I'll chime in here since I have some experience in this matter. I used to smoke weed from the late 60s to the late 80s. Back then it was mostly all from Mexico/Central America and mostly started out as bricks. Quite a variety actually with different names and varieties grown from different places. We always looked forward to see what the next batch would be like.....flavor/high differences. Weed from those times was Sativa and I imagine the Indica started coming in later. Anyway during the 20+ years I smoked it everyday, it was always plenty good enough for me (in fact I was actually quite fond of it). Back then the actual smoking of the weed was just as important as the high for the social aspect of it. Weed then started out at $10 for a "lid" which is an ounce. Yeah those were the days. Fire up a joint to pass around between a few, finish and light another one and another as the day/night went on, having a good old time. That's how it went, you could smoke many joints over a day or evening. We just called it Mexican weed. Now it's called dirt weed when the weed here started getting to oxycontin strength. Mexican dirt weed is now looked down upon by a lot of modern potheads. I quit smoking weed for over 20 years and then decided I might like to catch a buzz every now and then in my old age, a la Willie Nelson. Tried the weed out now and it was so strong I couldn't hang with smoking it anymore. The high I was getting back then (Mexican weed) was nothing like the high I got off this super shit. I use to get a mellow high, laugh a lot, trip out on lot of shit and be happy. This weed now didn't give me any of those things. All it did was blow the top of my head off, turn me into a zombie, and all I could think about was how long do I have to wait before it wears off. With weaker weed like the Mexican weed you can smoke much more of it so it's easier to dial in your high to get it right where you want it. With the modern weed, the difference between just 3 hits are, 1 (damn) 2 (oh shit), 3 (fuck me I wanna go home), I need those nice slow baby jumps and have a lot of them in between. For the modern stoner, stronger seems to be always better but for me it doesn't work out that way with my body. So yeah, I'd love to get my hands on some Mexican weed so could smoke weed like I did in the old days. During those twenty+ years I took off from smoking weed, weed just passed me by big time. Not any semblance to how it used to be. I used to be an old hippie pot smoker from the past who prided myself as being able to smoke as much or more dope as the next guy. Now I'm just an old Marijuana Wuss. Willie Nelson would be ashamed of me I'm sure. My old days of venturing into the black market are long gone so I'll probably never be able to pick up any unless I got lucky and bumped into a guy who knows a guy kind of thing. Unfortunately for me that's about the only way I'm going to be able smoke weed again. I've tried to venture in a few times to the new but the result is always the same. I wuss out every time. Frankly I don't know how you stoners do it. You think it's easy to be a wuss? Only my wife can call me that and get away with it.
