This could be an interesting thread.
I'd be interested to know more about the domestic stuff around in America during the '60/70's. I know the farming and gardening scene was happening there, and that growers were developing the new strains together and didn't just exist in isolation. I used to get hold of High Times magazine occasionally and was amazed at what was going on, the scenes across the Atlantic were so different to anything I saw in europe where we mostly existed on Morrocan and Red Lebanese as a staple with a fairly easy supply chain. And of course the black hashes but usually a bit scarcer and the weed apart from Jamaican about the same, in my world anyway
. I guess in the US in older times it was all over the place waiting to be domesticated, hemp itself being a major cash crop in it's day.
Anyway back to High Times http://hightimes.com/tags/november_2012 which is still an OK read. For younger readers, HT Mag was/is a quite well produced and quality cannabis orientated glossy mag, if you like that kind of thing
I scored a few times in America back in the old seadog days and I remember in Fort Lauderdale about 1973 I got hold of a few lids
(and thats what they called the 1 oz bags) of grass which came from Tennessee. I met up with some students from the Oceanographic Research Institute and the guys brother back home was the man . A respectable smoke I'm sure.Anybody got any recall on this period or could recommend some reading other than HT I'll be straight down the (electronic) book shop.
