That is pretty much exactly how I perceive it too. Well said!

Those Holland's Hope can get huge. The only real outdoor grow I was involved in had one of them as the main plant. She ended up 7ft tall and al least 10 feet around - unfortunately the winter started cold early that year, but the purple bud that came off her was stupid strong head stash.

Those who grew up in my era didn't discern between buds or leaf.. whatever we could get.. by the nickle and dime bag.. before that it was by the lid.. (the amount that fit in a tobacco container lid).
Often the leaf was better than the bud, because the leaf would of been regional from someones home crop (no one imported just leaf) and the bud while imported, was a mixed bag . (every pun intended)...
The original Colombian Gold, while a different kind of brown, was a very musky grass.. that was part of it's allure.
The stuff coming up from Mexico was males, females, leaf, stems, seed.. all mixed together.. and it was brown mostly to the way they dried it and then packaged it tightly in bricks. No one batted an eye at it though.. you had some Mexican grass, spark it up.. I used to hitch hike a hundred miles for a 5 finger bag of good Mexican grass.. cost me 5 and then 10 and then later 20 bucks..
It wasn't always just the quality of the weed, but just having something to smoke on while you and your friends did thinks like spun records and talked about God and the universe at light speed late at night and stuff.. very magical.. it wasn't about just getting couch locked.. it was about getting high and enjoying life.. not watching TV and seeing others enjoying life.. if that makes any sense..
What I mean is no one went 'this isn't green finely manicured organically grown bud? Hrrmph'.. Ha.. that just didn't happen.. hell, the US Government even spayed the crops with Paraquat (poison) thinking that would stop us from smoking Mexican grass.. never slowed us down.. but hen the Senator found his son was smoking grass with Paraquat, they stopped spraying crops.. ha..
Everyone always dug good grass, and we had ever potent strains in the day as well.. there was a lot more feast of famine and a lot of dry spells at times.. no one would look any grass in the mouth.. Hell, smoke bowl shavings aluminum files, cat hair.. I know there is some resin in that goop somewhere.. almost literally.. We've come a long way... don't get me wrong, I am not saying the 'ol days' were better.. (although some of the imported grass certainly was at times)..

not sure what the OP's weed was, other than the descriptions given
but i do recall some Mexican weed way back in the 70's that would occasionally come around
not often, very seedy, would have a shiny brown look, good amount of visible buds
Michoacan is the best guess from other posts i've read, excellent stuff

I don't think anyone in the UK will have ever bought or smoked any Mexican weed in this country. Maybe some super Mexican hash occasionally imported from Holland. I must say I'm quite keen to try some Mexican shwag - see how it compares to the South African block weed we used to get a lot. I used to love the Indian weed we would get back in the day, such a delicious smell (even the browner stuff).

you don't want the Mexi Schwag... lol, TRUST me! 
The grass is NOT always greener on the other side... punn intended!

I bet the Mexi schwag is better than UK soap bar (Moroccan hash melted down, adulterated by Spanish importers with anything from henna to tyre rubber, then sold in council estates/projects throughout Great Britain). 
We could have an alternative cannabis cup, try and find the worst cannabis in the world. LOL

That's pretty much the only thing that makes any sense in this entire thread. Plus everything I said, of course.

No, actually Egotism is more fitting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egotism
You're losing your grip on that PhD you were holding so tight the other day, lol.
But jokes aside I honestly think he described it well. It really used to be magical. Nowadays you get mocked for smoking natural weed, like there was no joy from smoking before the invention of HPS lights and engineered weed.
People today allowed themselves to be reduced to biological machines, called individuals, always looking for the "correct" percentage and ratio in everything. They're obsessed with numbers and with trying to control natural processes in order to predict whatever it is they are trying to control. Once they can label the nature with numbers, they're happy again.
It won't be long and we'll start dining at Pharmacies. Who needs food when pills have such a well balanced mix of vitamins and minerals, right? And weed won't grow any leaves soon either. You swallow a seed from a reputable bank and wake up two days later to tell your mates all about how you don't remember nothing. And that will be the next best thing. No more magic, no more mindbogglingly philosophical ideas. Just a crazy dumbing high for the sake of itself.
The movie Idiocracy comes to mind for some reason.
