That’s what I’ve heard as well. I do have a question, though. Back in the day we used to take the seeds out of our lids and plant them. If you did that today, would it be as potent, or is it something they do after it is planted that gives it that extra kick?
It was the year we graduated HS that $10 lids began to be replaced with $40 Colombian gold, Panama red, Jamaican etc that packed a potent kick enough to be well worth the price increase.
That June in a Good Times Van a group of school chums headed for Colorado for a week.
Talk about a Rocky Mountain High.
I recently met a professional grower of marijuana. I really learned a lot about it.
Its something of a competitive arms race in the industry to breed varieties that yield much higher CBD and THC content.
He said the difference over the decades is comparable to the power of your first Atari Computer in 1980, vs. your MacBook today.
People are taking one-hits and getting as much THC as a joint of the dirt weed of our days.
Back in the day? Are you still living in the 1960s?
He's talking about 20 years ago. IOW, the late 1990s.
No one in the late 1990s/2000s was smoking Mexican dirt weed.
There’s a term I haven’t heard in decades. Mexican dirt weed. All compacted together with stems and seeds. Brown as shoe leather and guaranteed to make you tired and anti-social. What did I find so great about that crap? Once skunk-weed hit South Jersey, the quality of weed got better and Mexican dirt weed was no longer in demand.
My doctor and I talked about that. I told him if I could I’d smoke pot for my pain. It makes me sick now though. I get the drunk spins. He said....this isn’t the same stuff we smoked as kids.
