I know you guys have read this already I’m just bringing it back up again *~*

“I did once get to see a bag of this herb that belonged to someone else. It looked like rotted, black leaf, some leaves intact but crumpled, plus a powdery black shake. It had no particular odor other than sweet spicy moldy hay, and rolled best into thin pinjoints.”
DJ
“The smoke was slightly harsh, but with a very deep, rich flavor. I also recall that it produced lots of white smoke. Anyhow, this stuff was dangerous! I often questioned if it was truly pure herb. I have, however, sampled the same product from different sources at different times, all with the same story.”

“Well, just read an entire thread about it in another forum. It seems the famous "African" Black Magic imported to the US in the 70's/80's could have been some "plain" Jamaican herb that underwent some underground fermentation (this causing the buds to turn black or chocolate).”
The interesting thing about the Jamaican
I’ve had, Jamaican in Jamaica and I had some in the late 70s Chicago ( 1/4 pound a friend of mine got was just long narrow Buds no shake. The buds were the stickiest syrupiest brown dark sweet tasting pot I have ever had in my life…Completely different than the strains like Maui Wowie back then… to this day I wonder how and where it was grown and how it was cured (all these years later I wonder if it was wrapped and fermented somehow ???
I’ll never know most likely!
Oh, The high was good, but it was nothing like the red and gold Colombians & Maui wow for that matter.
So I don’t know guys, a part of me wants to believe in Bam & Part wants to say yes the strain exists, but it was cured in some strange way…?????
I smoked African in the 80s Northern Illinois University and southern Illinois university… Southern Illinois university was the source and grow area it was very potent grown in Macanda Il. in a valley and a very hilly area with streams
(high humidity high heat Long growing season).
