Not my wife

Then who's wife is she? :biggrin:
 
Right before I started working at the Grapevine steakhouse, I ran around with another group of no good nicks. Some rich guys from school that liked to get high. One guy named Bruce was from LA and moved to Texas that year was my main running buddy for a few months. Bruce was cool, his folks had money and he had some really cool expensive stuff and that California laid back attitude. A couple other friends and I would hang out at Bruce’s house after school to smoke on his parents stash till the came home around 6 PM. Among other cool stuff Bruce had a Chevy Vega and somehow he squeezed a huge 350 CI v 8 engine in it making the car incredibly fast and powerful. Even drunk that car scared the hell out of me as Bruce terrorized us driving at breakneck speeds on twisty lake roads (at night). Bruce also had a great weed connection and one evening three of us went to score a lid. Me and another buddy waited in the Vega while Bruce went inside a trailer to get the weed. I remember it was raining and dark sitting in that car all excited about getting some weed that was really good. Finally Bruce comes jumping in the car and off we go. He pulls a big bag out of his pants and throws it at me with some papers. It was dark but I could see the weed was indeed the gold (Colombian) he had promised and I began to clean seeds and roll joints as we raced down rain wet lake roads. The smoke was great, sweet golden sun ripened Colombian and a good deal at $40. We smoked jamming AC/DC while Bruce pushed the limits of the over powered Vega. The weed was very up and made us laugh uncontrollably at everything, soon we parked at a 7/11 near the town (Grapevine) to munch out on some junk food. Undeniably high we got back into the Vega and roared back on to the road boiling the back tires off leaving the store. I was in the back seat rolling and smoking more joints when a cop behind us lit up his lights. Joints still burning, ashtray filled with roaches Bruce stopped the car. I put the bag in the front pocket of my jeans as I didn’t have time to hide it in the car. The lone cop ordered us out of the car talking about the loud odor of cannabis coming from the still smoking car. We were freaking out as the cop was telling us about all the jail time we had coming to us as soon as he found the weed. The three of us were lined up on the right side of the car near some bushes as the cop started to search the car first. As the cop bent into the back of the Vega I reached in my pocket and regretfully threw the big bag or gold into the bushes behind us. Finding nothing but roaches and seeds in the car the cop was getting pissed off and while searching us he began to threaten us with an ass whopping if we didn’t tell him where the weed was. Bruce got punched right in the stomach as he smarted off to the cop me and the other guy just shut up and stood still. Disgusted and pissed off the cop finally let us go, he sat in his car as we slowly pulled away. But now we had no weed and the cop never saw me throw the bag so we thought just be cool and wait an hour to return and find the bag. So we returned to the same spot not seeing anyone around we began to search the ground looking for it. We looked and looked but it wasn’t there, then suddenly out of the bushes jumps the cop. He yells I got you mother fuckers and he held up our bag, saying I got your sweet marijuana now. Just then the other guy with us bends down and says, I found them picking up a set of keys from the ground. We deny the weed is ours and said we just came back to look for the keys we lost while he searched us earlier. Angry and frustrated the cop let us go again saying he knew who we were and that we were pot heads and he would get us sooner or later. We drove back and scored another bag.

If you have not seen or heard about this movie from the well-respected Colombian director, Ciro Guerra, you simply must see it.
It's filmed in Black&White and has Spanish, English, German, and 3 or 4 native Amazonian dialects used in its story. Dr. Richard Evan Schultes you might remember is the amazing explorer, psychedelic plant researcher, and author. In fact, he wrote the intro for Robert Clarke's first thesis on marijuana.


picture.php



"At once blistering and poetic, the ravages of colonialism cast a dark shadow over the South American landscape in EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT, the third feature by Ciro Guerra. Filmed in stunning black-and-white, SERPENT centers on Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and the last survivor of his people, and the two scientists who, over the course of 40 years, build a friendship with him. The film was inspired by the real-life journals of two explorers (Theodor Koch-Grünberg and Richard Evans Schultes) who traveled through the Colombian Amazon during the last century in search of the sacred and difficult-to-find psychedelic Yakruna plant."




ACTORS


Jan Bijvoet - "Theo"
Jan was born in Antwerp in 1966. He has been one of the artistic directors and actors of the Antarctica Theater since 2005. He has also performed in film and television, and has guest-starred in a number of series. He has starred in the films AD FUNDUM, THE BROKEN CIRCLE BREAKDOWN (Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film), and BORGMAN (Official Selection – Competition, Cannes 2013). In 2007, he was nominated for the Flemish Culture Award of Scenic Arts. Referring to the German explorer who was the inspiration for his character, he reflects that even though Grünberg tried to integrate with the native people, he could not let go of his white spirit. “He has the western way of thinking, and he wants to carry hundreds of things to study. Love is possession, too. He is also afraid of death. He doesn’t understand why, but it’s because deep down, he is a materialist since his formation, even though he tries to drift away from it.”

Brionne Davis - "Evan"
Brionne was born in Texas and started acting at a very early age, playing Tom Sawyer. He has starred and taken leading roles in more than 30 independent films, including REST STOP, WITCHES OF OZ, PANDEMIA, NARCISSIST (2014), SAVAGED (2013), DON’T LOOK BACK (2008), and HOLIDAYS WITH HEATHER (2006). In New York, Brionne starred in the Theatre Row Adaptation of Sam Shepard’s True West. He has appeared in many theater productions all across the country, including Wallenburg at the Soho Play house, and A Noble Exile, in Los Angeles and Nueva York, a one-man show that he wrote and produced, inspired by the writings of Tennessee Williams. Brionne’s character was inspired by the great botanist and explorer Richard Evans Schultes, and he feels close to him in his love and search of plants and nature.

Antonio Bolívar Salvador - "Old Karamakate"
Antonio is one of the last survivors of the Ocaina people. He resides near Leticia and had some previous experiences in filmmaking, but he prefers not to speak about them because he feels that they were disrespectful to his culture. Besides playing one of the main characters, Antonio also served as interpreter for the Tikuna, Cubeo, Huitoto languages and even English, as he became the teacher of the international actors. Antonio represents the best of the Amazonian people, willing to trust the foreigners, to transmit their knowledge and thankful to be treated respectfully. That’s the most important aspect of the film to him: “It is a film that shows the Amason, the lungs of the world, the greater purifying filter and the most valuable of indigenous culture. That is its greatest achievement.”

Nilbio Torres - "Young Karamakate"
Nilbio has never set foot on a gym; his amazing physique has been sculpted by the hardships of the jungle and the hard work he’s done since he was little. The 30-year-old has only ever worked in agriculture and this is his first experience with the cinema. He has a hard time expressing himself in Spanish, as he speaks mostly Cubeo. But he manages to find words to tell what this experience has meant to him. He feels the film is faithful to the story of his ancestors. “What Ciro is doing with this film is an homage to the memory of our elders, in the time before; the way the white men treated the natives, the rubber exploitation. I’ve asked the elders how it was and it is as seen on the film, that’s why we decided to support it. For the elders and myself it is a memory of the ancestors and their knowledge.”

Miguel Dionisio Ramos - "Manduca"
Miguel was born and raised in Nazareth, a Tikuna community of the Amazon, 26 years ago. He is now a student of physical education in Bogotá and is about to achieve his greatest goal: to become a professional. He defines his participation in the film as a new experience in his life, this time from the field of art and corporal expression, which reinforced his thinking and showed him how to see life from different perspectives. He believes this film should be shared not only with the people of the locations, but all across the country, with all the indigenous peoples in Leticia and the Amazon, with the leaders, in schools and universities. Miguel is the voice of many Manducas, a voice that, far away from the so-called civilization, claims for a more civilized attitude towards Colombia’s indigenous communities.

The vintage Colombian years

The vintage Colombian years

From my prospective I saw Colombian cannabis available in the USA from about early 1976 up until as late as 1991. This is a recollection of my first encounter and the last, there was tons in between but these two stand out.

I had really great Colombian cannabis for the first time early spring in 1976 while living with my mum in NE Texas. My mother had two very dear friends and over the years I knew them as my aunt and uncle. Aunt Sharon and Uncle Bob and the two sons they had, Mike who was adopted (spoiled) and Tim who was Uncle Bob’s son from his ex-wife (another strange story). Mike was a year older than Tom and I and I grew up with them as my cousins. Uncle Bob was/is a self-made millionaire and had the work ethic of a German. He had a big ranch style house on a huge chunk of land complete with a full sized guest house and stable on acers of prime pasture land. My mum and step dad and I would spend holidays and long weekends there. My folks and Aunt Sharon and uncle Bob were power drinkers and that left us boys with a lot of unsupervised time. We got drunk several times and smoked a lot of $10 Mexican lids together while the old folks were getting their drink on. I didn’t know very much about weed at this point but we read high times and I knew there was much better stuff around than what we got. Tim (Uncle Bob’s blood son) had another older brother that lived with his mom in NYC Bill. Bill came down to visit his dad right before Easter 76, driving from New York. Bill was great, I really looked up to him as he had a very good job, a cool as shit Camaro and lived the life style I dreamed of. Right away Bill took Mike and Tim and I on a ride in his muscle car, Mike sitting shot gun and Tim and I in back. Just out of the mile long driveway I smell it, sweet high quality NYC redbud Colombian. It took forever for them to pass the pin joint back to us but finally got a good lung exploding hit. Only got two good hits before it was roached but it was enough to send me flying high. The sun was out and spring was in the air as we raced around what was to be the new DFW airport. Led Zeppelin playing loud along with ice cold Heinekens made for one of the best mornings of my life. We came back to my uncle’s house to find the folks getting an early start on the holiday drinking no one the wiser to how high we were. Been looking for that weed ever since.

The last time was late 91 when I was living with wife #3 in NE Georgia and I had a bunch of crazy redneck friends. One evening this guy I barely knew came over to my house saying he was in desperate need of cash. He said he had 19 pounds of weed (he didn’t say what kind) that he would sell me for 2000 bucks. I didn’t have that kind of money and said couldn’t do it, but dude pressed on asking what could I do. It was Friday and I just got paid, so I said about $400 thinking he would not want that much. But he said 10 pound for the four bills. Everything was so rushed, like his wife was sitting in his truck with the engine running so I didn’t really even ask him about the smoke until he was leaving. He said it had been buried since the early eighties and had some mold, then dude was gone and I started cutting open bricks. Nasty dry molded shit on the outside but inside the bricks was nice seedy brown Colombian. Out of 10 pounds maybe 1.5 was savable but it was good. The taste not too bad but the effect was glorious and surprisingly potent. I didn’t sell a bud of it and it lasted me well over 8 months.

After that I never saw imported Colombian cannabis in the USA, of course I had it here in Colombia since. I always thought Colombian was the standard by which all others are set and I still do.

Great posts!

Richard Evans Schultes was the first writer I found that sounded like he knew what he was talking about. You could tell that R.C.C. was as much as a smoker as a researcher, and his writings were a blessing to find. From Richard's introduction to "Cannabis Botany", I often wondered what were the conclusions that R.E.S did not agree with. I always thought it might have been the hours of light/dark that R.C.C. thought were most conducive to THC production.

Red Rider - Because of your experiences with most of the major Colombian strains, I always thought you were experiencing them in the early 70s. I thought the best Colombian strains were easily available in the early 70s, but then the commercial and lower quality Colombian started flooding the market in the mid 70s. In the late 70s, I got the Colombian Red which was excellent, but much less cerebral. I think we were getting Punto Rojo and Colombian Black in the early 70s, and it was competing with Jamaican Ganja. The Gold came around later, and it was competing with Thai Stick. This was followed by the Red, grossly speaking. By the time the Red was available, we were getting Californian grown sativa strains that were better, if cerebral strains are your thing. I guess my connections were not as good as I thought, since I would have loved to get the earliest strains me and my friends "discovered" for a longer period of time.

I love reliving this history. I wish I could actually time travel, and then come back with fresh experiences, and fresh seeds!

I found a friend who wants to go to Colombia with me. Just waiting for your finca and first big crop.

I am sure you’re right about the Colombian in the early seventies and I can recall older folks talking about it. However I turned 10 years old in 72 and although not exactly sure of the date but I was like 12 or 13 when I started smoking. But I could only get really poor quality Mexican for the first year or so, I only had one or two friends that smoked and we really didn’t know any better. Now I remember the first nasty brickweed we had as being the worst cannabis ever but back then it was ok, it was just weed. Very common for us back then to buy a lid and smoke the whole thing in one setting. Big fat strawberry flavored paper joints that would explode with seeds and burn the throat with a slight buzz. As I got older I connected with better weed even though it was during the decline of quality coming out of Colombia.

During the time I had the buried Colombian (91-92), I had a few younger friends that would come to my house to get smoked out. And I would tell them tales of the fine Colombian from days past. They loved smoking and listening and I loved telling the stories as we spent countless weekends burning the rare lumbo. It’s funny because I still love telling stories to kids (not weed related) and to my adult English students, it’s a wonderful thing to build an experience in someone mind with words.

Positive calm thoughts about the finca is all I can offer at this time but my confidence is high.

Love the stories red rider and great post Madjag...I'll have to find that movie.

Summer of '75 was when I got the good redbud and then it was gone in a flash.
 
Give me "creeper Mexican " every time can,t wait till tropical weed can be imported from the tropics even if President Trump puts a high import tax on the stuff I have grown and smoked hundreds of strains of " homegrown " it does not compare with Mexican .

Not to stomp on red riders thread but comparisons are a subjective thing. The old Mexicans were extremely good (the Oaxacans, Michoacans, golds from Guerrero, etc). They were unique as were the better Colombians of those days.

Mexican VS Colombian

Mexican VS Colombian

Columbian did not compare with Oaxacan or Michoacan or sinaloan weed

In the mid to late seventies I lived part of the time in DFW Texas and the other part of the time in WPB Florida so my experience is limited to those two areas. Also I try to be quite clear that I am referring to my personal perspective not the law of GOD. I had a few good Mexicans on a couple occasions, hell I'd even say I had some of the best when I lived in Texas. However I personally didn't think it was as potent or long lasting as the finer Colombians of the time. Most of the first Mexican i had like I said was bulk brick that sold for $10 a lid, it was nothing like the specialty Mexican I had later. Also Colombian was/is my personal preference and I'm sure we all have preferences. I remember Thai weed being more potent than the Colombian but I still preferred the lumbo.
I got a few Mexicans growing right now....they blend well with the locals.

Speaking of Mexicans...


Red sure had high praise for Mextiza. Given the cred that Red has with me, I decided it was time to do a search, and I was lucky enough to find what I wanted:

Mextiza

Mextiza

Mextiza is my all time favorite CBG strain. It grows the best and fast with a nose that takes you right to heaven. The effect is also incredible, however this is daytime smoke cause it will keep you up at night. Very creative, up, happy high that comes down clean and neat. So happy you have them because I know you will love her.
