My point being Jamaican isn't the only 'sensi' in the world, far from it. People just stopped calling seedless weed sensi, and now just refer to weed by their strain name.
There's sensimellia, which you are talking about in the dry academic sense, and then there is 'sensi', . its obvious the word sinsemellia has wider use nowadays and refers to 99% of what we buy in Dam, but Im trying to explain very patiently what WE MEAN when we discuss the
'search for sensi': there was and is still a variety of top imported jamaican weed called 'sensi', and it still represents the strongest type of outdoor imported jamaican weed, and is like golddust nowadays. To anyone with a working knowledge of jamaican ganja (arguably the best outdoor natural weed) and roots music and Rastafarianism, true 'sensi', as grown by a top herbsman, is something a lot more special than you describe. Its loaded with all sorts of religous/quasi spiritual significance in JA, like charas is in India, so we are ultimately talking about more than just a plant in a way, do ya get me?? Outside of JA you would never just find it, its too rare, you have to hunt for it and be prepared to get a load of shit on the way, yes indeed it may be a seedless bud in front of you that you would say is sensi, but that is just the start.....
If you get a good one (and thats a very big if unless you know a jamaican or you are in jamaica, its a very very closed shop which as a white guy ive only ever penetrated a few lucky times) its more than just a bit of outdoor jamaican without the seeds (which is the minimum requirement), its a killer creeper smoke that lasts for hours and is worth every penny. I suspect that you have never found it as we wouldnt be debating it like this if you had, its darker, stickier and more otherwordly smelling than normal... ..
Trust me when I say its as special as Temple balls are to hash. That is what I was saying, I think its very hard to get the top bollox version now in dam or anywhere for that matter, proper 'sensi' doesnt grow on trees you know
.... Also should you ever need to go hunting for top imported weed (which has been getting rarer and rarer in UK cities over last 10 yrs) you will find the word 'sensi' very much alive and highly useful in Brixton, Wandsworth, (i.e anywhere with a sizable jamaican community) or jamaica itself for that matter, it still has the special meaning I describe above.
Anyway, you might enjoy some cool rasta music and indulge yourself in jamaican culture a bit and float off. Try googling 'Under me sensi' by Barringtyon Levy/Eek-A-Mouse, a killer tune, or 'International herb' by Sugar Minot...be amazed if it didnt bring a smile to your face.
This kind of hash is too strong for me.
