Thought some people might find this of interest. I laughed out loud at ‘sinsemilla’ as it’s been a minute since anyone used that one. Also, apparently Thai stick was hard to come by. Also this disproves the ‘drastic increase in THC’. 2-3x.
The use of ditchweed as an official category is a good one.
Frankly the low potency of average flower is clearly due to it all being seeded, and the people who got ‘sinsemilla’ got decent stuff. Unfortunately no terp profiles but you can assume most was badly cured.
I’d for sure say that whatever was confiscated was probably mostly from large scale operations while quality stuff was kept in tight circles due to limited quantity.
If anyone wants to test some Thai varieties. I have a source for authentic genetics from Thailand. I currently have red Thai and mango Thai flowers that I would donate for a Coa. Also would love to see more advanced analytical methods used.
That’s because the great majority before the 90’s were Sativas. All the classics, the Thai and all the rest. Even the early sinsemilla days it was mostly Sativas. Finally other seeds became more readily available and grown. Until then, it was all landrace harvested hodge podge in huge fields with people trudging all over it and full of bugs so it looked scruffy. But it’s what was inside that made them special. I still prefer those days to now.
