A good hobby keeps a body young. Or something like that.28 years over
That's gotta be a rush.....so jealous....congrats!Ohh, and whoever imported that nasty detergent weed around 1985....
Let's see, first time I ever bought weed, it was $15 an 1/8th, around 1984-85.
Yeh man, I haven't bought weed since 2005.
So now the debate begins; was the weed better then or now?54 in Va. I grew a bit back in the 80s, mostly gorilla grows. Then I joined the military and quit growing and smoking for 25 or so years. I figure now i’m retired and it’s legal why not start back up. I agree with many on here the weed is nothing like it used to be. We’d get a lot of Mexican red hair, and if we were lucky we’d score some skunk or humbolt indica.
Lets put it this way in my mind , it was better back thenSo now the debate begins; was the weed better then or now?
My personal and highly subjective opinion is that the very best from back then can hold its head up with the best of today.
Ummm, that wasn't detergent. It was fabric softener...That's gotta be a rush.....so jealous....congrats!
I agree with the different high part; everybody and their dog is "breeding" and it's leading to a great muddying of the genetic waters. Back then, farmers in Central America and elsewhere had the time to let sativa dominant strains ripen fully, leading to a kind of crazy racy spacy high that no commercial facility can match with 6-8 week flowering schedules.Lets put it this way in my mind , it was better back then
I would love some columbian redbud or columbian gold the bright yellow stuff with huge tiger striped seeds
In reality it was a different high and probably not really as good
No debate.So now the debate begins; was the weed better then or now?

Or lungs. COPD is real.I used to smoke a whole joint.. Now a couple hits does the job..
Is the weed stronger or my mind weaker??
I think we both just made the same argument lolNo debate.
Then.
For one simple reason - genetic diversity
Todays strains are bred into a corner.
I don't see anything like the variety I used to see.
I'm starting over. Got me a big ol collection of landraces and I'm rebreeding all my own favorites.
Probably be done when I'm about 432 years old.
I used to get 1/4 oz bags for 40$.Or lungs. COPD is real.
Seriously, quality was highly variable back in the day. Few had access to the best. Now anyone can walk into a dispensary and get top shelf- of they're willing to pay.
I mean, who the FUCK is paying $20 a gram?!
I Completely agree, my cousin a I grew a plant once when we're about 20 that we named itchy bitch because when you smoked it you became so high that it made you itch and the euphoria lasted easily 4-5 hours. Don't know where one seed came from or what it was but I would love find it again. We did nothing special back then we planted in remote ares in the mountains and just went out nute bomb it about every two weeks and harvested about 1.2 pounds from it. Truly nature grow.So now the debate begins; was the weed better then or now?

Back when bag seed was a lottery ticket.I Completely agree, my cousin a I grew a plant once when we're about 20 that we named itchy bitch because when you smoked it you became so high that it made you itch and the euphoria lasted easily 4-5 hours.
