I hope you don't mind but found a research paper about the cannabinoids in colombian marijuana leaves.

Cannabinoids Content in Marijuana Leaves (Cannabis sativa L.) from Colombia

Thanks for the info. but I couldn't pull up the link (may be banned in Colombia?). Nothing really exciting to report here, I've had a couple other "samples" but its just more of the same. One was said to be punto rojo but wasn't even close. It looks like it will be awhile before I can grow so I just set my mind to making oil.

Peace from Colombia!

Red Rider - I got the link to work, and skimmed it. If I read it correctly, it said that the strongest weed was in the south region (looks like south west on the map). Increased potency due to hybridization with new strains.

I don't put much stock in it because it judged potency by measured THC, although they did include CBD and CBN. I did not see any reference to THCV. I don't think psychoactivity can be measured by THC alone.

It did have some interesting history:

Cannabis introduced in the early 1600s! Recognized early for aleviation of pain with application of a poltice. Recognized as an intoxicant in 1927 on the Caribean coast and used by laborers and sailors. Use increased after Vietnam war (?). Was Columbia involved? Almost sounds like the historical timeline of the United States.

Interesting.

I would never ruin a fine Colombian marijuana by turning it into oil. I know it is a new fad but I was smoking oil back in the 70's. Nothing New at all just a new fad, Smoke the bud and leaves and enjoy. Jon 55 :thank you::thank you:

I wouldn't either but this isn't "fine" Colombian by any means (see the above pics and discriptions). For my taste the 15 sec. QWISO is much better than the bud. Which is not to say I don't burn the bud when I want something a little less heavy. Its not easy for me to find the really good pure Colombian strains any more, there's lots of super good cripy around but the pressed domestic bud has been just so so the last few months. ISO is nothing new to me, I don't think I knew about it in the 70s but I've had hash oil from that time. I'm going to reup this weekend and maybe it will be something worth posting about, last week the guy got me all excited saying he had real punto rojo. Turned out to just be some really rusty colored domestic bud that I didn't buy @100,000 an lb.

SATIVA!

SATIVA!

There really are some interesting things here, some like it some don’t. Here are a few pics of different samples I’ve gotten over the past weeks. It’s all I believe to be traditional sativa; to me it looks and smokes the same as what I got in the 70s. Some is much more potent than others and I only bought what I consider to be “good” effect wise. There is a big difference between this type of bud and the “cripy” which I know is a hybrid. I think I can tell the bud that’s grown at a lower altitude by the effect it has on me, of course I would like to state that I didn’t grow these strains (yet) and I don’t know the growers so what they are exactly I can’t say. The last batch I got was said to be really good according to my Colombian friend. It turns out this is very fresh (fresh=wet) and green in color with a very minty smell and taste. The effect although not real strong is very nice long lasting and clean on the come down, just what I’m looking for.

Im craving some imported sativa after that post red, that red bud looks special, almost pink.
Do you know if its genetics or something else that makes this colour?
Also what sort of aromas does it have?

i still have some crippi seeds from colombia.my friend in colombia says that even most of the crippi are dutch hybs.

said most of what is referred to as gold nowadays tends to be just any top shelf... how we refer to thing as dank. But just like from the first post here, he said the best way to get the old heirloom lines is to go to the farmers and get some brick.

red rider: great thread, just read the whole thing. This takes me back to the 70s when I lived in TX and Colombian Gold and Red were very common. The red was more intense while the gold was more cerebral. We loved that musty smell!

About five years ago, my good friend was cleaning out his garage and found a coffee can with a few thousand gold and red seeds in it. The seeds were over 30 years old. He tried and tried to germinate the seeds but none of them would pop. He bought some Colombian seeds when he was in Vancouver a couple of years ago and grew them out. Nice smoke but nothing like the original.

Thanks for this thread I am really enjoying it.

Thanks for the interest everyone and sorry for my delay. I’ve had I guess 7 different samples since December and all are locally known as “regs” or regular domestic cannabis that is grown in different regions of Colombia. It all is cured somewhat the same way and varies in degrees of freshness; some can be quit potent but most not. I only got a little of the pink looking “redbud” as I was told it was Punto Rojo (which it’s not) and it cost a considerable bit more so I didn’t buy any. It has a rusty red brown color and is what I remember as being redbud from the 70s with a strong earthy musky smell and taste. The effect is industrial strength hard hitting Colombian, very euphoric and inspiring, thought provoking. However after an hour or so the effect becomes tiring and sleepy, smoking more resulted in a half hour high and long lasting come down. For the price I didn’t care for it, now since I can’t grow ATM I’ve refined my buying into the best bud for making oil with. I’m very happy with the cheap no name “regs” for oil since it seems to bring out the best of the traditionally cured local Sativa. I can obtain Colombian grown imported genetics known as “cripy” that even comes with names like white widow and skunk. The cripy is high quality flowers and are super tasty and potent but to me do not posses the “high” found in the domestic strains. I do like the cripy because the smell and taste are so very aromatic but the effect is somewhat bland, strong but without personality.

Just an update

Just an update

Not much to report here lately, been getting pounds of the local Sativa and converting it into QWISO. I haven’t seen any “really good” Sativa for awhile, I don’t know if there’s none around or my guy is just getting lazy and getting what’s easiest to obtain. Still waiting to move so I can get some growing and now I’m burning maybe 5 grams of oil per week (work is slow leaving me with a lot of time). I get bored smoking the bud because I get so much of it (a lb. at a time or more due to the price break) but the oil from all is delightful. I did get a gram or so of some really nice “cripy” but I burnt it without a photo shoot. It was really dense sweet smelling hybrid with a perfect balance effect, it was a sample and when I called for more it was gone. Just my luck but anyway we are shooting for September to move somewhere that I can grow and no more buying bud. I do have one super sativa seeding growing but she only gets a little light so it just a house plant for now.

Ive been smoking some really dark Columbian with only a few seeds here and there all week long. Its only $100 an ounce and stacks up against most dank in potency.
The effect is a bit dirty and gets you abit tired, while the medical weed I grow indoors is clear headed with 0 burnout.
But it gets you pretty cooked and tastes earthy/musky.
Not bad to smoke between crops.

Yes it seems and always has that most Colombian is potent but can become tiring at the finish, however there has been a few samples that are really good. The oil I make from the domestic Sativa makes me lazy, intensity happy but not as clean as my HG. I am getting bored with most of the "regs" I get here but it's cheap and something to keep me going till I can grow my own.
