Jesus, so that's why we still call it weed today

Was catchier than Dried Pubes

hmm mine seem to catch all over the place

I started smoking weed in '70, and the main difference I can tell between late 70s and now is that back then sinsemilla was just a part of the market, with a lot of packages containing seeds and more leaf and stem (amount varied with price). Today it's all sinsemilla (so much so that the term isn't even used anymore). The quality is pretty much the same. We had thai sticks and Hawaiian that certainly equaled top shelf strains of today (as far as anyone could tell - there wasn't much precision on reporting THC levels). I'm happy with the situation, but I stopped smoking between about '83 and 2009 (job), and wasn't amazed by any changes in potency; just the fact that it's all sinsemilla. I did feel silly when I first got back in the market and asked a seller whether or not his product was sinsemilla and he didn't know wtf I was talking about. I quickly found out that was a stupid question... :>)

I remember references to what I thought was the "sense" now I get that was sinsimilla :) Thanks

Yep, that's what it was called. Just Spanish for "without seed". Speaking of Spanish, if we could find Oaxacan sinse we considered ourselves lucky, because it was just about as good as Thai but cheaper. Availability (in my part of Texas) wasn't reliable at all though. Now, it's like going to the weed supermarket. We're living in the future in that sense. Life is good and getting better...

LMAO

Started smoking back in the 80s red leb ,black.good shit joints or hot knives they rocked.

Yeah bro the stuff with the cloth attached to it, red leb think there was gold leb too it was lovenly stuff. Early 90s.

And green leb. Amazing days. Wasn’t the strongest, but tasted amazing.

We also used to get straws filled with green oil. Either spread some on a rizla or just chase the dragon with it. God knows what it’s done to my lungs.

I was there from 1972-ish, it was mostly pretty good in the Uk depending who you knew, or what grew ;) Avoiding the street ofc.

Most of the pictured weed was grown outdoors on a hillside without fertilisers, boosters and the other shit habitually used today.

I partook in the some of the countries of origin at the time too, thank you Magic Bus. I preferred hash at the time and still do, real Temple Balls were trippy, Leb was a knockout and the black in the Dam was unbelievable and so on. Impossible to get around here, so pleased to have found LB at last!

How did people live with that? With the way weed has gone it's a different world and are kids will think the same as are weed lol

Let's hope there's a little weed in their shunt/ brain interface

Vaguely remember smoking some stuff looking similar to that here in the UK circa late 90s.

Meh I’d still smoke it. I bet all of these would get you high as a motherfucker. Because you wouldn’t be used to them at all.

If i got any of that in the post I'd probably raise a dispute. Though I did buy thai stick and brick pack in the 90's. Wouldn't mind seeing a picture of the hash scene back then. All the hash bars look the same now. Just with a different picture under the cellophane. Picture looks like it came off someone's home printer. No finesse to hash bars these days.

1970s cannabis dispute settlement, there's a prompt

Cannabis has came a long way

I saw a lot of weed in '77, but the only pics here that look like what I saw are the Thai sticks. Weed didn't look like the compact nuggets we see today, but it never looked that raggedy that I remember, and I started smoking it in '70.

first 'grass' I ever smoked looked like Acapulco Gold number 5, first proper weed I got fucked from was like the Thai in number 10

Proper Gold Seal hash. In Amsterdam. Back then. 1991, 2

When Orange Bud was ridiculous, and there was no hope, ever, of getting that shit at home.

Generic “skunk” for £40 on the eighth round my way.

Cheaper to go ‘Dam. Post shit back. And have a nice little holiday.

Nah. Hash. Pop up De Pijp. Buy 10 2 euro dvds.

You might want to watch them. But it’s mainly shite horror. Early Cronenberg if you were lucky. Nikita. That sort of thing.

Then pack them with as much hash as you can. Pop them in an envelope. And post them. Just go for a nice walk. 10 parcels. 10 different post boxes.

Oz of very nice hash, in the UK. Thankyou very much.

But we had Budmonkey back then. Shit like that. Hermes. 2005 ish. You know. That shit.

Can’t even remember how it was done.

Like people thinking this shit is new. 😄

No. Genuinely

😃

we used to get the ferry over from harwich, £35 for a 24 hour return. Sometimes we'd get a coach there and back because they never got searched, would stash hash around the coach and collect it once through customs.

There was a DVD shop we used to go to, open them up and plaster hash all over the inside and post them home. always landed

Colombian Gold for me, and Thai Sticks. Late 80’s goodness. 😂

Blimey! I’m glad to have been born in the 80s.

Beautiful bit of chaff
