The Skunk we got in Seattle for $240 in the early 80s was superb. It was grown indoors as well. I rarely see weed that is grown as good now as back then. In the early 80s there were less growers, there was no internet and a lot of people just didn't know how to do it. Now the world is flooded with people doing it and I see a lot of weed that is not cut at the right time, not grown well, not cured and many times not even dry.
And Hightimes.. although it was all we really had back in the day (before the internet) it was always a rag mag with hyped up bullshit and lots of stupid stories to fill space to make publication deadlines. It is worse now. Fake bud and hash and Isomerizers that turned shit weed into fire. It use to be the source for metal halide lights for many too.
But wait.. that is not even my point.. the point is this; If the kush of yore was made by elves, grown in Afghanistan, made in a basement or from seeds at a GD concert don't matter.... Unless you got clones from the dude at the time and kept them alive all this time you don't got it. Mothers die, fathers die, people fuck up, people get busted, and any seeds that come from the original are dead and any progeny from those have reverted to their original genetic diversity.
There are a lot of fun stories out there and that is a big part of the fun, but weed changes constantly. It evolves about 10,000 times faster than mammals.
