredictable. Mind you, weather has gotten that way in general. I’ve always went the last week of September and first of October. Bit later this year but the weather is good. 7-12 C when setting out in the mornings but up to 20 C by 1pm. Bright at 08:00 and dark at 20:30. Some days can be very warm for walking and some days can be very wet. The packing list is so important. Have everything you need in your bag for every weather. Have you ever heard that there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear. It’s a bit true. You might need a poncho and you might just be carrying it for the “just in case” but those moments do happen, especially around the mountains of Galicia.

Looks like PGR, it’s common for the “Cali” you get in Spain

u/all_the_drugsss 2d ago
Whst makes it look like PGR to you? What are the identifying signs that bring you to this conclusion?

Looks tops to me but its just a flick on a screen obviously
The fact its called White~ indicates to me its supposed to be high THC/noid strain. Very high by looks of it. Imagine the shake off it.
The big blue looks quite similar but prob not as high %.
The other strains look more 'normal'.. can you tell us if the WhiteZushiZyrup and BigBlue cost more than the other strains? I doubt anyone would be charging more for contaminated buds so unless these cost same or less than the more 'normal looking' strains id reckon they're legit.
id prob be asking the same Qs u are if got these pal. Price should give u an idea of legitimacy. Id expect to pay quite a bit per gram in a CannaClub in ES for these kinda buds. If its cheap its prob trash.

Hey there. The two you mentioned are the two that were the most in price. €30 a gram at 3 grams per bag 😭 I was excited. If I were to have had more than 2 hours in Madrid I would have tested a few batches and bought bulk in the one I liked most. I literally bought off smell, sight and excitement 🤣

I doubt it's sprayed with anything harmful but it does look like it's maybe been covered in THC isolate
