there are ~some~ who suggest that the reduction of “acid rain” through EPA measures during the late 80’s was responsible for killing the skunk stench on weed.
i dunno how valid that is, but its been up for debate for quite some time.
not sure when people started bringing their ganj gardens inside en masse but the timelines are pretty close.
I’ve had lots of skunky weed going back to the early 1990s, nothing that smelled like a dead skunk, only skunk spray and sometimes a little pine, mint or eucalyptus. I never heard “Roadkill” used until the last few years. Here are some photos of a bag of Skunk from the 1990s that I smelled from across the room when I met my buddy in a pizza place to pick it up. It was alarming and very illegal at the time, so we were actually kinda upset about and paranoid I recall. Leafy and slender buds that compressed easy, not dense. The other thing I remember about this bag is that the buds were greasy leaving smears/clouding on the bag, they were sticky and oily which I don’t find much in herb the last few years.
Pics or it didn’t happen:
Boneyard seed co Mr Toads Backpack has that greasyness you speak of.It doesn’t matter how dry it is its almost impossible to shake any Dry sift from those buds.Has you cleaning your hands with ISO after breaking up a joint.So hard to find weed like that in a dispo have to grow it yourself these days
damn, those pictures bring back a flood of memories. I forgot that people used to barely trim weed but the look and description is what we used to get in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was so oily that it would barely burn in a joint at times.
Idk man… I had some bud from the 90s that I swear was the skunk… like THE SKUNK… It was undeniably a pungent skunk smell… just like a skunk sprayed the room. Almost too strong… I’ve never seen anything like it since… I know it’s out there. Somewhere…
Very potent very skunky
people tell me i smell like a skunk all the time, a month ago this guy was positive he smelled a skunk when i walked in. i was holding Champagne Showers which to my estimation is like a Tropicanna Coookies hybrid crossed with (The Zoap x Project 4516) whatever tf that is. guy smokes, is around bud a lot, but not “one of us”. im not old enough to call it a witch hunt but i stopped smelling “skunk” right about when i started smoking kushes and then all i smelt was “kush”.
Correctomundo on the no return for washes.Would greasy be more in fashion now persay with the commercial availability of good Heated plates to the public now?One would think that it would press those oils out well Savvy?
