Represent son. We holding it down in kildonan park. Medman is my homie in real life. He’s a real G

Love it!
I met him once quickly at a weed convention (LIFT Toronto) pre-COVID!

Didn't have much to say at the time other than hello! but I certainly have a gigantic newfound appreciation now that I know he also appreciates & loves (and is doing the actual WORK!) to resurrect this badly forgotten piece of Cannabis history

Nice to meet you eastcoastjoe!!

Hey dude

Whats good? Always great to connect with fellows I've actually met in person

It's nice you have 4 plants to play around with in ontario. God knows it's the best thing that came out of legalization

"Skunk" weed in the 70s was a term for several aromatic weed varieties, like people might use "dank" to describe heavy indica stone weed. Slang basically. As the aromatic varieties slowly disappeared through bad breeding practices, people missed it. Then someone decided to capitalize on it by creating a mythology that it was one particular strain... and they had it. Why someone isnt trying to capitalize on "Dank#1" is beyond me.

the FBI destroyed it

from what i hear, growers destroyed it.

well, i guess it's the gubment's fault, so we can say the fbi did it, haha... but how i've heard it said from old heads is that the stuff was just too much of a security risk, and if it wasn't pushed SUPER underground, then it was just slowly genocided... and now everyone and their mom regrets doing so.

i do know skunkman sam said that he himself did that very thing to his skunk line (got rid of rks phenos), but i've heard it from other people, as well. skunkVA (of chem 91 fame) talks about a guy in virginia that would hunt skunks just to bring them to his neigborhood dead to cover up the smell of his super skunks. that sounds far fetched, but who tf knows haha

This is true.

But missing some data

There was a clone only that that went around far and wide for 2 decades or selfed versions of it

So that is the one skunk that captured the hearts and minds of millions

I can sort of get what you're saying... but I can't get past the insane, constant lying about anything and everything, always. Making fake accounts to converse with himself (multiple instances of this), quoting himself to back up something he just said, as if that is some sort of proof of anything.

Finding any and all landrace varieties from a "single source" hybrid bag of weed in Peru. Things magically changing from one thing to another like a shape shifter...

And then, he grows crappy plants. Almost never a healthy plant pic to be found.

But he is merry! Which is an endearing quality. So there's that.

If it weren't for all the nonsense detailed above, I would agree with you. But the nonsense outweighs everything else in my mind.

These bad breeding practices are how we got here. Chemically induced hermaphroditism to make GMO feminized seeds. One cant trust those seeds.

But the parents strains are still in the hands of a few caretakers. Acapulco, columbian, afghani. I think anyone serious would start over with these parents and make fire, rather than nurse along whatever bombed out remains are still passed around. Am I missing something?

The parent strains are way more valuable than the hybrid. The hybrid cant produce true F1s which is where the exhaggeration/vigor shows up to discover these unique hybrid phenotypes in the first place. That response doesn't happen when crossing polyhybrids or amalgamations. People are looking with their heads on backwards.

And I'm not convinced skunky weed was one strain or one strain of the aromatic weed of that time which survived. I can see some kid claiming that to look cool, and as the decades passed, it probably happened more than once.

People didnt like to buy that strong smelling weed because of prohibition, and nobody wants to get caught. I've seen skunky weed turned down for just the smell you cant hide. That had to be a part of ita decline also. Fucking drug war. Enter Northern Lites to go on dominate as northern lights did, with basically no smell on number 5 for stealth growing.

When people said, I want that skunk again. They arent talking about a strain, but but a whole range of quality that is completely absent today.

And then of course comes the chorus of confused parrots asking for strains. Skunk, skunk#1, skunk#2 sweetskunk, cherryskunk, skunk cookies. My God.
