Here's a little bit of pot I brought back from Colorado.
I forget the strain name

I've heard from other older pot smokers that the mexican weed back in the day was killer & that is was all sativa as well. Generally speaking, how does the weed on today's market compare to the weed back then? I'd like to hear back from you. Take care. Have a great weekend.
Thanks Bigfeely. It's nice to hear from the younger generation that they're still interested in the "old days" of imported weed. Plus the prices were SO much more reasonable than what people charge nowadays. I have pals in the NY/NJ area & they told me that ozs can go for as much as $500! $500 for an ounce of weed? I used to buy lbs of A-Gold in 1970/71 for $165. The Michoacan, which was still righteous on its own behalf, would be $135/lb. "Lids" (which could be either a 3-finger or 4-finger baggie...the baggies with those flaps) were $10 or $15 apiece. Now the Acapulco Gold or Panama Red (Red was extremely rare) would have to be $20/lid, as the lbs were $30-$40 more than usual.
Back then, we preferred the sativas, as that was more energetic than the indicas. Indicas tended to make us so laidback that if something shitty was on TV (all 5 channels...lol), we'd watch whatever was on because it would require standing up & changing the channel. Too much exertion! Yeah, TV was free, but the selection was horrible. The 3 networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) & maybe 1 or 2 independent stations. We didn't care, as it would make us go out & make our own fun. I think that's what is lacking nowadays. With computers, smartphones, 250 TV channels to choose from, people aren't making their own fun anymore. If we wanted to see the Grand Canyon, we'd hitch-hike there to see it instead of Googling the damn thing.
You sound like you'd be more inclined to make your own adventures, as we used to do. I remember going to concerts in Chicago (we lived in the suburbs) & dropping some Microdot on the train to the city. By the time we arrived, we'd be tripping ballz! Catch a bus to the Auditorium or Amphitheater & see bands like Jethro Tull, The Who (highest energy show I've seen), Mountain (Mississippi Queen), Jefferson Airplane, bands like those. Great times & excellent memories.
Glad you are interested, Bigfeely.

I can't believe people are actually debating this...
If you buy your weed from anyone except a dispensary, odds are you're not getting what they say it is. This is painfully obvious. My guy told me once that he had lemon haze. So i grabbed a gram. The next week I asked him what he had and he said trainwreck. It was the exact same weed.
Its all marketing like others have already mentioned. Shit even dispensaries do it.
This is not hard to understand. You might be mad and unwilling to accept that you have not been getting "dat Kush" all this time, but you need to.
I don't even ask my guy what the name is anymore. Every time he kinda stutters then spits a name out. The majority of people here in this area refer to weed as "Kush" anyway. I don't waste my time

Hey what's up squidhead! I like your name man. Damn... those prices for pounds are so ridiculously cheap. Boy, have times changed. Nowadays in a lot of places, just an ounce of mediocre bud costs about $165 give or take. & Yes $500 for top shelf medical grade bud an ounce is not unheard of in some places. High quality or not though, it seems like highway robbery to me. I mean really, $500 for a sandwich sized baggy of something that was grown in the dirt... That's pure greed right there!
Damn, that is cool. Going to see the Grand Canyon just because. It'd be like a real life quest. I wish I had other people to go on my adventures with. I don't go that far but I like to go hiking/walking in woods & vast fields. I always have this mentality whenever I go on an adventure, "This is going to be the best time ever." I don't always go into woods or nature though. Sometimes I just like to walk or skateboard around town visiting the places that have some cool buildings, go by the waterside, walk near the railroad tracks, & end the night with getting something to eat by myself. Rarely are any drugs involved, I like to travel light anyway.
I do make my own adventures but I am a lone gypsy kind of person. Anything I do I do by myself. I have never found anyone that likes to do the same kind of stuff that I do besides smoke pot but I never like to base a friendship or a relationship in general on doing drugs together. Those kind of relationships I do not like because usually the motive to hanging out is scoring drugs or something that involves a greed. Usually when I'd ask someone if they wanted to go out to eat or go into town their response would be something like, "we have food here." OR "what's there to do in town, just walk around?" Boring people I guess. I don't know. I never really got to know those people when I did spend time with them even though some of them I knew for a few years.
I'll see you around squidhead. It looks like you've been a member on the shroomery for quite some time now yet I think I have only seen you one other time & that was on a thread from a while back. I hope you stick around for a while man. Take care.
