My friend's dad started smoking in the mid 70's, and since he is a hardcore cannasoir like me, i can only assume he tried some of the best shit that was available in the States at that time. I burn with him nowadays, and he constantly tells me how amazing the stuff i get is, even calls it "super weed" lol. He never actually said that its better or worse than the 70's shit, but every study i've read says that U.S. pot has like quadrupled in potency in the last 20-30 years.

But anyways, the shit i get is always smellin different, sometimes fruity, sometimes skunky, sometimes piney, sometimes even a little minty. I like the variety, but my favorite smell is definitely this shit that my friend calls mango kush, its like skunky and fruity at the same time and makes you cough your dick off and be gigglin after one hit.

However, I wouldn't go as far as to say that smell directly correlates with potency, because my friend has some shit right now that LOOKS amazing, and gets everyone who smokes it high as fuck, but smells like fuckin dryer sheets and tastes like... well, nothing. Even though it's potent as fuck and gets the job done, i'd prefer to smoke some mango kush for sure. To me, taste and smell are secondary to potency, but still very important to me. i love me some good as shit like that one guy was talkin about where the nugs are sparkly like theyre covered in tiny diamonds and they smell so good you just wanna pop one in your mouth.

I wish i couldve seen the 60's/70's for a shit ton of reasons, but i got absolutely no problem with this "youngster" weed.
