So what is the Holy Grail of weed these days?
Road Kill Skunk? Seems that EVERYONE is looking for it. Lost in time? I have not smelled anything like it in decades.
Original Haze? Just a mid to late 1970s Colombian bag weed cross ~at best~ in my book, but claims of it keep resurfacing. Colombian gold was great stuff for cheap. Very seedy tho.
Northern Lights? Originally bred by "The Indian" on an island west of Seattle. But the breeder remains unknown. It surfaces around these parts now and then. Potent as all fuck.
Big Sur Holy Weed? Originally 2nd gen+ Zacatecas Purple. Name coined by Jerry Kamstra. Dubious strains arise with tall tales of IBL breeding for 50+ years now. Very potent purple.
Alaska ThunderFuck? Also dubious tales and statements that Matanuska ThunderFuck was the real ThunderFuck. Aging hippies say it is extinct, lost in fire. Never had any.
Kona Gold? From the Big Island, then called Hawaii, it made a big splash and was the best hash I ever smoked. Said to be from Colombian parents, but it blooms and finishes way earlier.
Kerala Ganja? By far the most potent weed I ever smoked. Brain freezing weed. Pinners of this in 1975 locked people up for hours. Legendary in its time. Crossed with indica now?
Jamaican Lamb's Bread/Breath? Bob Marley weed. Like Big Sur Holy and ATF, hard to know of anything near the original is still around any more. But smoke two and then smoke two more...
African Black Magic? It was just called "African". THE weed of choice for the rich in NorCal in the 1970s. Absolutely potent as all fuck. Unknown origin. Nigeria, Congo or Tanzania?
Thai stick? The skinny Thai sticks in the early to mid 1970s. Not the fat dipped in hash oil ones that came later. An absolutely superb sativa high. Stomped out by the Thai gov't.
Indiana Bubblegum? Said to be a deliberate cross, but insiders tell me that it was just a single chance find in a grow of many. It made its way to New York and then elsewhere.
Rooibaard? The legendary Red Beard of South Africa. Said to be the far better ancestor of Durban Poison. Said also to now be extinct in South Africa.
I will leave the list at that...
