I will agree with this.

However, in all fairness, I am not sure it is possible to compare the landraces I smoked in the 70's to the hybrids of the 90's to the strains of today. I have different knowledge and experience today than I did then. Also kind of judging on memory, and human memory has been proven to be quite faulty.

I remember once around '76 getting some 'Gold' that was sooo good. I decided to buy a bit and hopefully sell some and get some for free. Started out ok but then people started bringing it back and demanding their money back! WTF? The problem - they got too damn high and didn't like it. Thought maybe it was treated or something. Scared me a bit. I knew a scientist who said to send it to this lab and have it checked for insecticide, chemicals, etc. The report came back. Nothing but marijuana. To this day people still say that was the strongest pot they ever smoked. Even though they brought it back!

Would that pot seem that good today with the experience and knowledge of today? Compared to today's 26% THC strains? How do I compare things 50 years apart on only memory and old stories?

While I ponder this question I will take a hit of this Jack Herer Racing Fuel Plant and soon forget what the question was! :)

yeah man, I remember the Colombian Gold and Acapulco Gold from the 70's. It was much different without the couchlock. Mr. Nice brings back those good old days.

Hello BB!

I thought of you when I saw Mazar I sharif in the catalog. How did it grow for you? Didn't you send some seeds from Massachusetts to Neville?

Hello slabsofdank!

To me/u,s it seemed like the Gold's of the 70's gave you the most wonderful high. We always felt so a part of the universe and sooo happy! 😜 Maybe because when we weren't smoking Gold it was mexican brickweed or columbian dirtweed? haha
I would love to see how it would stack up against today's strains? Can't go by my memory. I don't even remember the name of the girl I met last night and she just left this morning! ;) Remember 40+ years ago? fuggedaboutit!

I ran into a lot of different Gold's in the 70's and most were really excellent. While Acapulco Gold certainly became the most well known, even legendary, I didn't think it was the best Gold, even at that time. What do you think?

"Mr. Nice brings back those good old days."

I have never grown any Mr. Nice. Still new to the site, I joined to get some Mr. Nice Seeds! :) I find this comment quite intriguing! I wanna grow some Mr. Nice! Can't wait til next year! Shhhh, don't let the girls on the deck hear that! ;)

Hey brah!

Not riding as much as I used to these days. My old road bike is a Trek 5500 carbon tricked out in Dura-Ace. My mountain bike is a ti bike I built out with XTR components. My fav mountain bike is a Chromoly Ibis Mojo in color Pond Scum, the last one built by Scot Nicol in that color before he sold the company. I have since turned it into a town cruiser. I also built that out in XTR. I used to wrench for my crew some years ago.

Talk about welds, Scot was a master bike builder!

I remember seeing welds like that for the first time almost exactly the same day you posted. Been meaning to answer for 3-4 years now haha The town I moved to had a bike store and I needed a brake part. The store was in a big building and I hadn't been in a bike store in 11 years so I was pretty jacked. Turned out there were many stores in that building and the bike store was the smallest I'd ever been in. I was sad. :( There were maybe 10 bikes. Then something caught my eye. WTF!

The 'tires' were just pictures of tires on flat cardboard!!! No tires. Not even handlebars or seats. Just bike frames! I saw the cheapest frame was $1,000. Just a frame! Turned out the main thing in the store was a small room with a mounted bike frame and some laser camera's that measured you. From there they got or built you a frame exactly for you. Your weight was also considered. The most expensive frame they had in stock was $7,200. A nice set of wheels(no tubes or tires) was $2,500. $10,000 and still no seat, tires, pedals, brakes, gears, handlebars, etc. You'd sit there and they would slowly build a bike around you. Putting on seats, handlebars, keep swapping til you got exactly what you loved. The perfect bike for you. It's called Savile Road - The Tailored Bicycle.

Here I was with my Trek 6000 I had bought used, for $60, 11 years earlier. I needed a pair of $6 brake pads. The guy was nice and he liked the welds on my bike. Then we got to talking about some welding on my race car. Then he showed me some welding on one of the bikes. I think it was titanium. You couldn't even see a weld, like yours. I was pretty impressed.

After a while I realized I didn't care for not seeing the weld. I liked seeing good welding. The whole 'stack of dimes' thing on good TIG welding.
