Back during that era The Jamaicans and Rastas that I used to hang around with in two states used to pronounce sinsemilla weed sess for short.
Story time.
Back in the 80s I was living on Miami Beach doing construction work. My co-worker buddy from Philly asked me to take him over to Liberty City, Miami to do some business. Breh was down with the The Nation of Yahweh/ Black Hebrew Israelites at the time.
We go into an abandon apartment in the old Pork n Beans projects on NW62nd St taken over by some Rastas that were selling
wholesale weed. I have never seen so many
large garbage bags filled with weed. Maybe 20 or 30 bags of them just in the area we were in. Anyway, moving along they were getting ready to do their Friday night Sabbath prayers and read some old testament scriptures so me and the homie from Philly took our shoes off and joined the worship cycle. Afterwards they were kicking the knowledge and wisdom about life and Babylon and other interesting bs.
One of the Rastas jumps up and just had issues with me being in the set and started ranting in patois and wanted to go into the closet grab a gat and gat me. I stayed cool as ice and didn't get shook. Maybe he thought I was the feds because I was clean-cut and didn't have dreadlocks.
Moving along an
Jamerican breh from D.C. nicknamed Jabou told him to sit his azz down, these our my guests and I stand on it. he complied. Homie from Philly picked up a few ounces of sinsemilla and gave me one. The high lasted for hours with no paranoia or drowsiness. Jabou came over to the Beach one day after that to chill out and apologized for the stress incident.
I took some of that pkg back home to Conn on a plane before TSA and shared some with one of my sister-in-laws and her friends. Everybody said it was the best herb they ever had in life!
Now y'all know what that "I can't stand sess" bar means. It comes from the Islands and Streets over here.
