Yep and this is also where the buzz discrepancies come into play as well...
If you have been smoking shit all year long and then you get something that isn't shit (like columbian gold) you get 10x higher than you expect and all of a sudden you think it is the greatest thing ever grown. When in fact, it is just much better than absolute shit, but still nowhere near as good as today's bud.
I can see the reason why one would think this.....as it males good common sense.
But in reality all the great hawaiian weed i used to smole and some that i've grown, as well as jamacian, thai, the golds........really are much more powerful! The highs lasted much longer and the type of highs were much more diverse. I was smoking all the time, some of the best, and everytime was blasted!!
Most of what i'm smoking o
r growng from todays stock is much better than that crap brick commercial, but doesnt come close to the top self weed back then!!! I even ran into some sic commercial about 5 years ago that was dense gold big podded sativa, and it got me soooooo ripped for 5-6 hrs i almost went to the er. Now i was smoking much at the time of todays strains, chocolate chunk, trainwreck, haze, chronix........and still this hell sativa blew everything away, and no seeds!!!
Breeders now are concerned more about looks n bag appeal, maybe even smell......but no one used to really care as much about those qualities as they did about steller highs and flavor. It is truly dissapointing to me to smole weed today and not be able to experience those types of highs n flavors.
And the sativa's you get from the seedbanks arent on that level of quality.
I remember some years back when Arjan came out to Hawai'i to score some oldschool genetics, but the locals arent easy to share their elite stuff....so they gave him just some average genetics!!!
Thats why you dont find the really rare super chronic strains from seedbanks.....people dont want to share them with the world, thats their bread n butter, how they make their money. If everyone has it, then no can male the money. I know its hoarding, but its important for some to keep it like that!
I guess i'm tired of only getting high nowadays for an hour, two if its the best of todays......bummer......dragon chasing can be a let down.......but i'll chase it till i find it!!!!
