Honestly i believe if we compare potency, todays cannabis isnt way more potent, but the amount of chronic being grown now outweighs the the buds of the 80-90's. I honestly cant even find low quality anymore, everyones been exposed to real flowers by now, Highschool kids dont even puff on mids and beasters, like i grew up with.
But with all these strains being accesible, alot of the heirloom strains, and older cuts like the pine bud dissapeared, i miss that strain so much, i guarantee it will pop up again, make its rounds, not like the terpene profile is impossible to find, just until someone finds it again. Ive got some piney stinkers in Kosher Kush, not like the sweet Balsalm fir stand, christmas wreath terps, but definetly related
