Aloha,

Those old strains are still around. And they have gotten better. The Big Island is the most MMJ friendly island in the state. Cards are easy to get. I don't know how your GF would react to the vog though.

As for what the genetics of what you were smoking, who knows? Many of us keep large seed banks. Strains here are often a mix of who knows what. Add that to volcanic soil and intense sunlight just about anybody can grow great weed.
