The Roadkill Skunk Fan Club

no i am talking about tolerance developed over days or weeks of use. In one of my examples, i reported on a piney sativa that would get you super stoned on first use, but at the end of an 1/8th, you get almost no stone at all, even off a huge joint. thats tolerance buildup issues.
i understand what the ceiling concept is. when you smoke, certain strains can only get you so high, others have no ceiling, in that you can smoke more and more in one sitting, and get higher and higher. i wasn't referring to that at all.
If i was the only one who felt that way, it would be one persons opinion.
but its the memory and feelings of most likely thousands of individuals; pretty much everybody who got to try the real roadkill much, will all agree with the sentiments i expressed. Shit, its the reason this thread exists, love for the roadkill. I see a bit too much hate for the roadkill in this thread, negativity. I thought it was the roadkill fan club...
i never said the word equivalent. what i said, or if not exactly stated for you, what i meant was, that i know old stoners, people around 70 now, who had much experience with the initial wave of great import weed, the late 60's and 70's, in the vancouver area. those people will pretty much all say skunk is the best there ever was, but going back before skunk there were a few things that would rival it for sure. no one who remembers thai stick, panama red or killer cambodian can turn their back on those memories. But when skunk came out, they all stopped looking for import weed to buy.

No one has anything against RKS here. Some people are taking exception to the way you describe RKS as above and beyond anything that came before and anything that came after. Basically you're saying RKS is the pinnacle of all Marijuana strains. The holy grail if you will. Now I have no doubt RKS was a killer strain and one of the best for it's time but I like many others believe you're unintentionally exaggerating it's status.
While many people who posted here did enjoy RKS they seem to be looking for it's terpene profile not it's quality of high. Now while I haven't read the whole thread it seems only you and skunkypuffs believe it's on another level potency and tolerance wise.
In fact most of the old school reports attribute the most profound and legendary highs to imported landrace Sativas. Panama Red, Santa Marta Colombian Gold, Acapulco Gold, Highland Oaxacan gold, Thai Stick, Vietnam Black, Durban Posion and others.
Now while you're right in saying I never tried RKS I have tried a lot of quality no name locally grown strains and more recently top quality seedbank strains. I always found that I got most blown away in my early days smoking no name strains when I was 13-14 years of age or when I take a considerable break, greater than 3 months, and smoke again for the first time.
No one has anything against you or your love for RKS. You're welcome to keep hunting and chasing your dream that's your choice. But your views on RKS being superior to everything else is not the consensus here. Obviously just because you're not in the consensus group doesn't make your beliefs any less valid than others but it is highly suggestive of that unfortunately.
I am sorry you never got to experience it. You cant really see what one means about the roadkill if you never got to try it. Talking about how other strains affected you when you were young, have nothing to do with the potency of roadkill. My dad was over yesterday, he is like 20 years older than I am, and holds the same views as I do on the roadkill.

I remember when I tried RKS at the time it was the most potent I had tried but I am not sure I would say it is more potent than a lot of "elite cuts" on the market today just unique in its character and the high was stellar and different to other skunks I have tried although I could detect a lot of elements in the high I could detect in other skunks the way it came together in the rks was fuller and more rounded.

Well we've both made our viewpoints very clear on RKS. So I'll guess we'll have to agree to disagree then.
Good luck with resurrecting your S1 RKS back to it's former glory and make sure you put some up on seedbay when you do so we can all experience RKS and see for ourselves if it deserves critical acclaim.

Just watching a hashchurch episode right now, and the founder of og kush and bubba kush said if he could get a cut of the old school gainsville skunk, he would give them a million dollars.

You'd be surprised how many flavor chasers there are on ICMag where potency and effect comes second to taste. I have no doubt RKS was very potent but personally have trouble believing it was Super or Outstandingly potent and unparalleled in it's potency. But hey that's just me.
In any case I believe SamS did some terpene experiments back in the day so maybe you might want to chat with him about designing an experiment to determine definitively if that is the case with RKS.
I am not surprised that you would be highly skeptical at all. If i put myself in the shoes of one who never got to try it much, or at all, i would be probably be like, ya right, as if. Because since then, I have tried dozens and dozens of things, and although there are outstanding examples all over, nothing really sticks out as "better than anything by far", so its completely normal to be skeptical of such claims.

Interesting that in a thread called the strongest weed you have had,so far not one person has mentioned the roadkill skunk,I wonder if some people(skunky puffs & hashmasta-cut)are just slightly over rating or remember it much more than it really was. Not knocking the RKS but it's sounds childish the way some people are coming off and trying to over prove lol.

its not just the raw potency it is the quality of the high with the rks. It was extremely potent but had a lot of the happy qualities of an orange skunk (Im talking about the mother plant the tangie and the like derive from) and just a lot more depth complexity and silliness. Its like you get these phenols now and then that just have a definitive distinct character to them and rks is one of those. The quality of the high on this one is just really stand out because it is a lot of fun and very buzzy.
to put it in perspective... I have tried uk cheese, the old school orange skunk cut, green crack, and ecsd. The rks is just better than all of them in terms of loudness of scent, potency and quality of high.

He doesn't say "Gainsville Skunk" but "Gainsville Green", I don't think it's the same. The million dollars is for Gainsville Green...

Seems some hear only what they want to hear...
I recall, in about 90-91 having a neighbor growing some bad ass herb... most potent I've ever tried at that point in time. They were calling it Alien.
It was RKS in appearance, aroma & high.
Potency was excellent but it certainly wasn't more potent than what's on the market today.
I cant say they were growing RKS, just that descriptions match better than any others I've seen.
Good luck to all in their hunts.
I'm moving forward!

thats right, but the context of the conversation, the whole thing, shows it was roadkill. it was called its own name based wherever it was grown, just like they talked about with OG. There were tons of names for roadkill based on area, naturally; people would want to lay some kind of claim to it being from their area since it was so dank.
I went and re-listened, he says, "i still miss my skunk", "the gainsville", "we owe sam a lot for that", a few snippets, from starting at 3 :49 :20ish
