Ya ... the thought intrigues me , but reality seems like it'd be a lot of waste before or if ever finding something worthy

Hi

Do you think it is still possible to get any old sativa heirloom from Mexican shwag or brick weed? Or now they are only Kush and indica hybrids only?

I have read this in other site. It is from some years ago.

Good old, imported 'Mexican Trip Weed' I haven't seen for years....
#14726468 - 07/06/11 10:56 PM (6 years, 3 months ago)

Just found a source, the same old mexican 'trip weed' that we used to get in the sixties. I'm assuming because of it's prevalence now, and when I was a teenager in the early '70's, that it is a local grow somewhere in a border state, probably Chihuahua, in Mexico. It is characterized by a sweet, odd smell--a very distinct smell, which hasn't escaped me even after 35 years--and a high that is a dank, very trippy psychedelic high with a lot of visuals, a deep, ego-loss type of headspace, and little anxiety. That is, it is a very low-anxiety sativa type stone. It's cheaper than the mis-directed Kush and Chronic from the MMJ clinics, and not only that, it probably is a better high.

I'm please to be getting re-acquainted with an old friend...:awesomenod:

The few plants I've grown out, from brick weed, showed mostly WLD hybrid types.

I suppose if one were to go through enough seed, from the right bricks, something desirable may pop up eventually.

ahortator · Oct 23, 2017

Oh! That's a pity! Some decades ago Mexican weed were mostly NLD! But now it seems they have vanished! :frown:

Beardedgrower · Oct 24, 2017

Most of the schwag I get is fluffy so I assume that there are still NLD varieties grown in Mexico.

Something like this? :biggrin:

Also you can infer if they are still NLD bu the type and quality of the high.

Beardedgrower · Oct 24, 2017

No the buds I get aren't that wispy, but the high is light and makes you laugh.

Quite a bit of the Mexican brick weed put out a high and had a potency to it that could easily swing with stuff today, at least that is my take comparing what I got during the 90s in a brick vs. After 2000 when it became hard to find bricks and beasters showed up as the new cheap weed. Bricks are still around in the ghetto as far as I know, last picked one up in 2013 or 14, but I don't think there was any sort of good genetic potential in them and they produced hybrid or indica highs.

Pretty stoked, got a line on some mystery seeds that a buddy is saving that he found in an old bag of brick that he stashed at his parents place as a kid. I love a mystery and have been trying to come up with some sort of personal variety that gets me the high i like.

Loved them and relied upon them for many years.
I recall them from 72 forward in the brownsville area.
I was recall having heard back then it was being run through the mexican oil industry.
Recently I read that a fellow by the dulles had far more "paperclip" personal than he could get into the country, and that one of his choice locations to 'stash' them was the oil industry.
The are acolytes of dulles believe there are no coincidences.
I know I loved the product .

CosmicCharlie · Oct 24, 2017

Last brick seeds I grew turned out some decent plants. You can see the picks in my albums.

They were mostly Sativa hybrids that tasted like Cantaloupe and had up highs.

BOMBAYCAT · Oct 24, 2017

Back in the day we used to get real good Mexican Sativa. Indica was just starting to make its appearance. All I ever saw was pounds of good Sativa in a plastic garbage bag (no bricks).

I live almost as far from Mexico as you can and still be in the US. By the time it got up here the good stuff had long gone to smoke. If it ever was good. Only saw it a few times and not since 1995 or 96.
The last time I saw some, my friend met a guy at the Greyhound station. (always smart to buy pot from people you meet at Greyhound stations-and those are the kinds of places you'd find brick back then)
It looked like an elephant sat on it and was loaded full of huge seeds. It had these huge flowers in it, no idea what the hell they were. Bigger then any cannabis flowers I've seen they were at least 10 cm or more. Didn't save any of those seeds.
Since he got ripped off my friend got to show me a trick to rip off friends to make your money back and spread the (lack of) love on down the line. If you steam brick weed it will turn kind of green and if you remove the visible seeds people who look at it in the dark backseat of a car might mistake it for green bud.
Can't say I miss the schwag..

Buying a crappy bag of overpriced schwag in the dark backseat of a car... memories.

I remember those days, and the person would always try to say it was that skunk or it was northern lights or Durban poison or Jamaican to try and make it seem better than the brick weed the other guys were selling even though it was all the same.

Now if had a sweeter smell and seemed stickier then your best bet was to just walk away. That meant they sprayed honey or some other sugary liquid on it to make it more sticky and lighten the color. But these were always easy to figure out since they would always call it “Cali bud” and yet only ask a little more than the regular brick making the rounds.

Alot of the old time Mexican cartel pot farmers arent even growing cannabis anymore. Since American domestic cultivation and relaxed laws have taken hold....there isnt a whole lot of money (at least like it used to be) in it for the Mexicans anymore. They are growing opium poppies as far az the eye can see though. What used to be towering Mexican cannabis plantations are now covered in opium poppies.
