from what I have read it seems the cia was heavily involved in a lot of those "sub culture" magazines like High Times, Surfer Magazine, Guns and Ammo etc.
Any " one hit weed " back in the 1970's ?

I also meant to mention, it seems like a reoccurring theme with a lot of the vets in this thread. “I wish I would have saved all those old seeds” lol.
high times always felt like a tool to me. Can recall reading similar Water. A fondness of disytopian content... and anything ufo related.
Canna in SE asia blew away what I got here until columbian started showing up in the early 70s.
Used to see care packages from hawaii that were real special at christmas.

Just this guy, ya know?
Did it look like anything from the cob curing thread? People are supposed to be getting some really heady results with it.

Mexican press brick mersh - with the seeds - has a lot of promise.
If you can collect mersh from 3 different sources, often one of them will be REAL Good Sativa. Skunky, resiny, vigorous, ready for someone to find the 1 in a 1000 Total Awesome genetics in the batch.
I wouldn't smoke mersh, but I would buy it for the Mexican Sativa seeds. Could come from any Central or South American country, it's kind of a crap-shoot.
World of Seeds has good native Sativa's, probably. Just from window-shopping.

Right. Seeds don't cut potency, they subtract from the amount of smokable material.
I notice that when I'm making seed that the calyxes and bud leaves sugar up nicely. I've not noticed any dif in potency for a hit

The read I had was that the DEA came up with the idea for the Cannabis Cup and "suggested" it to some main stream players in Amsterdam that bought into it. Many now deny it or play it as never happening, but a central gathering of growers of top grade weed? Plays well into the DEA/CIA designs.

No, but those are interesting buds. The best batch that I got were about a quarter inch in diameter and perfectly round. They looked like they were manicured. I sent some to my brother (my real brother) on Maui and NOBODY believed they were from the mainland. No one. They were the size of a fat pen and about 3 inches long. The tops were open and loose, like a typical sativa, and the sparkly sugar leaves were spiraled along the outer edges. They were bright lime green in color. It was simply amazing stuff. One hit and you were gone. There was only one batch of that stuff. There were a dozen or so bags of similar grade stuff that I bought that were lightly seeded, and otherwise fluffy sinsemilia tops through my local dealer for $50-60 an oz. It was all from highland central Mexico after the Paraquat spraying forced growers to stop growing in large fields in Michoacan, Oaxaca, and Guerrero. I have a few seeds left from them, but only a few. The seeds that I have grown from those bags are early blooming fluffy green top weed. Great sativa high, no couch or narco weed.
Tangwena here has extensive posting on the cob process. I'm curing several cobs now.
I can say that the Panama Haze early sample from a fermented cob is fantastic. In both high and taste, it reminds me of a good 70's Columbian
I'm +- 60. Regular smoker from 1976 on. For me there is no doubt, thai stick remains the superior cannabis of my life.
Thanks in large part to the good folks here, I've had the chance to raise some Thai and Thai dominant plants. Its funny, the real deal thai flowers form such long thin racemes that their so called "bag appeal" was low. Its only when you see those long racemes that you understand the reason for thai sticks.

By far the best hashish I ever had was from a roommate that moved to Maui and came back to the mainland with an eight ounce of Kona Gold hash. Yeah, hash. Never had it before or since, but that was one great high. Velvety and smooth, and oh what a flavor and a feeling. Were I to have the recipe now for making that stuff and the seeds for whatever they grew to make it with. Kona Gold? Said to be originally a type of Colombian gold. I have smoked many other hashish souls out there, Lebanese red/blonde, Afghani, Nepalese fingers/temple balls, Moroccan, Mexican, Israeli, but they all pale. Lebanese red comes close. But no cigar. Circa 1977? Hard to recall exactly when, as we were absolutely stoned out of our gourdes then. I think I had my 1977 Suzuki GS 750 then, so '77 would be close.
The 2 stroke? They were terrors

No. The 2-stroke was the water cooled GT 750. The GS 750 was the 4 stroke air cooled 4 banger that came out in '77. I bought the first one at my local dealer. It was a rubber band on 2 wheels. They are still making similar GS bikes today with a lot more features and re-designs. I has a GT 380 2-stroke before the GS 750 though. Zippy insane 2-stroke.

mexico produced kilos with amazing german like efficiency and consistency. It was not real hard to smoke well if one had regular access to it.
In the back of high times sam would tell you how make real nice hash out of it, or one could get an iso machine which would have the same end result.
God bless the apo and us postal service. They sure did deliver well.

I think for young teenagers who are trying pot for the first time, as long as it's not completely degraded, they can get a decent response to the first hit, if they wait 5 minutes.
But who waits 5 minutes ?
The way we smoked it, the only way we knew we had one hit-shit was when we fainted after 4 hits.
I remember listening to Tangerine Dream (Beatles) and smoking in my bedroom.

They bloom late and take a forever to finish. I got a crop in of 'the original' 'lombo gold when I was in California. That was during one of the droughts, around '76 I think it was. Little rain that winter, but I did not know any better and I pulled it early before X-mas for some holiday smoke. It still kicked ass. I could never grow that here. It would rot by late October. Most years it would rot by then outside in California as well.
