That's a good point, there may be a purple strain with similar effects but stronger?
he means Austin city, Texas.
In my honest opinion, i think people put too much emphasis on purple being a factor in how good weed is. its purley a visual thing.
this purple colour has been harnesed by weed growers in the same way florists have created colours of flowers.
during summer you will quite often see a purple tint on the odd flowering nettle if you go out for a walk in the country. the purple is purley a gentic mistake/throwback occuring in the plant. it doesnt make the nettle sting any harder or less.
as i said before, in a grow of ten plants, one of the plants came out purple, this was simply a gentic throw back (possibly a purple plant in the family tree, or a genetic mutation). the weed, although very pretty and purple, was exactly the same strength and taste as the rest of the weed.
