not to worry because anyone you buy from will let you know their's is the best!
My experience with oils in JA have been that they are not very good. Nasty stuff really.
true but pert near narcotic.
I started a cannabis data company in the states, cannabis benchmarks (see cannabisbenchmarks.com) - we publish a weekly report on the wholesale price of cannabis in legal markets. So I follow the market very closely. Even in the states, a lot of the strain names are not actually validated - if Blue Dream is popular, suddenly everyone says they are growing Blue Dream. Indoor typically sells at a premium to greenhouse, although that is changing because people like the idea of "sungrown", and outdoor is quite a bit cheaper. While the THC content of cannabis is often higher (22% t0 27%), I still think the the old landrace strains like Panama Red, Columbian Gold, LambsBread (THC around 18%) had a better high -- more cannininoids and terpenes. They were primarily sativas, which as Capt noted took longer to mature. Unfortunately, lower quality indica for export took over the general market in Jamaica and we got a lot of that cheap Jamaican weed in the States. As the legal international markets develop, and we begin to see legal import/export, eventually more higher quality production will becoming from tropical countries like Jamaica. Already the largest Canadian producer, Canopy Growth, is partnering with one of the Jamaican licensee to bring more advanced genetics and growing techniques. In the last few years a number of Jamaicans have become more sophisticated growers with better strains - so the quality will continue to improve. I found one very good producer who has a small food shop roadside (near Alfreds) but I don't want to name him and bring on any heat. He also makes some mighty fine hash!
Yep, legendary.
When I was younger, I remember, chocolate thaistick and Hawaiian. I wish I could find stuff like that again. These days the best I can find here in NY is Hydro, and that stuff kicks my ass
Ah yea, back in the mid 70s,Columbian Gold.
I thought it was Acapulco Gold. Was Columbia know for good weed? I thought it was just coke.
Yes, Colombia was/is known for high quality landrace sativa. Punta Roja was/is one, and I can't recall the other popular strain (Colombian Gold?) from back in the day. It isn't really exported now, so much tougher to find. Especially since FARC and other revolutionary and militia groups control the countryside.
edit: just read Treasure BeachBum's comment above about Colombian Gold. I need to slow down and read before posting.
