Hope this answers your question ='D

Cheech: I even smoked that Tied Stick, and that didn't do nothing to me man
Chong: Tied Stick?
Cheech: Yea Tied Stick... you know, that stuff, that's tied to a stick!
Chong: Oooh Thai Stick

Hey Reaper you know that quote you have isn't Rage right? I bet you do. I hate when people don't know they are listening to cover songs. Anyway just being lame. I could of gone to that reunion too, but I got in line to late and wasn't about to buy the three day pass.

It's stronger today, but they are also more likely to cut it with oregano or spray it with windex or some shit like that now.

Most all of the good stuff from the 60's through the late 70's was imported. This was before people started growing "skunk" and "sensi".

Columbian Reds and Golds were very good, but not the strongest strains we had - the large Thai Stick, Hawaiian, and many other brands were stronger, and hash from Tibet and Nepal were great also. Oh, and we had hash oil to punch things up - but it really didn't catch on because the weed and hash were all we needed. The average smoker was more than satisfied with so-called "commercial" Columbian, which went for 35-50 an oz. in New York, in the 70's. Columbian Gold and Red was going for 50-60 an oz. at that time. There were other types that would show up, as well. Jamacian commerical was plentiful, and cheap, in the early 70's - and a good alternative to the worsening supplies of Mexican. There was the famous "Black Gunji" as well, which was about 100 an oz. really powerful Indica.

I'd be happy to find some good Mexican again - especially Michocan, which was among the first of the really strong weeds I'd gotten, long ago.

Yea hah... Rage never covered Insane in the Brain =P

I've heard it in person while on they were on stage with Cypress, never say never, and that whole song is like a cover.

[canuck grower]

best rage cover of cypress hill is how i could just kill a man! great cover.

anyway yeah you could do all sorts of experiments but I will take the word of the several guys who were there that have posted here. it's not scientific but i see no reason for them to gang up and lie about it as a joke or something. i'll be interested in the experiments but i would bet dollars to donuts that they just confirm what's already been said here. :jointsmile:

Someone was telling me that in the 80s even, you could get an ounce of dank in florida for $100. The entire coastline was wide open for smugglers, and this state was like the mecca for weed. Then the starting using the military to control the coast.

Also I think even though they had good buds back then, most people smoked regs. My cousins dad started smoking in vietnam, and this guy is pretty loaded. However 30 years later, he is still smoking regs. One time we blazed w/ him and he said our nugs were too potent, that he likes regs better.

Yes, you nailed it! We had excellent high-grade bud in the 60's and 70's but it just wasn't as common as now. Columbian, Jamaican, Nam, Cambodian and even some Mex was just as excellent as today's Blueberry and the rest of the best and if anything is different it's the prices. High-grade cost more then if using today's dollar...iow, a $100 bag of Columbian red bud cost about the same as a $350 bag of today's Blueberry...Coke's only cost a quarter then and a phone call was only a dime! But I miss the flavor of some of those old strains...

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

My uncle kept 3 oz's sealed in a jar for 25 years

We smoked a few bowls of it and OMFG! It looked just like old bud, it was still sticky though. It hit incredibley smooth out of a handpipe and I was completley ripped. This was deffinetley some high quality shit.
