Some were fake...
Pretty sure I had a fake one once, a yellow star if I remember correctly, that was a proper bummer.
The report mentions that during bust’s, a lot of the confiscated sheets were undosed where they obviously hadn’t got round to dipping them yet.
It wouldn’t surprise me if some undipped sheet’s made they’re way out on to the streets.
‘Ere ah La’, sheets of 100, there’s fuck all on them but you can knock ‘em out fiver a go.
I’m sure some scally would go for it, ha ha
They done me, lol, only once though

I don’t know man. Although it would be great to think that Brotherhood members kept seed line’s going from the 70’s, it’s probably highly unlikely… but could of. I mean, I’m sure some people have but they are really few and far between, a rarity.
I know some have luck sprouting old seeds and I know there are some old Mexi’s and Lumbo’s around today but I’ve increasingly seen people across the board’s attaching the Boel moniker to their seeds to maybe add some weight to the provenance of said seeds? Maybe I’m wrong and hope so too but I just don’t know.
I’m not saying you elchischas have done that, I mean your just going off what you were told as were others, so please don’t take this the wrong way, I’m not trying to be a dick.
Oaxacan and Colombian gold are legends in their own right who any landrace lover would be excited to have and don’t need extra tags to make them special.
If there really are Boel seedlots out there, I would imagine they came from brotherhood associates, maybe reproductions from later dates?? We all know how most seeds from pot were just chucked back in the day and the knowledge of long term storage wasn’t well known back in the 70’s, even mid 80’s to most.
I’m just having my own guess at it all, I’m no expert on Boel, just someone with an interest anyway. I suppose the person to ask would be the member here Cerebal Fluid as his grandad really was a member and I’m sure he grows pot, I think he’s even been busted for it once or twice, as well as smuggling hashish back in the day. If anyone would know about this subject,
He would know I reckon.
I read a book about Owsley a couple years back. Apparently when he got out of jail for producing acid, he moved to I think Marin County is it?? To grow weed. I never knew that.
I’m waiting for someone to come out with “Owsley Kush bro, been kept in Cali since the mid 70’s” He He….ya never know
Interesting thread! Love reading about this stuff.
@window FYI, Owlsley moved to Australia in the 80s and lived in the tropical North of the country where he died in a car accident about 10 years ago.

Yeah, the book ends with that.
I’ll have to look it out again, I think it’s called Bear?
There is another called My LSD Family written by Bear’s bit on the side during the 60’s/70’s.
Both good books and worth a read.
it was down the road from my place where he lived ,Interesting thread! Love reading about this stuff.

i reckon he could tell i was too , hahaha ..

That i know of, there is nothing left from back then.... some of the brothers saved seeds from the 80's, but none of them were that big of growers other than growing some for personal stash up until the 80's
Living in Honduras (70's) was the first time my granddad grew, and that was while they were already on the run.
