There were a lot of Canadians who made it rich from those prices back in the day. Especially when our dollar was worth in the low 50s compared to the us dollar. 5k a pound suddenly became closer to 10 after it was exchanged. Most of the industry here was solely for south of the border.I have a feeling they are related as well.
Many similarities, I would assume it was a highly selected Northern Lights cross.
Some of the best weed came out of Washington and Oregon back in the day, as well as Humboldt.
Seattle was a super hot spot. My one friend, who was in a Seattle gang, used to get such amazing chronic, his friends would ship it to Hawai'i in the early 90's. Insane stuff!! Would sell it in gram bags for $35.
We would regularly pay $150-200 for a quarter back then. And the price didn't matter at all!!!! Would still pay that price to ride that train again!
You truly can't put a price on that kind of quality. The high was such an enlightening and bonding experience. Some great friendships were established when you smoked that kind of herb together.
That just doesn't happen today!
NL in my mind seems to be one of those that was so good and used so much for make something "bigger and better" that it was ignored as a stand alone.
You would be hard pressed to find many popular strains today that NL #2 or #5 are not somewhere in their family tree. I recall one being super potent and one yielded. Cant remember which was what lol
I often here people say I only think the weed from back then was better because I am being nostalgic but I am not so sure. We had killer weed in the 90s and while THC potency may of very well gone up I often wonder what has been lost in order to achieve that. There is a lot more to cannabis then THC.
Oh and my 11 Pig Whistle and 11 Night Rider are above ground.(for Greenpoint relevance)
