Granted I have not smoked every new strain out there but I do remember having a joint of Acapulco gold, the thickness of a matchstick and it getting me and 5 friends absolutely fried from one toke. The rumor that pot today is 20 times (or whatever X you like) greater than back in 1970 is pure BS. I smoked some dope back then that I literally tripped on, and I hasten to say that I did about 60 hits of acid back in the day, not to mention psilocybin and mescalin, so I know what tripping is all about. You have not lived til you've dropped a hit of acid, smoked a BUNCH of good pot, dropped a hit of psilocybin (mushrooms) then crush up and snort another hit of acid. Up until snorting the last hit of acid it was all great.
I remember getting some Acapulco Gold back in 1972.

2 Things I remember about it.

1st. It was a small lid (about 1 finger) gold in color and $20 (twice the regular price for a 4 finger lid).

2nd. I took 1 hit of a very small joint, I was instantly fucked up, my mouth went dry and my tongue swelled up.

I had never had any weed that good before. :bigjoint:

lol NOTHIN YOU OLDER FOLKS WERE SMOKING BACK THEN WAS CLOCKING IN AT NOT ONLY NEVER 20% PLUS, BUT NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THAT NUMBER.... prolly speak so fondly of that shit cuzz in your head those were better times, possibly the best time of your life has a youngster, and your tolerence to those less potent yesteryear strain was not what it is todays, with all the diesels, kushs, ect..........


today we breed for flavor, potancy, vigor, ect..... back then they only bred for faster flowering times and yield

HAHAHAHA! again, the average potency has increased. I'm confident that premium thai/columbian/indian from "back in the day" was every bit as potent as anything grown today. you can keep lying to yourself though. :eyesmoke:

you say that because you never smoked any of the weed back them. The good stuff then was every bit as potent as the good stuff today.

that's because you are inexperienced, and every generation (when young) tends to believe they are the "ultimate" when they are just links in a chain. you will change your mind as you get older as life does that to you Jr. ....don't worry, you'll get there lol

I hear the potency is up to 80% THC now, according to some Canadian breeders. BWWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The seeds are only $400 for a 10 pack. When I was young, I knew every fucking thing too - junior, AND I could smoke your ass under the table.

i find it funny has fuck you guys are raving about some weed that by todays standards would be considerd good mid-grade at best.... even if that shit was seedless its not going for 60$ a 1/8 {average street price for 3.5 grams of the best grade}

yep. most peeps aren't ready to have their weed flower for 18+ weeks, so indica was added. breeding has raised the bar for speed, taste and yield to be sure. you've obviously not had any of the strains you are knocking...so you are just guessing.

the 10's will be over before you know it little guy.

again, you are guessing...and don't have much of an imagination about the possibilities.

so why do breeders go on about the original land races? Check DJ shorts essays sometime.

I find it funny that youngsters like you believe the standard government propaganda line that weed today is too strong. You probably couldn't even take 1 full toke of some good Acapulco Gold or the original Maui Wowie without getting knocked on your ass. The strongest herb I have ever smoked was back in the late 70's to early 80's. The good stuff today is good, but not any better than the good stuff then.

Bubba Kush sucks balls. I have some; you want it? It's total shit compared to my Super Lemon Haze or Maui Wowi. I've already done smoke reports on all of them. For the record, this year I grew Bubba Kush, Power Kush, Hindu Kush, along with SLH, MW, the Church, and a bunch of 3 different autos. The SLH lasts for 6 hours; the kush maybe 2. I have very happy, creative thoughts on SLH, can't go to sleep at all on the BK and I have what almost be called nightmares every time I smoke it.

I had a lot of respect for you up until you started bashing things that you have no knowledge of or experience with.
