Most of the cannabis going to the Us just like here originate from returning vets and a lot of cannabis being exported in were seed was found and you had some that was also brought in by travelers and hippies and surfers.
To be honest there were many other locations apart from California with grate cannabis the Hawaiian Islands - Australia - Asia - Africa and the list goes on.
For over 20years i have read Cali this and Cali that well i hate to brake to some but Cali was not the only place with a large cannabis culture.
Yes i love Haze but haze is at the end of the day a hybrid of quality sativas and there were a lot of very special sativas around and still are out there.
This Sam vs Nevil thing is bull shit and the myths and second hand Chinese whispers (The Haze Story's ) really has no relevance at the end of the day it all comes down to the smoke even Sam posted that.
Why are so many fixated on a STORY that allegedly happened in the late 60s and or in the 70s i would of thought the important part was the cannabis and the quality of the smoke and preserving it and trying to improve or better put stabilize its quality it had and have it show up in more plants than we were seeing in Haze even 36 years ago.
You started this thread, not one of us.Like I wrote earlier I'm not convinced in the lineage anymore, perhaps the Punto Rojo was a Panama red back in the days.The US military did grow marijuana in Panama in the 1920s for research, Colombian came much later.
