Homage goes out to red rider who's recent thread inspired the title to this post.
I have enjoyed the wealth of knowledge about colombian weed he has posted, and eagerly read his and thai bliss' sativa threads, as well as the majority of the land race threads regarding sativas.
I too am a "trip weed" enthusiast. I used to smoke sexy mexy and pretendica growing up in N. California. I used to sell pounds of the shit.
I was in 8th grade in '93, in a super weed friendly county in one of the last years before california went medical, in 95. I saw the best of both worlds. I am not an old 70s head I am a 90's kid that remembers the weed the old timers talk about in the other threads, about legendary highs from crappy looking buds.
I grew up smoking brick weed (and greenbuds!) starting in 7th grade and all the way until I graduated HS, in 1999 when prop 215 had taken hold and brick weed became obsolete, and hip hop fell off.
I vividly remember smoking mex that made me straight up hallucinate and hear shit. I used to get wicked weed visuals that would cut through and superimpose themselves onto my vision even if i was shrooming or on acid or e, or ketamine. And it isn't just me. A lot of my old friends that indulged remember these highs fondly as well, and miss the long lasting mind fuckingly disorienting panic and terror inducing experiences and then laughing until tears.
I remember my time and space being super distorted, and giggling fits to tears, and also panic inducing paranoia from some strains. True rollercoaster weed.
This one time I was walking and everytime I took a step my mind would flash with supermario cartoon glitchy framerate vision and it felt like my foot hit the ground three times every time i took a step. I remember me and my friends talking about weed visuals versus acid visuals or shroom visuals etc. Trip weed was a legit thing that I remember but haven't seen in ages.
Another time my homie's uncle (who was our age also) came to visit from alaska and he brought this alaskan weed and we smoked it behind the folsom movie theaters up on the hill behind the movie theaters.
We got so high, one of my friends fell coming down the hill, while the security guard was questioning us for why we were on the hill behind the movie theater. We lied and said we were smoking cigs and showed him a pack of cigs and our tickets and went in to see independence day (the first one).
What happened next was terrifying I was ok, at first but slowly this weed came on like a freight train, I was sitting in the movie watching it and having a paranoia induced psychotic break damn near.
I was having massive hallucinations and thought confusion mindfuck, and I couldn't speak nor understand when my friends spoke to me. It seriously sounded like they were talking like the adults in charlie brown with the trumpet bwawawwawwwa coming from out of view. This was really disconcerting.
I couldn't follow the movie and eventually lost myself mesmerized by the special effects which were top notch at the time, and stopped panicking. We came out of the movie and went to the burger king that was in the same parking lot.
I remember I was in there with my buddies for hours acting retarded and laughing our asses off and causing a scene. we were the annoying stoned highschool kids in the burger king that day.
I also remember the first hybrids and the most popular Nor cal strains when they first came out like trainwreck, bubble gum, genius, grand daddy purp, bubba kush etc.
I had brick weed highs that made it difficult to walk. once i smoked an eighth after sneaking out my bedroom window with a buddy freshman year during a sleepover, and it took us twenty minutes to climb back in my window, nerve wrackingly because we were desperately trying not to laugh and we were in cartoon space flight world. I didn't want my parents to catch us, and I remember getting so high i would not be able to keep composure.
I am a believer from first hand anecdotal evidence that weed isnt as strong as it once was, even if science claims it's way better. the proof is in the first hand experience. Modern strains do not get me as high, they make me lethargic.
With this super long winded intro out the way I wanted to post the Colombian weed I have been purchasing recently.
I moved back to Colombia in 2016, and was living in a pueblo in the eje cafetero, outside of manizales for about 7 months. I found out my GF was preggo, and she and her family are from barranquilla, most of my fam is stateside or incommunicado so i made the decision to move to barranquilla to be with her closer to her fam for the baby.
I have been here about 7 months now. My son was born healthy and happy. I have an awesome wife, and a badass dog, and I am loving life.
I have made a couple decent connects to buy smoke since i moved, but nothing like my connects I had in manizales.
This thread is to show you the traditional colombian strains I have been able to find here (not the mass grown hybrids known as crippa, these are criolla strains or local colombian strains).
Last night I went to the centro and bought 250,000 pesos worth of weed ($85.75 USD) from my GF's family friend. ( not the grower from santa marta...he is MIA right now which is a shame because he has had the strongest weed I have smoked out here).
I wanted to show you some pics but bear with me I am not a talented fotografo.
Pics:
first off an aguila negra, a colombian beer i like.
next up a collection of colombian bag seeds, the seeds are a mixture of seeds from the eje cafetero (manizales, chinchina, perreira, armenia) and weed from santa marta and barranquilla that I have got since I moved.
here is some weed i got two weeks ago, it is cerebral and racy and happy, not trippy though...
it is super lemony smelling. it was green with a ton of red hairs when i got it, but has darkened considerably, my house does not have ac and I kept it in a tupperware. It kind of naturally sweat cured, as it was pretty fresh when I got it. I got a bunch of seeds from it so I am super happy.
It's about 31 degrees celsius here, and 87% humidity today, fwiw.
I bought a 100,000 pesos worth about $32-ish USd and got about a quarter pound.
My pictures don't do it justice. It is great go run errands around town smoke.
