Marijuana Myth Busting The G-13 Marijuana Strain

[Matt Mernagh]

There are plenty of problems when it comes to developing a consensus on stoner culture. Prohibition warriors’ disinformation campaigns, stoners’ embellishing their accomplishments, and lastly, potheads involved were, naturally, high when shit went down.

Getting the straight toke is nigh impossible. Do we care? The M-Files does. I believe the Toking Truth Is Out There between bong rips, vapor hits, joint rolling, and toking. Many marijuana facts are actually marijuana myths, like space aliens, talking dogs and Mugwumps.

The G-13 marijuana type is fine folklore worthy of The M-Files examination. G-13 is a strain of cannabis that is purportedly taken from University of Mississippi Top Secret cannabis lab. Back in the day, U.S. federal government scientists had been genetically honing G-13 to be the most potent pot plant ever.

Possibly G-13 was created as some sort of truth serum for FBI or CIA spooks. Who wrongly believed strong cannabis extracts would make homegrown commies, foreign spies and other evil despots breakdown and confess their diabolical ways. Government research revealed G-13 only made people giggle under bright interrogation lights.

Recognizing G-13 value amongst his pothead friends, a reefer-loving researcher cloned the super potent sativa strain. Then snuck these clones out University of Mississippi lab before distributing cuttings to friends. There is some probability to this story. A few clones placed in test tubes are easily tossed into our insider’s lunchbox and taken home.

Where he grows the plant out in his backyard. Providing samples and cuttings to friends to grow in their yard. Possibly our horticulturalist brings a few inside during the winter months.

But why didn’t the scientist ever acquire seeds.

Accepting the clone theory forces us to realize that any future G-13 marijuana strains would be crossed with another strain for seeds. Regardless of backcrossing G-13 would never be in its pure form as grown in University of Mississippi lab.

Had this unknown scientist, who to this day remains nameless, a secret better kept than Deep Throat, taken stable G-13 seeds and cuttings we’d be closer to believing G-13 kicking around today is legitimately from University of Mississippi lab. However, the marijuana myth goes that our stoner scientist stole only cuttings, not seeds.

G-13 is a great stoner story worthy of a Wikipedia entry. Thus it’s not surprising when G-13 begins to pop up on the stoner scene in seed form. Obviously a new improved G-13. A newly developed cannabis strain was coined G-13 in honor of the marijuana myth. Given a great legend too hype its potential.

Who doesn’t love a fab cannabis tale?

In numerous Yongesterdam bring your own bud shops I’ve come across plenty of potheads sampling G-13 in the Volcano Vaporizers. A local Church of the Universe produces their own brand of G-13 seeds and sacrament. It’s a fantastic uplifting spiritual sativa high.

But plenty of potheads report G-13 isn’t a sativa, but a highly resinous indica. A lively debate will break out amongst your posse during a session when the topic of whether G-13 is an indica or sativa is discussed between bong rips. Given its fantastic legend G-13 is probably both a fucking incredible indica and sativa, depending on where the strain was procured. The one common feature found amongst all reports and samples is the copious amount of resin G-13 produces.

I Want To Believe, G-13 is a liberated marijuana strain from University of Mississippi. A pure G-13 government grade stash exists somewhere still vacuumed sealed. Plausible considering we recently discovered a 2700 year-old shaman’s stash. Which also contained cannabis seeds. Scientist failed to germinate them.

The bulk of the bong filler known marketed today as G-13 is just that a cleverly coy cannabis moniker. But we love G-13 for its stoner lore. One day a trench coated toking man will meet me in an underground car park armed with G-13 seeds and samples. The M-File on G-13 will remain open, allowing me to continue to sample various offerings.

Friday The M-File’s investigates the ‘90s phenomena of homemade vaporizers. Did Gen X potheads actually use soldering irons from hardware stores to vaporizer their cannabis?

Great article!!

..makes me wonder though, if G-13 is so potent then why is all the rest of the weed that comes out of the University of Mississippi so freakin' awful?
