A close friend went to Mexico October last year and stayed in a costal town resort he told me it was owned by the cartels and you could by cannabis every were,The resort was closed off to locals beach roped off so on.Locals could come up to the rope and sell you what ever you liked basically.
He ended up getting him self some nice sativa smoke and plans to go back.

Here is a Torreon x Michoacan from Snowhigh. One of the best highs I have, if not the best. Reminds me of another Michoacan, so not sure on which way this leans. I took a chance and put it outside for some pretty intense socal sun yesterday, before putting it in a dark tent to dry up. Outdoor is not allowed in my area.
The look of the plant is not quite Michoacan from what I remember, the buds are so small on this. This is tiny and delicate like the 'Acapulco Gold' that is sold by Snowhigh and Bodhi.
This appears to be a legit older line. No yield is a sign. Not a money maker.

Holycow what a beautiful plant! Its amazing what you were able to do with her!
Im happy that i not had a bigger pot/basket to hand, otherwise she wouldn't fit in the tent anymore. Normally she was my mother plant, but i thought why not let her flower and hold some smaller moms.
A quick photo of my Oaxaca boel

Some little mexican....
My camera broke after I posted this last year so I was never able to post a final bud shot. I have a new camera now. This is the flower after a year cure. Aromas are of earth, bay leaf and a little bit of dried mint. Or, to put it another way, it smells like an aromatic version of the 80s Mexican brick weed that all older smokers in the US are familiar with. There is also a hint of lemon flavor to the smoke. It does not taste or smell good by modern standards, but I suspect that part of the awesome high of old Mexican weed came from the terpene profile that we bred out of it. The high is uplifting, energizing, giggly and somewhat psychedelic with no paranoia/anxiety.

Very interesting story Som
I made the 12 fingers pure mexican cross almost in the same way, I just found one single plant from a old pure mexican landrace with an unique profile,and Cross it with a pure Oaxaca male,i know that both lines are pure but hard to know the exactly origin región here in México.
Back when I was growing bagseed in the late '80s and early '90s nobody would ever tell you where the brickweed was from. Nearly all of it where I lived came through Sinaloa but I know that back then they were just reselling weed that was grown all over Mexico. The tiny amount that wasn't from Mexico was Southeast Asian sold by the Hmong. The Mexican plants and the Southeast Asian plants had very different looks so I can say for sure that the parents were from Mexico but I have no idea where in Mexico specifically.
By the time I made this cross I had probably flowered around 100 Mexican plants over the the course of the previous five years. This line was so much better than any of the other Mexican I had grown that I knew right away that I had something special. At that point I decided that I had to do everything possible to keep the line safe until it could go back out into the world after legalization.
Mexican was the default weed in the US for decades but most Americans have never had good Mexican, when I smoke this with people for the first time they are usually surprised by how it hits them, especially because it is so different than modern hybrids.

Might be Mexican Red Hair you have Som. Left to right in the pic is Mexican Red Hair, Sumatran, Golden Tiger, OH x Oaxacan with the Oaxacan winning the expression contest. I have another one with skinny leaves so the OH dominated it.
They are 11 days into flower so I figure the Mexicans are gonna be done in 8 more weeks or so as they are not skinny leaves and I like clear to cloudy resin. The Sumatran and Tiger are gonna need more time even with my 9/15 light schedule.
Snow was emphatic on the Mexican Red Hair being very good so I popped them first. He gave me Oaxacan Pine Melon and Mexican Punta Roja as well, all three are not to be shared I have to say. I have bought a lot stuff from him over the years and he is generous with freebies but usually they are crosses.

It is definitely a version of Mexican Red Hair, but I always saw that as more of a generic term rather than a specific strain. Almost all of the Mexican bagseed I grew back then looked like Mexican Red Hair, I think it is just what most Mexican looked like before it was pressed into bricks. I think Mexican stopped looking like that once a certain percentage of indica was added to its gene pool.
Back then when I was sprouting brickweed bagseed ('88 to '93) most of it was sativa but about 20% were the classic unhybridized indica. I was in the Midwest, I am pretty sure that there were was nobody bringing in brickweed from central Asia into my city so I always assumed that was from the cartels starting to grow it in northern Mexico. Most of the indica was schwag, there is nothing less compelling than bad indica. I saw very few clearly hybrid plants from bagseed so the hybridization of Mexican cannabis we have now must have still been in its early days. Almost everything looked like it was all indica or all sativa with maybe just a little bit of the traits from one bleeding over into the other.
