BD too, right on bro. For those who are not familiar with the significance of all that this is from the time when the back to the land folk in the PNW were learning how to grow sinsemilla. At the same time Thai imports were fetching 18 when previously all cannabis fetched 1-3. This all had an accumulative affect of changing cannabis forever. And fast forward here we are today now.

Can you imagine someone coming up to you and saying " I got this new kind of weed the guy called it sensi-something I don't know, something Spanish. And dude you won't believe it! The buds are bigger more potent and guess what NO SEEDS AT ALL! But the stuffs expensive though 300 a kilo."

Before the internet, High Times was the only bud porn you could get!

:thank you: Back than I used to wait to buy HT every month at the 7-11 or some newsstand because I was afraid to have it sent to my house foe fear of my parents finding a copy or so. Times sure have changed but the quality of the herb I'm sorry to say has slipped down quite a bit. Just remember those beautiful colored sativas of the past, they seem to have slipped away from us.

Domestic Marijuana - 1992

Domestic Marijuana - 1992

Fabulous book for its time. Scholarly, yet intimate when you read the long, very personal interviews with growers from the hill country in the southeastern states and other American backwoods palces. The illustrations are worth the book....mostly graphs like the 1990 fifteen states with the most marijuana cultivation eradications.

Smuggler's Song

Smuggler's Song

From Jerry Kamstra's crazy book Weed.

For those of you who do not know the story, Jerry went to Mexico to look up smuggler friends and other sources in order to photograph the weed growing business in Mexico. He was paid $5,000 by Life magazine to do so, however he ended up having to buy the field before the growers would let him photograph it.

Rather than leave it behind he arranged to have it smuggled back to California by boat....all funded by Life magazine.

A very impressive collection you have Madjag! I am thinking that The Primo Plant was one of the very first cannabis specific books I read. I still remember barney's green tequila or some such from the last few pages.

I have an extensive Sinsemilla Tips collection, and will scan/photo some of that to add to this wonderfully nostalgic thread - thank you kindly 4Seasons, for taking us back amigo. -T

Amazing thread. Glad I found this one and thankful for everyone that has posted the information and photos. I wasn't around yet for the majority of the stuff on here but have a great deal of respect for all those that paved the way for myself and others.

I hope it's OK to post in this thread a few Madjag photos from my archives. I usually post in the "Old School Arizona" thread. Most of these photos are scattered here and there so I'll consolidate them here.

This article is from High Times magazine somewhere around 1979-1980. It was in the "R"'s Annual Connoisseur Awards article of that issue.

Madjag is #5 in the photo:
