The Mexican cartels see about 50% of their earnings from marijuana, actually.And nowhere does Cocaine fall anywhere into this mix??
They make and sell/smuggle methamphetamines of course and brown tar heroin has made a major resurgence of late.
The Mexicans don't produce coke; they just help smuggle it across the border into the USA. The leaf is grown in South America.

the good "shwagg" come threw christmas time. being fresh from the growing season. iv grew some mexican sativa before. real spacey high.
I understand a GREAT deal about marijuana, but I still don't understand your posts. While I agree its a LABYrinth of endless results, your comments about unstable hybrids are misguided. Much thanks to the many horticulturists who've grown the best sativas and best indicas, and interbred them to produce stable, high yielding, mold / bug / frost resistant, genetics that allow us to debate which is better. Also, good marijuana is grown both OUTDOORS and INDOORS and GREENHOUSES. Small mindedness is a pet peeve. I love all strains and all types, they're all gods gift. And before you say "people messed with the genetics", plant your sativas outside within 10-20 miles of someones indica plot, and if they have males your next generation of seeds will have both parents in their DNA.
Amen, she sure does. Shes been a godsent for many years for people in mountainous, northern climates. And all praises due to Hollands Hope as well. The original hybrid genetics made for our kind in the northlands!
You humble opinion is incorrect. They send up grow teams all the time to grow in the rugged untouched wilderness of the Sierra Nevadas, etc etc etc.....and they cause sheer havoc to the environment when they do as well. Support your local organic farmers!

Yup my thought exactually man!!! and dried cowpatty hits the nail on the head!, cowpatty with big fat, BLACK,mostly FLAT seeds lol.mmm mmm good lmao not really. I always hated the flat seeds back in the day cause no matter how well you picked them out there would be smashed shells and shit hidden in here and there so you always tasted somethin. God its making my stomach turn just thinking about those nasty madsize bong rips lol.
Damn Im glad im on that medicinal now!!!I dont misss the brick at all!
instant flashback bro, im just glad i have my own crop now and a constant supply of medical grade from a buddy if I run out

Very interesting read. I started smoking weed in 1978. These Mexican and Columbian strains were all the rage. I remember the four finger $40 oz's! The weed of them days was much better than the mexi brick of today. Trimming and manicuring were irrelevant in those days. Thats one reason I think us old heads dont trip on it to much now. It can look like shit as long as it packs a nice punch! Mexi brick as of late is one of the main reasons I decided to grow my own in 2004. I lived in west Texas and had access to a lot of the stuff. But I just did not like where the weed market had went. I wanted quality control. Living in a non medical state, the only way to achieve this is 1. Grow your own, 2. Know someone who grows.
My closet gardens have produced plenty high grade weed for my needs. I am the envy of my close circle of friends. Also , they know nothing of the garden. They are always amazed that I sit on 3-4 oz's but will not sell to them. I will let my friends test my grows for different opinions. I have no intention of ever purchasing weed from dealers. I think most of us personal growers probally feel the same way. Who knows, one of these days I may go on a limb and try one of these landrace Sativas. Im investigating a plot that I can do outdoor gurella grows in. Other than that, I will continue to grow indoor bushes 3-4 feet tall, andpack those mason jars full of stiinky,trichome laden goodness!

Started smoking mexweed in 1973, and it was way better than any brickweed I've seen for the last several years. Never bought any since I've been growing since 79. Anyway back then it was generally good, sometimes great, $25-40/lid or ounce. Lesser quality bags were loaded with stem and seed, but still ok if you cleaned it up.
The brickweed I've seen recently is real shit, compressed hard as a brick (no pun intended), compressed so hard all the seeds are smashed flat and broken up to where they are impossible to remove. Mex smokers today are missing a major part of the mexweed smoking experience: having a big old seed explode and blow the coal off a joint, or pop out a bowl sending fire or a glowing seed down the front of someones (probably polyester) shirt. It was easy to identify stoners back in the day, we all had little holes burned through the front of our shirts we displayed like badges of honor, and there were clusters holes in car seats where burning seeds fell out and rolled between your legs.
A guy gave me a chunk (not a nug, a rock hard fragment) for me to grind and I could barely get it ground. I read somewhere they compact it with trash compactors and custom hydraulic compactors. Not sure how they could keep it from molding other than drying it to superdry before compressing.

I've seen this same concrete as recently as February, surprised it didn't break your grinder.

I survived off mexican buds as a boy but learnt to grow my own in the end . I will admit that Mexican weed had highs and lows no pun intended . I grew out Mexican seeds throughout the 90s and still hold some of there finest genetics such as Oaxacan as an example .
The funny part of it all is that a huge percentage of new world genetics stem from Mexican origin . Yes many of the best genes floating around Holland , Spain and America began with Mexican gear grown and selectively bred with Indicas and other land races . One day the genealogical maps of cannabis DNA will reveal this all .
Never would I downgrade Mexican genetics , the product yes any day of the week but the real good Mexican was always found in the southern ranges of the country closer to the equator . I believe mexico still holds genetics beyond what most know even after the Cartels and there messes made .

Mexican Cartel always adds water before shipping and sometimes rocks and other foreign objects for weight . I remember seeing this in bricks time after time
I also recall bricks back in the 90's that required a damn saw to cut and distribute . One could chisel pieces off and carry an ounce in each shoe with comfort and room for more lmao ..

I too grew up in high school in the 70's. I lived in San Diego, so we smoked a ton of mexican weed. I do remember smoking some of my first "sensimilla" back then. It was green, full of red hairs and wasn't smashed into bricks. One of my fondest memories of a pot strain, was Aculpolco Gold. It was trippy, laugh your ass off sativa! I have been looking for some time now for a good Gold strain. Thought abought Malawi Gold but I would love to here about anyone growing a good mexican landrace, or closest thing.

The Acapulco never made it this far from the border, but the Panama red did...at least until the Reagan's threw a wrench into southern imports.
My next project happens to be Malawi, been sitting on the beans for over a year. Problem is, I cannot replicate the higher elevations and Indian Ocean environment of western Africa.
So I have little hope of replicating the real thing.

Awesome job. Did they strech alot? I assume so being sativa dominant. I wonder how LST would do on yields. I have some old mexi bag weed seeds somewhere....
