It's like a pin joint w/ 10-12 seeds but the only game in town, so you pay $8-10 for a joint, bitching about the price but the next night you'll be looking all over the place for that Dude. It was worth it then.

It has been over 40 years since I last had Columbian gold. At that time I had three choices as I remember Mexican brick Panama red or gold. The gold was by far the best tasting. I can not describe it. The red bud was good to. I had to dish out 40 a ounce compared to 10 for the Mexican brick weed.

Ya most of the good gold i smoked mid 70s taste very hashy sweet but at least 50% seed.I broke up lots of bales, boat loads were landed here in maine back then the fuckers packing it would toss in pounds of seeds in the middle of the bales, But that beat what the mexicans were doing boots, rocks, hunks of clay huge stems LOL

ahhhhh memories. 8 joint nickel bags of gold and red. I remember 5 of us would chip in and roll the whole bag up. Smoke 3 joints and keep 1 each. Joints exploding from the big fat seeds in them. "DUDE suck the smoke from the seed!! You'll get wasted!!"

Then off to period one of freshman social studies and the hot latina girls in class. I miss those days :eyesmoke:

When I was a boy they sure sold me some bullshit. They took one look at me and they saw a big lollipop. Like my 3rd buy was supposed to be columbian this was the only columbian I ever had that I know of. Very brown. Kinda interesting taste like tobacco or deep spice I guess. Maybe that's what it was haha. Very shitty quality and a shitty buzz too if I remember.

Columbian always had that distinctive taste, kind of acrid, no way could you confuse it with Mexican. Columbian gold had that taste but even more intense kind of like concentrated Columbian. And bag appeal- this shit was like nothing you have ever seen. Skunk has a taste that is reminiscent but not really.

You need to change your name. Grandpapy?? More like pound puppy. Joints of ’reg’ were $0.50 and lumbo gold was $0.75 up to $1.00 in high school. By 1979 NOBODY played with brick, in this part of California anyway..skunk was the smell in the air in September and October.
Fermented brick weed is really good as long as you start with high grade ripe bud. The high last longer-sativas become more trippy and indica becomes more stony. I ferment a bit out of each crop.

Then you didn't have Gold we had in 76.
by 79 the Virgina town was waist deep in Sensamillia, Hash, Opium Balls and $110 Bricks (but no Gold)

I haven't smoked a pin joint that would Immobilize 4 stoners for 4 hours since.

That was all before....Mexican Government started spraying a lung‐seeking poison on illegal marijuana fields in 1977 - the lethal herbicide — paraquat

Don't blame Mexico.

By 1969, marijuana eradication had also become a priority of the Nixon White House, and Government scientists began the search for a herbicide that would dramatically reduce the Mexican supply — or incapacitate American smokers (a spray to make smokers nauseous was synthesized in 1969, but not used). The recommendations of the 1969 Task Force on Narcotics Traffic seemed more fruitful: an expanded poppy and marijuana eradication program, the development of electronic sensory technology to detect the illicit fields, and the aerial spraying of those fields with herbicides. In 1970, the United States gave Mexico five helicopters and three airplanes to initiate a https://www.nytimes.com/1978/11/19/archives/poisonous-fallout-from-the-war-on-marijuana-paraquat.html
