True Origins of strains and misconceptions.....

Hola, @GoatCanna

Jamaican LB has been my grail since I smoked some at my cousin’s wedding.
They owned a moving company in Westchester NY and employed Jamaicans. They treated their employees so well that they were given a multi-gram joint smuggled back from Jamaica as their wedding present. My cousin could only a couple puffs so she put it out and gave it to me.
I smoked it with my other cousin.
We got the happiest high ive ever been. Like i was my highest/enlightened self for several hours. I was cracking jokes and feeling like everything in life was Perfect.

So I did a shit ton of research the past umpteen years.
The original line grown on the island was brought over from southern west Africa, namely Angolese. This was also spread through the rest of Caribbean, Central America, and NE South America.

Skunk made it to the Island in the early/mid 80s.
Thats when the elders started holding tightly the sativa Jamaican, allowing the Skunk to become the export.
Fast-forward to the first hightimes cup in jamaica and Jamaican Pineapple Skunk won the Cup. White Buffalo Seeds got the cut and bred with it.
I grew out JPS x Willie Nelson and bred it to Snowhigh’s High Voltage. Amazing, really. But not LB. However, very much more Irie than the common Skunk going around.

We at OG can better track down what you were smoking if you can describe the appearance and smells of the bud. In the commercial export game, name means nothing as hundreds of different lines have been given the name LB since Peter Tosh got the authentic lime from the elders.

I did get the authentic Peter Tosh line last year, but lost it in the fire that burned down my home.
True LB is 20+ week flowering. Same as what JGL reproed and is posted above by Mithridate

If anyone has the Peter Tosh LB, it will take priority in my breeding/preservation projects.
