amazing thread!!
especially thankful for those that have posted pics.
I'm old enough to have smoked many of the "strains of lore," many of which are detailed in this thread.....the Thais, Columbians, Mexicans, etc....
Just seeing some of the pics snapped me back in time and dug up some great memories.
its true, that, over time, cannabis has surely 'evolved' in many ways; some good some bad. Many factors have contributed to this, of which, I wont get into. We all have valid reasons for this.
While I don't agree with some of the opinions here, I do agree with 'there is no perfect smoke; that is purely subjective to the person smoking/eating it.
At the end of the day, one of the best traits of cannabis, to me, is the plethora of varieties and effects that are still delivered to this day. While the 'pure' strains of lore are no longer as widely available as they were in the 60s,70s, and even 80s, it doesn't mean they are extinct. The effort to track them down and verify their authenticity, is expensive, and very time consuming; requiring more resources than most growers want to invest. Or can't.
.....not to mention growing pure wild sativas are pretty hard to do in places like (most of) the US mainland and lots Europe.
All in all, this thread is a great read and a great record of evidence of how cannabis, and peoples tastes therefore, has changed over time.
it, also, details the need for those out there that keep, find, and preserve the varieties that are the base of the cannabis scene today and the popularity and acceptance its gained in the western world over the decades.

cannabis in finland somewhere at 1900
(behind people near at wall)
++++++++++++++++++++
interesting note:
An old country hemp stock was found in Ilomantsi As early as the beginning of the 20th century, hemp was widely cultivated in Finland, always later than southern Lapland. A variety of local varieties, country eggs, were abundant in all sorts of crops on offer. When hemp cultivation virtually ceased in the 1960s, old varieties began to disappear. One variety was rescued together in a Nordic gene bank in the 70s, but that too was destroyed in storage. Northern Sun - Boreal Seedbank, a northern seed banking company that started operations in Ilomantsi, got a hint from the local old hemp fiber stock, and after a small rummage, hemp inflorescences were found there, which were also high in seeds. The discovery was made on the Kuikanniemi farm from the ors of Väinö Leppänen's barn. -The purpose is to collect all the seeds from the straw and try to get it, says Hannu Hyvönen. -We contact the University of Eastern Finland and hope that help was found there in the study of ancient seeds. In addition to genetic information, oral genetic and hemp delivery tools, textiles, and photographs are of interest. The hemp development company Hamppusampo Oy is best looking for a well-established Finnish hemp museum. -Gathering the hemp-related tradition for the most important task, which can also be of market value. In the midst of the global hemp boom, it is important to highlight how hemp has been grown in Finland for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. We have generations of roots in hemp cultivation and utilization.

Calendar Girls 1976
Calendar Girls 1976
Here is the 1976 Calendar. These photos give you a good idea of what was coming into the San Francisco Bay area at the time and how it changed over the years. They started publishing the calendars in 1974 but they used the same images from 1974 on the 1975 calendar. They just added the names to the varieties and some moon phase and holiday info to the calendar. I have all of them from 1974 to 1982 except the 1978 calendar. I'll get that eventually. I'll put them all up here except for the 1982 calendar. They started to get more artsy fartsy with that one and it shows less of the buds. Enjoy the stroll through history.
