WTF? Why do you think that "Kind" LED called their lights that? That's like saying, "Is the term racist or raciss?" "Tooth or Toof?" Kine is slang. Kind is for people that like to fully pronounce their words.
Yea kind bud is what I've always called it. And I been smoking for 13 years. Never once have I heard anyone even mention or spell it kine. I've been surrounded by buds, terms, slang and thought I heard it all
Kind around here. Never heard of kine before. I had someone tell me "it's not called kind bud anymore, it's exotic now" lol . I still call it kind or kb "Kind bud". Not only is there Kind lights like the poster above mentioned. There is kindsoil, which is made for bud growing. Full disclosure the guy who makes it last name is Kind. But he probably used it because it makes sense . "Grow your kind bud in our kind soil."
I think it is Kind Bud. The "Kine" or "Da Kine' I believe is derived from Hawaiian dialect. Similar to how the say "shave ice" instead of "shaved ice".
