weed in the 60s early 70s

Even most of the shitty mexican schwag has good genetics, but it was pollinated for one thing and went through a hell of a trip and probably a year before it got further north and was smoked by people like us. You get high of schwag even if it's not so awesome. Grow the seeds, you could be pleasantly surprised.

I think a lot of that applies to the 60-70s as well. Maybe it wasn't always sensi or it'd been used to make hash before it went out, things like that. There was probably a lot of shitty weed like someone mentioned, which is why you may hear people who were around back then say that the weed is better now. It's also all about who you know. You can get shitty weed and good weed nearly anywhere in the world today.

It is not that weed today is necessarily stronger, it is just that stronger weed is more common today than it was back in the day. The reason good weed is much more common today is because growing techniques, not the plant have evolved. However, in certain countries and in certain households in the United States during the 60's and 70's they had equally as good if not better weed than we have today. Even though this existed, the majority were getting 10 an ounce shwag

Me and my dad had this conversation one time, hes a great friend and smoke with him everyday. he was born in 1960 grew up in rochester, MI. just outside of det. he said there was just as good of stuff back in the 60's-70's as there is now, you just have more of a varity to choose from now, but what you pay for a really good quarter now you could of gotten a ounce for back then. but yeah, i think because of science theres just some super dank shit out there now that old hippies couldent compete with back then.

Panama Red, Acapulco Gold from the old days I'd put up against most any strain out now. The Acapulco fucked you up big time!:S5:

By the way, lets keep this chat to WEED.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

i dont know, but my dad(class of 75) said that he thought, when you got good weed, it was better then todays. he says that Acapulco gold was so sticky all you could do was just drop it straight in to the bowl. he said the calyxes on that shit were white. i've also heard some amazing stories about panama red and this dark, black, gooey hash oil. One hit and you couldnt take another

Acapulco gold was the shit dude, your ol' man don't lie at all! Back in about 77 me and some buddies were all fucked up on columbian to the point where we were kind of melting into this tree we were sitting against. I had a half a jay of A.G. and DAMN.......it was like Chong in Up In Smoke.....it's like it brought us to a completely different level. :S5:

I say, back in the day they had better weed.

Why do they say it is more potent today? Well read this...

Makes sense to me...my dad is surprised that I'm not getting "1-hit shit" and is like "theres gotta be stuff thats like 1 hit and your done, back in the day we'd take like 2-3 hits and we'd be totally out of it" or whatever. He's also dropped names like "acapulco gold" and said that they really liked this stuff "sinsimilla" (I know, its latin for without seeds).

Also, if you've watched drug years, you'd know they were all about quality back in the day. They'd fly out of country just to get better shit. Nowadays dealers don't care about how they treat the customer. People were much nicer back then, so it makes sense they wanted to get better shit for their clients.

Now, theres still great shit around today, no doubt. But it was definitely more plentiful back in the day.

Mexican was $15 an ounce
Columbian was $20
A.G., Jamaican, Panama Red.......between $20-$25 an ounce

Grams of afghani and black hash were a dime a dozen.......get that for about $5 a gram if I recall right.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
