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.
