The most sacred herb is Purple Kush

For it no longer truly has been proven to exist.

I've been lucky enough to have it once, and it was a superb high. The best? Not quite... it's definitely up in my top five strains though.... powerful shit.

It was the shit back in the 70's..George Carlin had a little skit on it.

No stems no seeds that you don't need
Acapulco Gold is.........BAD ASS WEED!

REAL trippy high!!:thumbsup:

I had heard that is was all wiped out when the feds were providing the mex govt with paraquat and helicopters to spray all the fields they could find. However I think I have seen it at some of the seedbanks so it may still be out there somewhere. For you youngsters, in the late 60's and early 70's the feds had a program of spraying mexican and columbian pot fields with a defoliant called paraquat. Nasty stuff that stayed on the plants and could (and probably did) have some very unhealthy effects on the end users who smoked the weed. It's use has since been banned in the US.

if this is the shit that one side of the leaves were purple, i know what ur talking about. i got some purple haze the other day and its bad shit.

as far as AG goes, to alot of people it is the yardstick to which all other buds are compared. so is kryptonite. if you haven't had kryptonite, go to CA and find some. ive heard people say...'damn, i feel like i just smoke kryptonite' ever time they smoke good bud. so hey you cant lose either way. buy some!

Just my 2cents...

Past strains are crap compared to what is grown nowadays.... in the 70's, the average THC content of weed (per ATF figures) was from 0.2 to 2%.

Ok, nowadays, the chronic that your smoke, is between 15 and 20% THC content.

In the old days, all this shit was grown outdoors. Now, it's grown indoors, getting SCRoGed, LSTed, grown hydroponically, with super fertilizer, bloom boosters and 1200Watts of artificial Metal Halide & High Pressure Sodium lights.
I'm happy to say that today's chronic will kick "Acapulco Gold's" ass any day.

Of course, an outdoor grown plant can get to 50% THC content....

Bollocks, todays weed is no stronger than in the 70's. And that up to 50% THC thing is also bollocks.

[robert42]

lmfao 50% thc bollox

Howdy brains,

Yup...I've toked alot of AG,back in the 70's,some here in Texas and mostly up around Chicago,back when I was in the Navy. I used to pay 35-40$ a quarter for it. I used to go out on the strip near the base and git a bag and head off to a local creek bottom,where I'd take out my pocket bong and fill it with some ice water I grabbed along the way..and then proceeded to git fried ! :stoned:

The sun-shine went from a regular yellow,to a metallic golden light and the grass got greener and the sky got bluer..and it always gave me a possum-eatin-shit grin...lol.:D

Have a good one !

[latewood]

Hell, I got that beat Torog(glad to see you out of your cave) I smoked panama red and acapulco gold...back just out of highschool...there are some innercircle cali guy's with plants and they occasionally seel or give out clones.
In my Opinion, I have never smoked anything like panama red...Smoked one at lunch one day and didn't come down until dinner time...I have blueberry strains skunk strains Jack Herer crosses afghani crosses...NOTHING has ever blown me away like the old days,,, Of course there might be a tolerance question. lol&ol
another note on this Great 'OLD' School reefer...It was full of seeds...If I only knew back then...anyway, I get a kick out of it when you kids read about the best 2 strains of MJ ever made...lw

[drinksmokesleep]

Read SMOKESCREEN by Robert Sabbag that tells you everything about colombian strains, if your talking about what im thinnking of. Not the stuff from legal bud shites sorry sites

Oh dear. Folks, another brain to be saved from government propaganda.

[drinksmokesleep]

are your old enough to have tried the acapulco gold from seventies i am thinking abot STDzRus......The stuff alan long was bringing in

[STDzRus]

I am sad to say I am not old enough to have tried the Acapulco Gold from the seventies. :(

I have hanged around alot of older people who have though.

And I have also seen pictures of my uncle charles..of a GREY WEED. He said it was the smoothest smoke he ever had, with one of the best high. Not a one hitter quitter, just, the best high he ever had. Of course, he has claimed to have gotten his hands on Acapulco Gold, Maui Wowie, and all the likes of great weed from back in the day.

If only I lived in his day :dreams:

[t3chyo]

my dad has this old bronze belt buckle from the 70's that has a pot leaf ingraved on the front and on the back it says "Weed Hall Of Fame", I cannot remember all of them on there but there was AP, panama red, mexican, thai, jamacin...maybe i did remember them all.

[friendowl]

thats some has been weed.
im sure it dont compare to whats going around today.

AG was as good as what we get today. it was an outstanding high. it was what the columbians did before coke. Panama Red was a great body rush of a high, do you think the Greatful Dead would make a song about lame ass weed? not likely! there was excellent mexican also-Michoacán. named after the area it was grown. there was Waki Weed also, which was the original 1hit shit. last but not least was the Jamaican strains. like Chocolate Thai and Lambs Breath. all these weeds were as good as the basic exotic i smoke today, with the exception of White Widow and Kush. which i'm sure all agree are the BOMB.

[GanjaBob]

Turtle ... your dumb

[Irv]

i was always partial to thai-sticks in those days :rasta: :D

[Fengzi]

No.

Umm...YES.

Like infidel say's the California Cannabis clubs sell it. It's good for pain relief because its 100% indica and super potent. I've gotten some before but didn't particulary like it. Got me seriously stoned but knocked me out. Might as well have taken sleeping pills.

[highjinx]

never smoked any but all the pics iv seen lokked pretty good???
