I happen to have grown up in an area of central california where there was a plethora of great growers and breeders. My cousin, in the mid 70's thru the early 80's, grew commercial redhair skunk that would rate as high grade in any dispensary today, sold in LA to 1 buyer. Had a bro in high school that when 15 had one of the first hybrids I'd ever smoked, big round baseball and softball sized buds that looked like they were dipped in glass. I have a picture of me and 2 buddies the morning I was leaving for duty in Korea, they woke me at 2am and we smoked a whole bud, frigging fried my brain all day. Had access to weed that ounces looked like quarter pounds in the 70's and 80's, afghani weed that would get us high 8 hours at a time. I have a bro from hawaii, dude, they had dank in the 50's and 60's!! No if's ands or butts, bros, like it or not, brick top is right, there was some bad ass weed in the day, a lot of which has been transformed INTO what we are smoking today. Some of these guys just can't get past that point, shows their intelligence level. some have been lost due to governnment intervention, etc, etc. I would love to get hold of some of the red haired skunk seeds my cousin had, that was some of the sweetest, happiest smoke ever, nice and frosty, everybody loved me had ounces of the stuff on me all the time.
