The history of weed growing in Canada (especially BC) in the 80s and 90s?

First....you keep ignoring the "mass scale" part of my point.

Second... hydro got going on a mass scale in BC in the late 80s...by the early 90s the scale was so large it was supplying the west coast and most of Cananda with better weed than was available anywhere else, which is why it spread. By the mid to late 90s it was such a problem in BC that the courts couldnt handle it.

Third - Marc Emery STARTED his seed business in the early 90s supplying growers in BC first then the US, but by then BC was already exporting to the US on a scale that drew complaints by the DEA to Canadian officials. BC was also already exporting at that time to Amersterdam, which is bolstered the rep of BC Bud that added to the explosion of exports to the states.

If US states were doing it better and bigger then why did US hydro not get any international rep until the late 90s early 2000s?

Again, and for the last time...i am not saying BC invented it. Hydro was going in a lot of places around the world at the same time. But it exploded in BC in the late 80s, due to lax laws enforcement coupled with more liberal attitudes and that explosion paved the path for medical weed, which HC sanctioned here in around 2001, which eventually led to the medical movements that eventually followed in CA, WA, CO....

Those facts are not in dispute as i said. What i am after here in this thread are the stories of the individuals who were growing hydro during the start of this... they paved the way for the rest of us and deserve some respect/kudos for opening the door to the legalization movement...
 
Also... HA didnt get involved in BC hydro until the mid 90s and only because they saw what was going on already and moved in to capitalize on the opportunity and expand, which they did expertly. But thats when quality began to decline.

WOW you are really on that sauce. Bro the first compassion club ever was in Cali, called "wham", look em up.
You need to get your history right, also I keep saying large amounts of bud yes, but none of it can compare to the top notch shit guys were and are growing in the states.
Have you ever been to NYC and smoked the "Piff" have you been to Wall st and smoked the real "ECSD"? you talk about our weed like it is the best and we invented all this shit, we did not get over it. I am not even going to reply no more because you are tripping. It is all documented in the HighTimes over the years. Canada did not become a major player till the late 80's early 90's. Have you not heard about the hippies and Humboldt county?
 
nothing will ever compare to the Skunk or Chemo or Hash plant of days gone by..

It's time for something new..and I'm sure with the Freaks trying to make money from it?? They'll have some whacked out stinking high thc cbd producer..... lol

until mother nature takes over and make it her own!!! ;)

Jesus...are you retarded cant you read?

Never said others werent doing hydro and werent growing top shelf shit....thus has never been my point...

Why do insist on arguing about shit that we agree on?

Put the pipe down bro and try to focus on what i have actually written...
 
@torontomeds you are wasting your "breath" so to say. You can't argue with this guy. He was a highschool kid buying small amounts on the black market in Edmonton way back when. He knows everything. You should see his tomfoolery in the hash section of the forum. The same mind that will argue that rosin and charas are the same thing. :clap:
 
No clue lol maybe? I'm saying he literally has very little clue what he's talking about.



I'd rather smoke skin in hash than I would mold, mildew, fungicides, pesticides, bugs bodies and bug poop on flowers though. LOL
 
which is surprising because you typically know-it-all.


Since I have to spell it out for you..... Indoor growers generally don't purposely make charas, unless you want to consider finger hash from trimming charas.
 
i only know alot of chemistry and pharmacology.

ok...so outdoor...
use gloves?

why does there have to be skin. this is what was being asked.
 
I don't know ask that to the poor farmers in India and Nepal.



now back to the topic at hand. False history lessons from GQ
 
oh ok, you dont make your own hash...you have an odd way of explaining things

i have ~40,000 acres in midland odessa region and 10k by dallas texas. so i grow alot of outdoor and like to reminesce smoking older tek hash, i dont know we can even get charas or anything similar over here. and my indoor setups arent exactly small. i like to try things
anyway, have a good Christmas! try and be jolly bro, you seem a little...idk
