Olde Time Smokers

[BOgart.bitch]

i asked my mom this question.. she wasnt smoking in the 60s but mostly the late 70s and through the 80s.. she said that the only reason she would classify old time weed better is that you got more and sometimes it was laced with hallucinagins.. or however the fuck you spell that.. hallucinating off of a bag would kick ass. i envy her.

My friends dad said that in the 60's 70's he would smoke this Hawaiian hydro that would have him so stoned he couldn't find the door.

I started smoking in 1977 -- you could still get Panama Red, Acapulco Gold, and real Thai sticks, as well as big bricks of blonde and black hash.

I was gonna mention Acapulco Gold. I've never smoked it and I don't really know shit about it, I'm only 22. But when I've spoke with older growers/smokers from the 70's, they all mentioned Acapulco Gold and how strong it was; I've read about it in various books too, it said that just one joint would put four men on their backs.

Howdy GTC,

Yup,AG,is/was dang good,as well as the other classic strains,and I say that most could hold their own against alot of these new-fangled strains. I miss the weed of the '70's,I started toking in '73 and had some of the best smoke then and very little like it,since. Yup...I miss the '70's and the smoke we had back then..my intro to modern strains,was when I grew out some of the test beans that led to the developement of Cindy-99..that smoke was sheer ambrosia..I can only imagine what the finished strain,C-99,is like.

Have a good one !

new fangled -- lol

Acapulco Gold was this bright yellow pot pot. It was extremely potent -- at leasst for it's day. But so were the other classic brands. Unlickily, I only saw these specialties a few times before they suddenly disappeared and became unavailable, but it sure was a great intro to smoking 101

Hey? Anyone preserve any of those old seeds? If you did, clone me good buddy ...

P.S. My dad caught me smoking in the basement and flushed the last 1/2 oz of Acapulco Gold I ever saw. That was just before they they sent me off to boarding school.

Most U.K. people I know in the 70's smoked solid. It was superior to the soapbar crap you get now as it was imported from Holland. Went there to work in the late 70's, and viewed "bush" with great suspicion until I tried some. The high was different to skunk, though no less potent. Resin was easier to transport.

in the midwest, it was usually just commercial mex (green and red celophane-wrapped kilo's) but decent enough to sell for around 15-20/oz, 100 or so/lb. once in a while a friend's brother or someone would send a package from oversea's and we'd have some most awesome nam or cambodian for a while...or thai sticks. even more rare we'd get panama red or jamaican but usually columbian was always around (red and gold) and fairly reasonable at 4-600/lb.

to compare the different era's is hard but i'd say there is much more decent weed around now while top quality remains hit or miss on the open market...always around if ya grow tho. prices are pretty much the same when inflation is considered, maybe even cheaper now for some. remember, back then minimum wage was 1.15-1.25/hr.

and by "decent" i'm talking about the b grades...between mediocre and primo/top quality.
