So i was an avid smoker as a teen in the mid 70’s. It was brown and always packed with seeds, and compressed like it wasnt grown in the US, but shipped

What was it do you think, we called it all Columbian :0)

I do remember my brother getting some weed that was Gold in color, $35 an ounce......just once.
ThaiStick was hit and miss, but hash (blond/black) was also around.

I dont remember seeing green weed with red hairs til late
70’s/80’s

Born in 1970, I remember running for the tray in the bedroom under the bed. It was full of seeds and brown bud. Never remember seeing green bud on the tray. I was a fat kid because of the contact high. When your sitting in the middle of hippie circle smoke out session at that age you get the munchies pretty quick.

Hahahahaha um, bought through dealers, we never grew

Actually since you want to be so negative , ill answer it still but not get into your drama :)


= what I meant was the reason why in the 70’s-90’s (before homegrown wasn’t , aka medical cannabis in the states in Cali came in in late 90’s) the growers in many regions grew outdoors. Than they quick dried it upside down or misc ways and that’s why it became that color cause of the temps of the region ( quickly/high temps fucks the temps, plus light )


= Light, how you handle it,humidity and how long it’s dried shows in the end result

There was a major change in the northeast around 1973-4. Prices doubled when the weed went from brown to red/blonde ($20 oz became 40, $175 lb became 350). Potency was higher, tight buds smelled sweeter but still plenty of seeds. Since that was when coke started showing up, i’m guessing the new pot shipped from south america instead of mexican truckloads.

Yup remember that brown Columbian well. Also remember the first red hair that came around without seeds (well maybe one or 2) and from then on never looked back at the compressed brown buds with seeds. When the BC bud started hitting the market it took it up another notch and I would say we have just become connoisseurs since then.

Just recently got a bunch of purple haze and colombian gold seeds from my 72 year old friend who's kept them since the 60's/70's. Surprised they actually popped being that old, can't wait to see the end product.

I meant no disrepect, or drama.

Lets start over :0). This is about wondering what we were smoking back in the 70’s. I would buy weed with money i earned delivering newspapers, i had the afternoon route. It was a great job, and i could buy weed, usually through my older bro, he’s no longer with us, we lost him to major depression, that SOB was the coolest guy ! He got me
Laid for the first time too Lmao.

Please accept my apologies, join back in with a story if u would like, peace !
