More weed now? or in the 1960's

Do you think weed is more popular in preasnt times or in the late 60's/early 70's

...please post reply...

 

now definitely... and the weed is a shit load better, too..

 

I dont happen to be old enough to be from the 60s but i dont know if that is entirely true. alot of the grass around today is just dirt unless u wanna pay upwards of 40-50 an 8th. at least in florida that is

 

i think its always been about the same look at back in the 20's with all the jazz muscians use to smoke in the 50's deadniks and i dont think weed is better either i just think its more excepted in todays culture because now everyone who grew up in the 60's are now adults and they use to smoke its not like back in the 60's where there parents thought weed was evil or back in the 20's when they thought only blacks and mexican smoked weed(not being racesest but they used to use mexicans as a reason to ban weed)bascily now smoking is excepted more by non smokers even they dont smoke they think weed is evil or as evil(i have run into some realy dumb people on this subject)

 

weed is better now than it was in the 60s... it tis fact... even the schwag is better than it was back than...

 

More plentiful, more potent, just as soulful an experience...?????????? Maybe to some. It's quickly becoming like another plastic toy maybe. I d/k.

 

Weed is only better nowdays when comparing street bags. Back when, a bag of commercial mex consisted of males, and female (buds and leaves) plants.
The same bag today would be female buds only.
But bud for bud, it was close.

And specialty weed WAS all buds and WAS as good or BETTER than the best weed coming out of the seed banks.

But the 70's was the hey day for weed- quality and quanity.

A couple of us would split a joint of Santa Marta Gold before school and still have a buzz when the 3 o'clock bell rang. Weed nowdays doesn't have that kind of staying power.

As for quanity- I've seen 50,000+ TONS in one place in Miami back in the late 70's and early 80's, many times, and I doubt there's anyone in the US or europe holding that kind of quanity these days.

 

we used to h ave this person we called the drug lady give us drug education at somepoint in school and you'd go to her and talk to her about all the drugs you wanted to... she taught me a lot about sh rooms and e... she told me weed is much more potent nowndays than it was back in the 60's and 70's.

 

Well if you're talking about just your average homegrown schwag, no it hasn't changed in a few millenia, it's still the same plant. More advanced growing techiniques, you betcha.

 

All those advanced growing techniques, and still, no one can beat a thai stick, circa 1977!

Mui,
I'm afraid the drug lady wasn't as credible as you thought.

 

No, she was right... weed is more potent now than in the 70's... why would we be talking about schwag only... the nug of today is so much better than anything hippies would have smoked

 

Drug lady just knew what the hell she was talking about whether she knew it or not. Reason being is that advances in studies of aero have produced a variety of tangents. Get ma drift . When we can take something and scope it 1000000x and observe respiration firsthand it suddenly becomes a whole new ball game. Trust me man. There were hippy scientists wishing they had this tech at that time and it would blow their fuggin mind!

 

You're wrong. And I'm not talking swag.

The stuff today is no better, if as good, as many types of weed that were available back when.

Your drug lady must of had lousy connections!

I was there- and here.

Only the very best today compares (compares- not supasses) with some acolpulco gold, or thai stick, or top flight jamaican, or micohocan, or santa marta gold, or senegelese thunderfuck, or "black african" (not really black), or vietnamese. Or many others NATURAL sub-species.

And yes, I've smoked most of the designer buds out there- and grown more than my share, too.

Weed today is generic and has little character; ever trip off weed?
Not today, that's for sure.

 

geckopelli is true... well for the most part... there is no real difference in potentcy of marijuana now than back in the 60s and 70s... its just propaganda that trys to tell people that marijuana is more powerful(harmful by government standards) now than it was back then... there has been research done... and the last time i saw the facts there was less than a 1% difference in THC levels of marijuana from the 60/70's and today... but i believe there is waaaaay more marijuana now than back then.... more people grow it.. mexico still pounds it across the line.... and now canada brings alot of marijuana to the us... so definately more marijuana now than back then

 

new extremely potent hybrid strains havent even existed for the past 10 years

 

yeah i know a guy who has been smoking for 30 plus years and he says that weed is the same as it use to be in the 70's there are probly more strands now and more ways of growing it but over all its not that much better take the type bud with the most THC in it its still not insanly high havent ever seen anyone trip balls off weed

 

I have a few times... one of my friends claims he hallucinated off of it once

 

err i dont think you know what tripping balls means hallucinate is shit comparted to triping balls is like level 4 salvia.people have hullcainated off weed but nothing insane well more like mistaking some thing for something else weeds not that intence

 

I d/k about 'trippng balls' off of weed but yeah I've smoked some that was utterly mindblowing in it's effects. One of the runners up to the cup and the dude has been growing for almost 40 years. Thing is he said that his was getting better after lots of experimentation and some advances in growing techniques, biology lab supplies, etc... Thing is, as a generality, no most weed's not more potent, even higher grades, but there are strains out there that are. Just not easy to get or find because those cats are pretty guarded with their shit and generally don't offer it up for 're-sale'. Odds are too they don't have some catchy name, prob just like strain#261 or something.

That hype a little while back from the gov about it being like some crazy % more in THC actually proved bunk anyway, and it was just another propaganda technique to scare the idiot public into believing the 'Marijuana Menace' bs again.

 

I kinda think its more now, more people usaully means more weed.

I have heard haggard stories of local hippies going all the way to the florida/alabama line just to get an ounce.

The price of weed hasnt changed either has it? Like a dime back then was still 10 bucks? I have never asked that.
