Modern basketball shoes might contribute to Achilles injuries by changing how much force reaches the tendon. This has not been proven in NBA players.
* Example: A player plants the ball of his foot, drops his heel, then explodes forward. That puts heavy stress on the Achilles, which connects the calf to the heel. Injury videos often show this pattern.
* High-tops aren’t proven safer. The “10% less tension” finding came from a small cadaver study. A separate study of players found higher Achilles loads in the high-tops tested. Shoe design matters beyond collar height.
* What would test the theory: Compare specific shoes during explosive movements, then track injuries while accounting for playing time, age and injury history.
* The takeaway: Shoes could be one contributing factor, but claiming modern shoes or year-round AAU caused more NBA Achilles injuries goes beyond the evidence.
the Forum cookies story: 🍪
🍪 Before Forum
Forum Cookies emerged from the larger GSC story, where names like F1 Durban (also called Purple Pain), OG Kush, Cherry Pie, Cherry Kush, Cherry Pie Kush & Ethiopia appear in competing origin accounts. Forum’s exact genetics remain unverified.
🧬 The Source
Red Jay says he traced a sought-after GSC cutting to Complete, a grow store in Emeryville, California. Owner Nick connected him to someone who had it. Whether the plant originated from bagseed or an S1 remains disputed.
💰 The $2,000 Cut
According to Red Jay, he paid $2K for one unrooted cutting after searching with his friend P. They rooted it at their warehouse, took backup clones & quickly gave one to @abf_genetics_co, also known as Ghost.
🚨 The Raid
Red Jay says a nearby police raid brought heavy law-enforcement attention, forcing them to abandon their warehouse. They had flowered the plant only once before leaving. The raid remains independently unverified.
🔥 The Forum Circle
ABF later shared the cut with Prop, Crunch & other ICMag growers, according to Red Jay. Another grower recalled a BBQ at Abja’s house where the cut circulated. It wasn’t bred by a forum. It spread through forum people.
🌱 The Name
By 2013, growers were discussing the “Forum cut,” named for its circulation through ICMag. Some believed it was an S1 of Thin Mint, while others questioned its lineage. Its earlier breeding history remains disputed.
⚖️ The Fight
Cookie Fam voices questioned outside Cookies cuts as bagseed or impostors. Forum growers defended a recognizable clone traceable through Abja. Its identity became famous even as its earlier origins remained contested.
📉 The Plant
Forum earned praise for frosty flowers, dark foliage, purple petioles & loud bag appeal. But growers complained about stretch, small buds & disappointing yields.
🌊 The Spread
As @abf_genetics_co shared the cut, breeders crossed & reversed it. Forum traveled widely, bringing mislabeled clones, imitations & arguments over authenticity.
🏁 The Legacy
Forum helped move Cookies beyond a guarded Bay Area circle into the hands of growers everywhere. Its legacy wasn’t just the flower. It was access.

knottyy: the story of Knotty
📸 the roots: before hash, knottyy was darien chin, a seattle photographer building an online following in the mid 2000s. he shot landscapes, portraits, cars & commercial work, shared lighting breakdowns & released a photography book around 2010.
🌿 medical era: by the early 2010s, his curiosity had moved into washington’s medical cannabis scene. his exact start in extraction remains unclear, but early community members remember him among the BHO educators sharing knowledge through forums & youtube.
📹 2013: knottyy brought people inside the process. his videos covered extraction equipment, vacuum pumps, purging & the reasoning behind his methods. one vacuum pump comparison passed 250,000 views, reaching aspiring hash makers far beyond washington.
🧪 open knowledge: at a time when extraction techniques were closely guarded, knottyy tested equipment, showed results & explained what he learned. as shatter, wax & honeycomb culture grew, his tutorials gave newcomers somewhere to start.
🤝 the pioneers: alongside educators like bret maverick, knottyy helped shape early online hash education. years later, people were still recommending his videos & remembering them as part of how they learned to make concentrates.
🏭 going legal: as washington’s adult-use market developed, knottyy brought his experience into commercial extraction. by the late 2010s, dispensary menus carried wax, diamonds & sauce under listings like “MFused (Knottyy).”
🔬 what’s next: knottyy is now working with his best friend to open REUP Tacoma, a recreational cannabis shop in washington. part of their vision is bringing back the Knottyy shatter line through select collaborations with producers & processors, reconnecting his early roots with a new generation.
🧠 the legacy: knottyy never needed to invent BHO or claim every first to make an impact. before hash education became an industry, he was already testing, documenting & teaching. a generation watched, learned & carried that knowledge forward. now, with plans to bring back his shatter, the hashologist who helped teach the internet is preparing for another chapter.

all thai’d up: ATU the sith stick saga 🥢🔴⚫
🏠 916 born, forged in the shadows: from sacramento’s underground, All.Thaid.Up —also known as ATU or Darth Natrix, built his reputation roll by roll. no production line, no shortcuts, just a craftsman with bamboo skewers, steady hands, and a patient approach.
📜 thai stick roots: drawing from the vietnam-era tradition, ATU brought back the method, flower set on bamboo, coated in rosin, wrapped in leaf, cured slow. the build is deliberate, aiming for balance like a double-bladed saber.
💨 donut pioneer: before hash-hole was common slang, ATU was running rosin cores through his rolls. mid-burn, the center opened into a white donut, the dark side halo.
💎 premium to the core: 4–6 g of indoor flower, 0.5–1 g fresh-press rosin, fan leaf wrap, hemp-wick tie. humidity is kept at 55% for an even draw & long burn.
⚔️ the double-bladed cannagar: a signature style with two finished ends meeting in a slow-burning core. often referred to as Sith Sticks, they are built with intention and consistency.
🤝 alliances & apprentices: notable drops include the Outlaw collab with @cityexclusives415. production rolls are always finished with @organitips, wood or glass only. bamboo molds for thai sticks are custom made, no silicone used.
📰 holonet hype: featured in @HIGH_TIMES_Mag 2023 Ones to Watch: the Roller Economy. on reddit’s r/artofrolling, recognized as a Sacramento-grown master roller.
📦 rare as kyber: no formal licensing or dispensary placement all rolls move through the traditional market & never directly from ATU. monthly output ranges from 200 to 400 units, priced for the connoisseur.
🎯 collector’s weapon: @organitips wood or glass, nothing else. most are kept sealed until the right occasion.
🔥 the dark side of craft: a blend of traditional technique and solventless precision. here to serve the connoisseurs of the community, delivering the best possible work. much love. 💚🤙🏽
only pressure, never play. 🥢🔴⚫

The Fall of BHO: From Top-Shelf to Bottom Barrel 💎📉
💰 Golden Era Profits & High Expectations: In its prime around 2015–2017, Butane Hash Oil (BHO) concentrates commanded wholesale prices of $30–$50 per gram, incentivizing producers to turn high quality flower into luxury concentrates. BHO accounted for nearly a quarter (25%) of total cannabis sales in leading markets like Colorado & Ca.
🏭 Big Producers, Big Crash: Large-scale producers like @_rawgarden flooded the CA market with “good enough” live resin at $12–$15 wholesale, collapsing margins. This forced craft BHO producers, to pivot to cheaper methods & lower-quality inputs—triggering a downward spiral in product reputation.
🍯 CRC—Cosmetic Trick or Purification?: As producers scrambled to stay profitable, Color Remediation Column (CRC) tech saw wide adoption. Designed for purification, CRC gained a reputation for deception. 1 insider put it bluntly: “CRC amounts to fraud—it makes low-grade, dirty distillate look like top-shelf live resin.” Another added, “CRC can take trash-ass old trim and make it look good again—minus the terps.”
🍋 Terpene Loss Problem: CRC’s aggressive filtration stripped terpenes, leaving concentrates “flat,” “dry,” or “chalky.” Producers often added synthetic or excessive terps to compensate—turning off connoisseurs chasing authenticity. As one put it: “If it’s too white, it ain’t right.”
🔥 The “Hot Dab” Era: Early dabbers overheated titanium nails, leading to harsh hits, “dab sweats,” & even fainting like rapper @RoscoeDpg —while burning off terpenes & creating toxins like benzene. This turned away & intimated consumers from bho. But sparked a shift to low-temp dabs & e-nails.
🌿 The Solventless Revolution: By 2023, solventless rosin surged to 21% of CA’s dabbable concentrate market—doubling in 2 years. Its pure, chemical-free extraction & rich terpene profiles won connoisseurs. W/ retail prices averaging $45–$90 per gram (vs. sub-$20 CRC BHO), rosin redefined the new top-shelf.
🛍️ Budtenders & Shift in Consumer Behavior: Budtenders emerged as key influencers, steering consumers away from CRC-heavy BHO toward solventless options. Retail data shows their impact—1 CA budtender’s consistent praise of @JettyExtracts solventless vapes turned them into top sellers. As they educated customers on spotting CRC & emphasized rosin’s purity & flavor, the market followed.
🧯 Safety Scares: Concerns over residual solvents, CRC media contamination, & memories of the 2019 illicit vape crisis further tarnished BHO’s image. Even w/ strict testing in legal markets, consumers increasingly viewed solventless extracts as cleaner & safer—driving a major shift in preference.
📉 End of an Era: BHO now sits firmly in the budget-tier market. Most craft producers have pivoted to solventless extraction, driven by consumer demand for purity & transparency. While BHO still moves in volume at low prices, its reign as the premier concentrate is over.

Bro even brands that grow their own plants be white labeling flower too. 😂😂😂
Their own grows ain’t always big enough to keep up with demand so they source flower from other growers to fill the gap.
Just because a brand grows doesn’t mean everything in their jars came out of their own garden. 🤣💯
