Marijuana Man (Late 1960s/Early 1970s Short Film)

Lots of amazing footage of old plants growing, and enough absurd stoner stupidity to make me want to put the bong in a closet somewhere :rofl:. I guess it’s a testament to how strong the old landraces/imports were:

What happened to the Fabulous Furry Freak Bros movie?
Anybody know if it got made or finished?
I was looking forward to that like a decade ago:/

I remember hearing about that too and they made a cartoon for 2 seasons with Woody Harrelson a few years back, so that may have usurped the movie

It’s sometimes hard to tell if they had better weed back then or were just bigger attention whores

And yet the latter can’t be true :thinking:

Define better… I doubt it was as strong as today’s weed. I prefer less potent weed. This new stuff I rarely finish a joint.

I find the older stuff more potent 100% and it’s why I spend so many weeks in flower for a lot of the stuff I dig :smile:. Potency in terms of unique and strong effects, whether they’re trippy, spiritual, intellectual, hilarious, euphoric or whatever, you can find unique effects that don’t exist in most modern stuff. OGs are great and potent, just kinda one note and all the candy stuff doesn’t get me high or stoned, just bored and tired. We have way nicer flowers now than the imports when I started smoking, but I started smoking and growing for the way herb made me feel, and I don’t find much of the modern hype stuff interesting in that regard.

Haha. That was great! Thanks for posting that video. It has a strong vibe like Guy On A Buffalo crossed with Cheech and Chong!
Man, I love old hippie shit :joy:

that shit was sativa, and, IMO, the cultivars have long since been hybridized out. they no longer exist.

I’ve smoked so much dispo weed, 200+ different phenos since legalization. I also smoked a kilos of weed in the 1960s thru the 1990s. I can tell you unequivocally that the weed was 10x better then than it is now. fyi, i’m not a grower. but the dispo, as most OG members will attest, is bunk. i attribute that mostly to over hybridization and crossing out the old, heirloom landrace cultivars.

exactamundo. i’m 76 and i know, having tried 1960s smoke and 2020s smoke. the old is the better, now watered down to a beauty look, great smell, mid range, mundane, generic high, and unbelievably HARSH flavor.

Maybe you need to practice more. Deep knee bends and such. :slight_smile:

But yeah, I’m completely the opposite of you. I prefer being blasted into another dimension. \m/

I’m excited. We just put down some 1970s beans in agar. I’ve tried a couple of pure things from back in the day and it blew my mind. It’s rare but it’s around in my opinion. This video was awesome haha

Important to note that not only the pot, but the people were also very different. Diet, exercise, social habits … notably no internet!

Yeah. I remember back in the 90s it was good weed but I still don’t think it was as potent as today. Or at-least what we were getting.

Also, you can’t base a 30 year old memory of how good weed was back then vs now unless you can smoke them side by side and if that was the case it would still be popular today, those strains would be mass produced because everyone wants the better weed right? but not many people are out there growing mexican brick weed nowadays.

Not once I have heard someone say lets create low grade hybrid weed from the best weed ever from the 60s-80s.
