I lived in Pueblo Co for years and saw tons upon tons of mostly pretty nasty weed. Then there was the exceptional ones. Unfortunately I had no say in what came next or how many good one there were but some were really nice. I've seen huge colas of one hit weed come out of a brick, rare but true. I've also seen some amazing flavors come out of them. The best of it was usually seedless and most of the time if there was a seed it was already smashed. We called it Mexican but I know it really just meant somewhere south. I wish I could have had a way to know what I was smoking. I'm guessing it was a mix of landrace and hybrids, and probably even some newer genetics. The funny part is these were all $300-500 lb..
When was the last time you smoked or heard of Acapulco Gold, Colombian Gold or Panama Red?
In my search for some of the illustrious Bubba Kush seeds, I happened upon some Colombian Gold seeds and it really made my mouth water for some of the exotics. Like some really "Knock your socks off" killer weed, can you dig it?
I have grown seeds from bags of really good weed, some LowRyder (remember that song by the group WAR?), White Widow, AK-47 and a medicinal strain that a friend from Toronto gave me some seeds of a few years ago (dont know what it is, but a few tokes and you're in La La Land for the night!...lol)
But I would really like to get a hold of some Acapulco Gold and Panama Red seeds too.
If anyone knows of any, hook a grower up!

Please let me know if you ever got any and grew it. How was the high? I don't care about the appearance, smell, taste and all that horseshit. I just want to know what's the most important...the quality of the high.
I can't smoke any of today's weed. This hybrid stuff is just not good. It makes me tired, lethargic, anti-social and dumb. It gets me stoned...but not high. There is a difference.
The weed in the 70's and 80's might not have looked that good. But the highs were incredible. Today's smokers that weren't around back then have absolutely no idea how much fun the highs were. We laughed uncontrollably (sometimes for hours straight), hallucinated, got EXTREME MUNCHIES and were happy and euphoric as ever.
Today's weed just turns you into a zombie.
Anyway. Would love to hear the outcome of this thread.
Thanks!
You are completely ignorant of reality because you were not either born or were too young !
While there certainly was some horrible schwag often floating around then, the Colombian Golds & Reds, Panama Reds, and many awesome Mexican strains were far, far better than the schwag and are the building blocks of all the best strains today. You do not realize, due to true ignorance, that there were endless different types of very powerful hashish & hash oil to compare with, along with incredible thai sticks , vietnam " monkey paw" - also incredible Hawaii bud in pineapple cans.
The current strains by Ace and some others - Panama , Tikal , Destroyer and some Colombian crosses are the same type of buzz as then , even better because of the careful curing. Not to mention all the Hazes.
Try a few of these , then comment. They take a long time, you may not be up to the task.
So many of the pleasant memories are, indeed, fact.
Yes, I am familiar with their "worked" lines.
I would even be willing to say it is as good as some of the medicinal today. Not the best by a long shot though.
Back in the 70's it was certainly head and shoulders better than anything else and stuck out. Now it is middle of the pack.
I started toking in 1967. Michoacan was $150 lb and four of us smoked half a skinny joint, got so toasted we couldn't find the other half a joint sitting right in the ashtray. Another friend new an African exchange student that brought back some Nigerian weed....two hits couldn't get past a third hit. Golds and Reds caused major time distortion and gave you trouble walking, couldn't go back to class. By 1972, Vietnam vets were smuggling leafy sativa back in empty polaroid containers. It looked like shit,

Santa Marta Golds and Reds caused major time distortion and gave you trouble walking, couldn't go back to class. By 1972, Vietnam vets were smuggling lightgreen/yellow leafy sativa back in empty polaroid containers. It looked like shit but caused visual and audio distortions. Got so high we couldn’t leave the dorm to go to a concert.
These strains were powerful maybe even frightening which is why they were classified as an Hallucinogens. I agree with others this stuff made you high, soaring, psychedelic FOR REAL. Newer strains may get quite strong (haven’t tried Haze or LSD yet) but the old stuff was almost beyond description….it was an EXPERIENCE. Let me not forget opiated Primo hash, opiated Thai stick (skinny ones) and nepalese templeballs. Where’s my time machine?

I have to agree with the old timers there with the strength and quality of high found in old school strains.
Only started smokin in yhe 90s. Course there was the reg commersh stuff I could get from friends.
Then there was this stuff I would get from my buddys dad. Back in the day we called it cess. Really means bricked mexican/jamaican weed. Difference was his cess was the bomb. There was other shit cess my friends could also get, came in @$$$#@× imported(. Im not stupid. ) anyway the high the good cess could throw destroyed anything my friend could score. That was very prized weed, looked like ass, tasted good, got you high, literally. Not stoned.
And in defence of todays strains, they r getting better, kali mist c99? Try these if you miss the old school.

Well here's my take/ I'm 60 years old, so I went through the whole hippie culture, sexual revolution rockin the Beatles and the awesome 70s when rock was at an all time high with The Stones and Some Girls and so much more. The era of the BEST concerts and yes, the best WEED! You youngsters can spout off all you want about how great today's weed is but you're ALL WRONG! Only one person almost hit the nail on the head when they said "It's not all just about the THC levels. There are other unknown compounds...........etc., etc., etc." Well that's very true but the biggest reason is simple yet complex as we can NEVER really produce what nature can. It's about the soil it's grown in. It's about the local climate it spent thousands of years evolving to! It's the rain where it's grown. 90% if not greater, of the weed in the US today is grown right here in America. It will never be like the true Panama Red (MY fave) or Acapulco Gold we grew up with!
Hi everyone,im new to this site but read about the columbian gold and the last time i smoked or seen true columbian gold was in the mid 70s it was the best i ever smoked and the buds didnt have any green the buds was compact and solid gold in color the buds didnt look nothing like the pics iv seen online of the gold seeds out there today and same with the panama red the buds was reddish no green.the old gold and panama red was the best i ever smoked and i smoked alot of the so called potent green thats around today but none compared to the old gold and red bud.I seen another post about the gold and red of the 70s and the guy is absolutely correct it was best he ever smoked he says and i claim the same,a person wouldve had to be there in the 70s to actually know.If anyone has or can get the TRUE columbian gold strain of the 70s please notify me.

Check out SnowHigh. He's the old school land race breeder / specialist. There's plenty of Colombian Gold to choose from, but prepare for super long flowering (e.g. 14 to 20 weeks), but other crosses with Colombian Gold with shorter flowering can be found. Email him and buy direct for way more freebies. Don't be put off by the initial price of the seed packs. He will give you several freebies of his other packs.
