If I did the math right you're best weed was also when you were late teens/early 20s? Absolutely there is more to good weed than thc content, but I'm guessing we could find the common denominator of peoples "best" weed experiences as falling in that same developmental stage. I've said it before but shit's often "better" when it's new/forbidden.. Life gets in the way and the magic kinda fades away a little.. otherwise if we are to just go by anecdotal evidence, weed has gotten progressively worse over time??

Lots of shit Mexican unless I could get "exotic weed" on occasion.
Exotics in the early 70's in the NE of the usa back then? Thai stick, sinsemilla, chocolate thai, maui wowie
I lucked out on connections, lol. A buddy was a Coptic Church bigshot, dude had 12 racks of exotics in kilo's......all labelled and graded. these racks were 4 levels each.
The Coptic Church used to legally import weed down in Florida, part of their wacky religion. Govt shut that shit down a few yrs later.

Sannie's Seeds is the only overseas vendor I will do business with now, so I can't speak for the others since I haven't used them in years. I just checked Sannie's site and the only thing in stock is Northern Cheese Haze (Exodus cheese X NL5/Haze / Fantasmo express) and is a fem. My personal favorite is Cheestral (Exodus Cheese cut X Pakistani Chitral Kush) by Underground Seed Collective if you can find that one it's like a berry cheesecake, my son said it's like smoking a swizzle stick. It's not in stock at Sannie's now but Cristalin said he would have them back in stock soon. The stone is to the bone on it too. Warning do not try to grow in locations where you have to worry about smell without extra filtration, it's that dank!

For me that pre 1985 period was age 13 to 18. Yes pre 85 smuggled tropical Redbud was a nice buzz and real real tasty. Sure their was stronger THC weed by the late 90s. Mostly indoor grown, and to me it tasted like some of the dispensary weed today. "forced" sure frequently THC is very high but that is only one compenent of a good buzz.
Sorry, I like outdoor grown weed.

Now on to that youthful experience thing.. Sure it's a factor.. I hear what you are saying..... I did join that bummer life reality by 1990..... However...
....The grand party did come to an abrupt end around 1985.!
Here's why:
*Regan's war on drugs basically shut down weed from tropical climates.
*Drinking ages we're lowest in 1975, by 85 they raised.
*In 85 random sex got scarry with the Advent of aids.
Yup, the big party ended, no more going to the bar at 14, cigarettes we're now bad for you, drinking and driving was now bad, sex could kill you, and way less good tropical pot.
As reference to folks that missed the party... The movie, "Dazed and Confused" is actually pretty accurate to my experience a few years later in rural Wisconsin. (Maybe a little Fast Times at Ridgemont High mixed in..) LOL
Real coincidence Cheech and Chong were active 71 to 85 then disappeared untill 2000s.
The dark ages of 1985 to 2005 are now over. Pot can literally and figuratively "come out of the closet"

It is what it is... Feeling good that 30 years of BS Marjuana oppression is coming to an end...
A positive note, to clear bad mojo.. A giant USA, Canada, Mexico legal smoke out party in our lifetimes.. hehehe
Hmmm some top notch outdoor grown tropical weed again. Sounds good.
35 years is a long time, but they are talking about 50+ years ago.
Thai is a good example.. When Thai hit the scene it was considered top shelf... Well, we still have Thai around today, but how many people do you know asking for it, or growing it? Very few.... While Thai is good, it is not as good as the stuff we have available today. There are people out there growing Panama Red and Acapulco Gold and Maui Wowie, etc. but there is no demand for it, because it isn't as good as stuff today.

The original Mom Gooey was made 35 years ago, the parts (lots of Thai in this baby) were much older and this is just one example. The main reason there's no demand for those cultivars in the commercial market is because of super long bloom times, hard to make money off 18 week + bloom times and hard to impossible for most people to grow successfully because of that. Funny thing is, it's what the best breeders used to put together what your smoking today and they still are, there's no new magical weed that popped into existence, it's the same as it always was, just how it's put together through the selections. Most of the real PR, AG and MW at the seed banks are not legit, the real deal is in the breeders hands. I have yet to find a legit Acapulco Gold out there, I'm afraid this one is lost. I've been growing / smoking since 1970 and have closely followed the evolution of weed (always tried to have the latest and greatest). I grow the modern cultivars too, Skywalker OG, Dynasty's Pineapple fields and FPOG are some of my favorites, so we can argue this point all day every day and get no where, we just agree to disagree.
Best,

Yep agree to disagree. If it were as good as some people want to make it out to be, it would be worth the extra time. I grow pure sativas all the time. I go through extended cure times with them (up to 6 months) and at best they are good. Nowhere good enough to go through all the extra time, but I continue to do so to hopefully find something that is worth it.
You had people who were smoking "sugar" leaves and some of the leafiest, stringiest bud you could possibly imagine all of a sudden getting a bag of thai stick or "sinse" and it was so much better than smoking leaves it was like OMG THIS SHIT IS THE BEST WEED EVAH!!!! but, actually, no it was not the best weed ever, it was good weed during a time when 90% was stemmy, seedy, leafy, shit.
why is that?
Take your pick lack of more intensive selective pressure for denser flowers by man or grown without meeting the lighting requirements of the plant if a indoor grow or any number of reasons in my opinion though the biggest one tho is genetics some plants grow swaggy some dont if you think about it its an adaptation to the environment that plant has made for a reason swaggy looking shit is usually in my experience more mould resistant in high humidity conditions vs rock solid dense buds
