I can't swear to it, because my memory is definitely not what it used to be, but I'm pretty sure Vic was talking about a blueberry he got from SAG, that he strongly suggested was treated with colchicine by DJ.

This most assuredly was not HLV, at least in my imnsho.
Bet that it has been coming through in seeds
The first marijuana seeds I seen (60s central canada) came not from weed but from a block of hash. The seeds were viable as well.Interesting thread, and i think the reasons why have been well explored -
Basically time and space and access to the seeds of diverse imported genetics.
In the UK, i started smoking in the late 80's and it was hash, if you were lucky it was slate from Morocco or Red seal from Afghanistan.. and increasingly 'soapbar' from Spain which started off quite good but the quality dropped over the years. (you could find bits of plastic in the bars from when it had been unwrapped from it's original form and melted down/adulterated)
but the main things was that it was all hash and no weed with seeds. Eventually we got some African 'bush' type weed.. but the first time i had Thai or anything else exotic was when i visited Amsterdam.
In the USA it sounds like there was a lot of imported Weed, with seeds, from various and diverse exotic places. In addition to that there are vast open spaces with a climate favorable for cultivation (not the case in Northern Europe, certainly not UK )
and America taking the lead on medicinal use and legalisation means that a whole scene could develop out in the open... with proper investment and promotion.
Cannabis is a natural outcrosser, it is wind pollinated and wants to hybridise..(desire for inbreeding is purely a human construct and not so healthy for the plant) So when there were varieties from around the world able to hybridize for the first time it was inevitable that new, more potent/aromatic varieties would emerge and become popular.
Some of this is down to the skill of breeders and some is down to luck/numbers. Let's not forget that the (probably) most successful clone and breeding strain from the last 20 years is Chem D which was simply accidental bagseed.

Happy New Year BrotherBecause common people is shit eater
Worth a mention, im thankful that The Seed Bank - Sensi kept some stock safe till Regan etc... left office.Because Europeans are hacks and steal from others.
Just joking.
