Very much true. I'm older than most assume & people often paint the past in brighter colors and look thru rose tinted glasses. I understand what you say. My mind has changed also. But every now & then I will obtain some $30 quarter bag or dime that has the seeds & stems just out of curiosity and it will sometimes be very good...just like it was in the past. This is actually how I hunt for new things to grow sometimes.
Yeah, you know.........and of course there's genetics, and then there's how it's done. Back when tons came in, mostly from Mexico, the stuff that would make all the nickle and dime bags.......the curing was poor, it was stored poorly, probably in excessive heat, the transportation degraded it......
It's like that with music too........I'm a Grateful Dead Head (and a huge Phish head). There's a perpetual thing about "when they were better".
Love The Grateful Dead also...of course! And Phish. Going to post a music vid now that I'm in the mood...
Fish put on his own show? That's awesome, lucky you.....
Back in the 80s'90s there was this mid-grade, green, pressed into bricks.......whether it came from some huge area down south, or Mexico, it was definitely mass produced. We would get the same stuff over and over. It was post-brown seeded/stemmy stuff, and there was top tier stuff, but this was the reliable "mids"....
well, i have prooven to myselve that i dont mix anything together. I found great things, i would say, that your thoughtconstruct is a good critique, but almost missleading.
That's.......a lot to unpack....
I don't know if I mentioned it earlier but I once, and only once, got Panama Red. Got it on the Staten Island Ferry back in 1985, when the downstairs level was a thick cloud party.......before the raids hit. It didn't look particularly great, but it had a dark reddish color, and man was it potent.
