i dont believe that the pot is any stronger today than in the 60s since thats when i started to smoke. the best at that time was alcupulca gold and vietnamese and cambodion. i liked cambodian the best and i think it was just as strong as bc bud. in fact a lot of times im stuck with crappy pot these days i long for the "old pot" a lot sometimes. also a friend of mine grows skunk in NC and thats real good
