Dating myself a little here but I sure miss some of the old school strains. In the late 70's through the mid 80's, Mexican weed was always available but shake and super seedy most of the year. Around Christmas, the good shit came across. Lightly seeded or no seeds and smelled like juicy fruit gum. Must have been before bricked weed because it was always just bagged. No fancy name, we just called is Redhair Mexican. Really potent and cheap along the order. Definitely seasonal availability. It was the most contemplative stuff ever. I think the original Mexican stuff has mostly been hybridized and changed now. 

The other has got to be roadkill skunk from the 80's used to get that form a guy that grew it north of Dallas and it would absolutely make you nonfunctional. And prey you didn't get stopped by the cops. There was no hiding it.  

I could easily be happy with those two varieties. I wish I could still get it or grow it.

Check out landrace genetics or world of seeds. If you wish to discover what parents smoked. Then that is the place ✌️. 

I am currently growing wild Thai from world of seeds. Exactly what my mums admits to smoking in the 70's 👍

I'm a sucker for the old school, those classic flavours and an earthy skunk have always been a staple in my cupboard. Widow or rhino always seem to make me nostalgic, but an early 90s Thai never went astray either... ahh the good ole days 🤣

I feel like a, like a slice of butter... melting on top of a big-ol' pile of flapjacks... yeah.

When I came of age in the 70's, there were three things (this was in US/Georgia):

Mexican brick weed - chunks of seedy/stemmy buds. Smelled musty and moldy. $30/oz.

"Columbian" - kind of like the brick but with a sweeter, less musty smell and a much better buzz. $35-40/oz.

"Skunk" - this was the outdoor local weed, properly grown, dried, cured. Available (if you were lucky) around December. $200/oz.

I just ordered some Acapulco Gold autos to run in the spring!

@bubblehok Lol, my wife hates it when we drive past a dead skunk in the road. I wiff it up and get all nostalgic. She just shakes her head.

Hi 

It's interesting what you guys are saying from the USA and I love try all that Mexican Colombian weed

My first experience was resins , black from Pakistan or Lebanese or Moroccan 

The weed we got used to come from Jamaica at the time it was great because I knew no better , it was brick weed, moldy and seeded twice once by itself and once with added bird seed ,Trill.

The first skunk a friend brought back from Amsterdam and it was a total game changer 

As for soap bar, fucking rancid plastic diesel smelling shit . I try best to forget
