Are Punto rojo and Columbian red the same thing? I smoked one ounce of columbian red as a 17 year old and have wanted that back for 43 years...
I was a high iq nerd that overthought everything and Columbian gold made it worse. The red put me in avery zen place, of course i hadnt had indica yet so ita hard to gauge, but it didnt make me sleepy just at peace with all creation and myself. It felt good.
I have also wondered about columbian black, does anyone have it or use it? I know gage green supposedly had some and shoreline used to pollinate some ' shoreline' plants. Gage hreen then had a Miss Columbian rhat had skunk in it? Possibly some of shorelines genetics? It would be nice to know.
I had lots of Colombian experience in California in the 70's, a very magical time.
Back in the 70's I smoked through pounds of Colombian. This is one of the best times of my life! The Gold was the best, a magic carpet ride from the first hit you could feel the effect come on spreading through your veins radiating out from your lungs as the hit expanded to the coughing point, then an hour or two of extreme exuberance followed by a couple of hours of introspective self examination. The taste was like incense, chocolate, and smooth caramel and you wanted to keep exhaling through your sinuses to catch that flavor after the hit. It was a Heavenly smoke, never rolled fat, always a skinny joint or just a pinner, any more was too much. Had to really know you wanted to get high and plan for it, did not want to be in too busy a place for fear of being overloaded and freaking out. I lived out in a peach orchard outside of town back then, best place on earth to be, warm weather, my lady and lots of room to play. I had a McIntosh stereo I could turn to full blast and rock or Reggae out, it was heaven and the Gold made it MORE SO.
The Red was around at the same time and was sometimes so red it was almost black, very fermented, very sticky and pungent, like earth and cinnamon and nutmeg, wood and bark. Not as pleasurable as Gold flavor and very thick, sticky and greasy, also stem-my, the Gold was little round nickel sized nuggets full of seeds. Red made you relax to the point you wanted to go to sleep. This was also before I had ever smoked any indica bud, hash yes lots of Afghani and Nepalese(Temple Balls and Fingers) and it was an excellent tasty dreamy floating high. But the Colombian Red was slow down and be lazy to the point of wanting to go to sleep, not exciting or trippy and after about 30 minutes you were nodding.
I'd had good Mexican herb, Oaxacan and Michoacan and Gurerro and loved it, but the Gold Colombian was degrees above that, it was a longer high with much more sudden impact and bold flavor that went for a long time. I coated myself in this herb, I had it everywhere I went, I lived in it, it was part of me by 1976. This album came out in 76, it was the THEME SONG for Gold Colombian Jah Lion, Colombia Colly says everything you need to know about Colombian Weed, listen to the lyrics https://youtu.be/Ri9_n_NHOSo
After about 1977 or so Colombian was way too much in demand and it started being of way lesser quality and the DEA was on to the smuggling routs also cocaine started being more profitable and easier to smuggle and the Colombian herb was gone.
So I tried growing it...View Image

Where would you find this Zamalito?Zamalito's selection of Colombian Black is the one to look for. Vapor posted a grow report here at IcMag. They weren't black.
I smoked a dark Colombian for about 10 years in the 1970's. It was the strongest, densest, most intense and most trippy of the Colombian highs. It was my best friends favorite high, he always had it for 10 years. The high on this Colombian Dark Green / Black was too intense for everyday smoke.
Very interesting. I wonder if you have found any Colombian Gold seeds that have given you something like you had back in the 70's? I know you have grown many strains and also if you have a new favorite.
I liked the USC '72 I have grown but I did not get the old incense smell from it. Other than that, a great high. Better than the CG I had in '79. I like my Michoacan, Guerrero, Acapulco Gold as well as the CG if not better.
There are two types of Colombian Red. 1) Highland grown 2) is lowland coastal grown. They have different highs. The lowland Colombian Red is often more dense, euphoric, dreamy, and almost narcotic, similar high to Panama Red.
