Well to be fair, we would be way better off from a breeding standpoint if more older landraces were well preserved. Not saying landrace A or B is better than X grown today but we would be able to make a lot more variety of Xs if those strains had been better preserved. Lately a lot of breeders have been doing preservation efforts.Trying to turn this back to the topic on hand. The weirdest thing I ever heard (not really funny) is that the strains from the 70s was the best buds that ever hit the earth. I disagree as we have all fine tuned it for the last 50 years and since the rise of the interwebs I honestly believe our strains to be even more potent. But I guess they don't believe that acapulco gold can't be topped. Funny how I can't find the seeds for that strain.
I think you hit the nail on the head about nostalgia. I can't really argue with you about the redbud. But every time I hear someone talking about the good ol days and how it will never be the same. I think of Al Bundy talking about his football career and blames Peggy because he never went pro. Wow my reference is old, talk about nostalgia.

However, nostalgia is an hell of a thing. I look back and think holy shit that "redbud" sinsemilla those old farmers in the country grew while I was growing up was the shit. Maybe it was, maybe not. Its like a restaurant you remember as a child and you go back and think why did i love this so much?
Metachlorens. Duh.He was right. Where else would you get the kush flavor from?
