Sativa, Indica, Ruderalis - Is it all BS?

They did the same gag in good luck Chuck but with a better looking girl. I guess that was to make up for the piece of shit movie. The only bright spots in that whole thing were Dan Fogler’s schtick and Jessica Alba in penguin panties. Actually, Jessica alba in pretty much anything improves the movie. LOL

I've been on a Total Recall kick, it's gonna get weird.

Now I have heard the term Punta Rojo in the past. I think I now remember reading somewhere a while back that the Columbian red stuff might’ve been growing a little closer to the ocean so it had characteristics similar to its central American cousins like panama red.

This is what I've been told for many years. In the 70's Colombia was growing at least four different cultivars... "Mango Biche", "Punto Rojo", and two others I don't remember now, but none of these were intially called "Golden". Till this day, Mango Biche and Punto Rojo remain our most known cultivars. Punto Rojo is charactized by red or purple pistils, it's said to be from a different region in Colombia than the others. It has very thin leaves and extremely fluffy buds.
During the 70's (and still today) these four cultivars were grown in several parts of the country, but the crops that were sent to the US were mostly grown in a place in Colombia called "Santa Marta", which is a city facing the caribean sea near "Sierra Nevada" and contains several micro-climates. From this place another cultivar eventually emerged and was called here "Santa Marta Gold", but it appears it was just those 4 initial strains but with stems being stripped which caused the golden effect.
So, it's said around here that the term Colombian/Santa Marta Gold was given by foreigners to refer to Colombian cannabis that came from Santa Marta, but that Golden variety was actually one of those 4 cultivars... all them grouped under the same name by north Americans.
Now a days, some Colombian growers have what they claim is Santa Marta Golden, which many others think is a mixture of 4 strains naturally breeding in Santa Marta throughout these 50 years.

There's another variable too. Some people can eat hundreds (if not thousands) of milligrams of THC and it does NOTHING to them. Give me 100 mg candy bar and I'm sleeping on your couch. Although.... I do recall sitting in a hotel room at CannaCon in Seattle with a few people from here where we stuck vials of 300 mg oil into our beers and chugging them before hitting the expo floor lol....

Won't name any names. But I'll tag those assholes @briman @FullDuplex @wwwillie

:smiley1: Right? My wife can't smoke cannabis, it makes her nauseated, yet she loves to eat the brownies or cookies she makes for us.


300mg would put me on the floor or ground, whatever is underneath me at the time.
Do you recall the rest of that day or evening?

Well for us, these classifications are all but meaningless. 90% of the, cultivars is actually the correct term not strains, are hybrids with varying degrees of genetic blends. Even most landraces have been manipulated by humans at some point in history. Very few pure strains of either exist. I'm happy leaving things as they are. At this point it seems to me that the scientific community is more worried about who gets credit for what.

Oh snap Pops!

Oh ho ho ho, I got some stories for YOU friend lol.

Let's hear some I'd love to hear dispensary stories, hehe

No problem getting there, it was the getting home that was a trip. Across a floating bridge to Seattle, then on the freeway. I remember looking at the speedometer and I was doing 40mph on the freeway and thought I was flying.
Same exact thing happened to me in SC Cali, and got pulled over at night going 35 on the highway. He asked me if I had been drinking and I said no. He let me go.

First concert I ever went to and got high was 1975, Cadillac Michigan. When KISS came to our little Northern Michigan town and played for our Homecoming in the gym, road a float in the Homecoming Parade, spent two days at our high school. It made national news at the time as media from around the world came to report on it after our losing football team decided to play KISS records in the locker room before games and became state champions. The entire town heard the concert that night from their yards.

The second concert was Rush later that Winter in an ice arena and probably only 200 people showed up. We were kicked back smoking joints of Mexican the entire show passing them around to the crowd.

Only 200 peeps to see Rush!?! Bet that was an awesome concert!

Detroit/Windsor radio is responsible for the success of not only a number of their own homeboys like Bob Seger and such, but also bands like Rush and Kiss. Rush got there American recording contract with mercury in part because the Detroit rock radio station had been playing Working Man and it was a big local hit. It’s weird to think about those great live albums like kiss alive and Bob Seger’s live record being recorded ( to some degree) Before a packed house in Cobo Arena. I don’t know if Kiss could even gotten arrested at that time in their hometown of New York City. Hell, the New York dolls couldn’t even find great success in New York and they were the leaders of the movement. I remember Seger saying that he played before 12,000 people the night they recorded that record and then two days later he was playing a club with an audience at 400 in Chicago. And that’s there after he’s been around for 10 years.

I thought it occurred in Traverse City Michigan at the Glacier Dome ice arena, November 19th, 1975. I wasn't driving, got a call at home from a girl, I was 17 at the time and she asked me to go right then, my parents said go which was odd. Bought tickets at the door with no line. Stage set in the center of the arena on the ice. It was freezing inside. Rush was on tour at the time playing small venues and a bunch of ice arenas. But they were also doing two shows on consecutive days in some towns in big arenas. Caress of Steel tour. https://www.rush.com/tour/caress-of-steel/

The girl is a professor at an Indiana University now, well published, I believe a child psychology Phd. Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. She was my dealer in high school.

Bob Seger used to play at a bowling alley in the Northern Michigan county I live in now. He owns a house in a small village up here and it would be in the local village paper just a few years ago about him showing up to the local area baseball games involving local village teams playing.

Roll Me Away...12 hours out of Mackinac City. His place is up by Mackinac City or was. I have never seen him though.
