I was in the Air Force in the 70's at a SAC base and our plane crews brought back real Thai Stick from Thailand and Hawaiin , a close friend of mine would bring back the real panama Red and Acapulco Gold , the colors and the buzz were unbelievable and I am glad I was able to experience them
Same here. USMC in 73 stationed in Oceanside Cal. Drag raced in Carlsbad and puffed a bit. MAN, the weed was wonderful. I grow AG currently and will be Panama Red and Maui Wowie. Given the seed strain is likely not good old school. But still! Life should be lived on a higher level.
This man's story is like my story.Grew up smoking some fine land race buds . Early 70s was a good time to experience life and what nature had to offer us
Yep. Even us living near a major Big-10 school in the 1970’s and early 80s were able to get real-deal Thai stick (tightly wrapped around an 8”, thin dowel, super dark and SO sticky, actual opium which tasted like grape Bubble Yum (and gave you definite spatial hallucinations) 1/4lb, fist-sized chunks of Red Lebanese hash, and all the glorious sativas coming from Columbia, Mexico, and one of my favorites-Santa Marta Gold. Laughing all day, throwing frisbees and listening to our big Boom Boxes. I remember smoking the first pure Indica-which was strange-looking to us: much more pale green, circular and not super-hard nugs and it WAS DIFFERENT. It knocked us off our feet. I wasn’t a big fan. Made me paranoid and unable to operate among the “non-tokers!” 😂 Fun times to roll some bones and head to a Boston or Zappa concert (for about 6.50 per ticket) ❤️😵💫🤘🏼
The effects of those old strains were for lack of a better term magical and I don't care what the THC content was it was the psychoactive effect that it had. Mild hallucinations with extreme Euphoria as well as Daydream sessions. Then there was the laughing and incredible Munchies that you got. Back then the vision that cannabis gave was different and hopefully he has preserved it, we can only hope.
I agree!! I’m a believer that terpenes are driver, and thc is the vehicle. Extremely frosty bud with no taste or smell gets me nowhere 🤷🏽♂️ I’m a 90’s baby, but my dad who’s from the 50s swears the stuff today doesn’t do him the same way..
That's mostly nostalgia and tolerance talking in my opinion. You're never getting the magic back from when you first used weed or any other drug. In terms of brain chemistry, but also just because the environment and people changed.
@@Mussi93 naaa I think it’s something to do with us over-praising thc alone. Terpenes, flavonoids, and other cannabinoids have so much to do with the overall effect. Even shit from the medical grows doesn’t smell or taste as good because they are having to turn it over too fast, and can’t properly dry and cure the product 🤷🏽♂️ A lot of it also I think was they were getting more pure Sativa’s. Now everything is hybridized, and it’s hard to tell much apart anymore. Sativas typically give you the uplifted euphoric feeling, and most people are indica people it seems. I am born in the same year as you I’m assuming 😅 but even remembering strains like green crack, and blue dream the highs are not as intense as those. All speculation on my end, but I would kindly disagree with your point.
Amen , new stuff is one dimensional, I remember in the 90’s bud would literally give you a mild trip and legs would get heavy it really grabbed ya and most importantly tasted amazing the whole way thru the joint not just the first hit
Good point on blending bud for a given taste/effect, as to trying to mutate the strain. We don't mutate basil to get it to taste a little like oregano...we simply cook with both herbs:-)
Growing up my friends father always told me about Colombian gold being the craziest shit he’s ever smoked. For the record he is a heavy cannabis user. He said it looked gold and brown. It didn’t look good at all. After smoking it he had to kneel down and put his head on the floor lol. The high lasted at least two hours. He blazes all the best cannabis today and still says nothing compares.
I’d have to agree with your friends father. I actually preferred Red Bud Columbian over the gold, but either is superior to today’s product. After a few hits on a Red Bud joint, you would think someone with lipstick was toking with you. Another few hits and the joint would start bleeding dark red resin onto your lips. Then it hits you.......OMG what a high
you know what… the landracea are still unbeatable. the newbie champions have earned there place and we always love gaining knowledge and future ability… but what are those ancient techniques that are lost… that lead to stories like the wax of today is just catching up with the old wild landrace strains that were “special”. the buds were stronger than the rosin of today. ppl have a hard time with that concept. yet… those same ppl have never heard of pertendo bud. I suppose history will always endure damage along the way. Long live wisdom. Long live truth… long live cannabis… and long live the old timers… they are the best of us. thank you masters… very enjoyable stuff.💨
This has become my absolute favorite cannabis culture channel. You guys do a great job without stoner lore but good fun. Love that y’all don’t take yourselves too seriously!
The other day I was just talking to my lady about how we’ve lost these strains from the past. I was wrong and I’m thrilled. Super juiced to see a secret legend who preserved these and I’m glad he has found a medicine to cope. I could only wish and pray to come across one of those seeds but at peace knowing they’re in the hands of someone keeping them safe and hopefully passing them down to the chosen ones. Thank you Neils and thank you Derek thank all in part of this cannabis culture keepers
There's been alot of talk about lost strains, I've never believed that.Its an excuse to continue all the breeding. There are seed banks that have landrace seeds. Seed Cellar in Michigan has some.I bet the countries where they grow are probably still using descendants of the original seed.Colombia is almost legal I expect they will export their legendary product.
@@randypokora8987 true landrace is gone forever simply because it has been undesirable. True landrace is full open pollination which does the opposite as selective breeding by opening the diversity of traits within the population which brings about very very undesirable traits. Today's "landraces" are products of selective breeding but are considered landrace I guess because they're grown with 0 input and irrigation to their native soil in their native regions. So it really depends what you mean by landrace. The old school select bred landraces have for sure taken hits through war and prohibition. As the market has changed as well. Landraces on the market now are surely to be hybridized these days and even if they claim not how would you tell? For example Acapulco gold has been "resurrected" but the breeders took an old female cut to a Thai male which was very distinct and simply selected the male and female with AG traits and worked em in. That's a hybrid to me still cuz the cultivar may match but we still don't know the chemovar variations. 🤷
Man I would love to have some of those old strains.They would be amazing to grow out.Almost every strain talked about is what my dad has been looking for for the last 30 + years
Im a breeder as well, I was fortunate to get my hands on some of the true originals, like 1976 peace corps panama red bud. And quite a bit more, I absoultly love the Landrace lines, and breed with them always and they are well worth a 14 to 16 week plus.. floweing cycle indoor even haha
i got seeds from the original 2004 cannabis cup amnesia haze winner which took me 5 years to get them but man i would really love to grow these OG strains just because the cannabis of today simply is to strong for me, the amnesia has a perfect ratio.
Your theory on how the flowers turned to gold was dead on ! I grew some in Watts valley on early May 1994, watered when first in the ground and a week later. Went back on late September, and gather a garbage bag full of dried golden flowers.
Just to add to your method, i had some pure African Ciskei that i harvested dead ripe-but still green. I put it into one of those big garden waste bags and left it closed for about 3 days and then left it open for a day. i repeated this until it was dry enough to put into jars. This seemed to ferment the chlorophyll right out of the bud and everything was a beautiful golden hue. The flavor was smooth and exotic. I wouldn't try this with an Indica or hybrid due to mold concerns.
Man, I love this show. I love your guest. You're so great too I just love everything about it. These are the people who made it happen and I love it. I'm an old school guy myself too. And I smoked all Thai sick and all Hawaiian and also, but I never had the chance to do what this gentleman did. I'm just starting to get into growing now as I'm getting older but I'll tell you why every chance I get. I watch your show thumbs up and subscribe.
One of the wonderful things about our hobby/passion is that we all get our very own rabbit hole to go down. So nice to see your guest follow his love and maybe obsession to their own personal conclusions. Dry cleaning tubes and keychain pipes come from a life of questing and problem solving. Three cheers.
redbeard, maui wowie, acapulco gold, tie-stick, panama red those were the old time power strains i remember. there may have been a few more, but those are the first few i think of lol here's to the old days
Wow! Preserving all those Landrace strains is such a feat! Much gratitude! I assumed those genetics were diluted and lost... Skunk 1, Durban Posion...MMHMM... They be HITTIN different
Please do this interview again love hearing the history of the sativas alcopuco gold was the first plant I grew when I was 14-15 years old it was 6’4 wider then my wingspan and was the MOST stickiest weed I touched 100% sativa .
Whatta great episode....And a big High Five to You and Neils for saving those plants ..I know every homegrower who watches this show ..smiles widley when..Neils pulled that plant from his side..🙏🙏🙏👊👊👊🤘🤘🤘✌😎
Big up yourself Derek this is an awesome show. As Soma would say you are a great cannabis spirit 🙏 I'm so happy to see that there's people like you and others out there that have this kind of passion for cannabis - living in the UK where everyone smokes with tobacco and people think you're a weirdo for smoking without tobacco it's easy to forget sometimes that there's actually people who appreciate cannabis properly out there 💚
What an honor it would be to sit down and have a smoke session with neils and his different real strains of cannabis, i like the new weed it works but i was fortunate to have a brother that married a Jamaican woman when i was a teenager in the early 80s and he would bring back in hollowed out shoes about a quarter pound of weed he completely cleaned and compacted, it was brownish weed he would get from her family in the mountains that they had been growing for many years, and ive seen the pictures of him actually in the pot fields himself picking plants, i can tell you the pot didn't look that great but the total body stone is something i haven't experienced since that time, unfortunately it became to risky to bring it back so that all ended by the 90s!
I am 38 but my parents were both avid dead heads and my dad was a marijuana grower and scientist. I started growing and smoking with him around 14 years old, which may offend some of you, but it is what it is. All my dad grew was Colombian Gold and Maui Wowie, seeds he got in SA and Hawaii himself during his time in the navy. I to this day cannot smoke hybridized marijuana because I absolutely hate indica. As popular as indica is I really hate it, it gives me panic attacks. As for drying the weed my dad would leave them on the plant and not water them. Worked like a charm.
Old video just saw it had to watch! I have the Malawi strain I haven't planted yet indoors due to the 13 weeks flowering time I read it said up to 15 weeks I thought wow lol. So I got the pure kwazulu growing for now she's really rocking taking up my scrog hope it's really good as it smells!
I smoked some Mexican with seeds I loved in the 2000's. Likley the closest I got to prue Sativa. Cheap and A top 3 strain for my Nausia/ Chronic pain wo couch lock.
Really enjoy these, personal drives into the bread and butter of peoples cannabis experiences and method's in such a quiet relaxed chilled atmosphere. True essence of cannabis connoisseur experience. Great stuff!👍🌱🌳❤😙👌💨💨💨
I miss the 70's. Those of us that were 16, 17, 20's 30's you get it, lived the best time on earth. I drag raced, fuel was cheap, a buck a bottle of Boones Farm lol. The clubs were hopping and the girls.....ahhhhh But the smoke was No joke. Great times.
Believe it or not. In my teens About 2008. I actually smoked gold bud. And it was the highest I ever been. It was a awesome psychoactive high. Never experienced anything like it since.
I just found some Acapulco gold seeds that were given to me years ago from a friend who father collected seeds from around the World. I'm cracking the 40+ beans to see how they come out, fingers crossed! I am so excited to work with a pure cultivar with an elustrusous history such as this one!!
Great video as always. And I love the discussion of passing things down & the stigmas but how it’s important to “pass on” knowledge, recipes, ect.. And love discovering the wonders of cannabis; especially being new in the sense of the word. Here’s to good health.🌱
I just stumbled across this gem of a show. I Would love to sit down and talk shop with Mr. Anderson and Mr. Gilman. Now like you two gentlemen I have several different Theories as to the golds in the Gold a.k.a Colombian gold, Acapulco gold ect. I too believe that more than likely the plants were left in the fields to Dry and/or Cure and with Altitude + UV ray effects may have had something to do with it but my other thoughts/theories I have should maybe keep for another time. I will say this if you have never smoked or even seen Colombian gold you have truly missed out.
Fantastic show! I keep hearing that cannabis is way stronger today by the pee wees in the game. They go for the smell, taste, bag appeal, weight, grow time, trimming/manicuring and all the artificials that true connaisseurs don't really care. Back in the day, you knew what high to expect by the strain and/or provenance, not by all these food name strains (gelato, sherbert, cookies...) of today or the Kush era, etc... It boils down to the effect that rarely these wannabe afficionados talk. Just like the snobbish wine societies. Anyway, most kids these days don't believe how strong the effects were in those days. Maybe there would not be any synthetic drugs if it would not have been criminalized. You had some strong trips with these herbs. I'm not even talking about the Hash here. By the way, the lids were full of seeds and twigs, it smelled like pepper and hay, the buds were airy and ugly, they were unatractive and many times they were what they call today foxtailing. Now let's see if any of you remember that effect and what strain it was: It started in 5min from the first pull by your lungs wanting to blow out of your chest, then your eyelids would become a ton of bricks heavy after 10min, your eyes turned red like an albino rabbit and 20min later you had that strobe effect that you had to sitdown because of that very very strong effect of moving with a strobe light on, after 30min the giggling would come in and the body relaxion would litteraly glue you, not couchlock, in the position you were so comfortable. The last phase was a mellow comedown after a long lasting 1h30-2h00. This was after taking only 6 tokes each of a pin joint (3 person sharing). Each session was an experience, not a high, stoned, fire or dank, a real experience. Let me know! Thanks again for this show, I am happy to see there are still true connaisseurs out there! Cheers
Back in the 70s friend of mine and I cut class went out and smoked 2 little bowls of Colombian,went back to class stoned out of my mind,big mistake. That Colombian could do a number on you.Colombian Gold still tops in every catagory.
@@randypokora8987 Well well well, we have a winner! After a year posting, this is exactly the strain I was talking about! You see kids, even after 50 years, we remember those effects, not hot fire or dank they were, the precise effect they gave us, instead of marketing food names. Anyway, thanks for your answer, it gives me hope that some day, the kids will know it's not a question of how much THC, but how good the effect is. Cheers
These sessions are the closest thing I get to being around people that appreciate this plant as much as I do
I was in the Air Force in the 70's at a SAC base and our plane crews brought back real Thai Stick from Thailand and Hawaiin , a close friend of mine would bring back the real panama Red and Acapulco Gold , the colors and the buzz were unbelievable and I am glad I was able to experience them

Red Wowie, perhaps a new hybrid? or Panama Maui? Twenty Nine Palms, '73
How did you hide the smell?
This man's story is like my story.Grew up smoking some fine land race buds . Early 70s was a good time to experience life and what nature had to offer us
We had some excellent strains back then didn't we? The guerilla growers in NorCal had strains that they kept separate from the cross bred flower.
Yep. Even us living near a major Big-10 school in the 1970’s and early 80s were able to get real-deal Thai stick (tightly wrapped around an 8”, thin dowel, super dark and SO sticky, actual opium which tasted like grape Bubble Yum (and gave you definite spatial hallucinations) 1/4lb, fist-sized chunks of Red Lebanese hash, and all the glorious sativas coming from Columbia, Mexico, and one of my favorites-Santa Marta Gold.

@@graugmastersin3190 that and the fact that nobody grows pure sativas now a days.
like the revival and use of ancient grains, ancient strains need to be preserved

Old video just saw it had to watch! I have the Malawi strain I haven't planted yet indoors due to the 13 weeks flowering time I read it said up to 15 weeks I thought wow lol. So I got the pure kwazulu growing for now she's really rocking taking up my scrog hope it's really good as it smells!
This dude is awesome
The best show to date!! Bring back the lost ones....pure sativas is the experience...would love to see some more of his 🌱
roseville , wohoo
I smoked some Mexican with seeds I loved in the 2000's. Likley the closest I got to prue Sativa. Cheap and A top 3 strain for my Nausia/ Chronic pain wo couch lock.
Man, i wish I was friends with this guy we have so much in common. Great interview, you got a new subscriber
24:50 That Clamp needs its own Show !
Love all of your videos, Thank you from Max Victor
This guy is legendary
This is the best cannabis culture channel. G
Felt like I learned more in this video then all my lifetime research.
Physicist here- I could blaze and talk all day long with Niels.
I tried Acapulco Gold for the first time this yr and i k9ved it sooo much. Too bad it was a pre roll but damn tasty and great buzz.
Really enjoy these, personal drives into the bread and butter of peoples cannabis experiences and method's in such a quiet relaxed chilled atmosphere. True essence of cannabis connoisseur experience. Great stuff!👍🌱🌳❤😙👌💨💨💨
What a fantastic episode. Thank you for preserving those pure wonderful genetics, wow what a treat 😁
Awesome video. No one grows sativas is the reason I started growing in the first place. All I grow are sativas. Love them
I miss the 70's. Those of us that were 16, 17, 20's 30's you get it, lived the best time on earth. I drag raced, fuel was cheap, a buck a bottle of Boones Farm lol. The clubs were hopping and the girls.....ahhhhh But the smoke was No joke. Great times.
Believe it or not. In my teens
About 2008. I actually smoked gold bud. And it was the highest I ever been. It was a awesome psychoactive high. Never experienced anything like it since.
Currently smoking some awesome Sativa. Nev's haze/Malawi/Mozambique cross. This fits right in.
Thank you both.
Relatively new to cannabis. I love this channel. Id love to see Mr. Niels on here again.
I just found some Acapulco gold seeds that were given to me years ago from a friend who father collected seeds from around the World. I'm cracking the 40+ beans to see how they come out, fingers crossed! I am so excited to work with a pure cultivar with an elustrusous history such as this one!!
How it went man? Did some crack?
vietblack too?
Columbian gold was my perfect smoke back in the 70s
Very cool you guys.
I could tell that was some A+ Thai! 💚
This guy and I should be friends. He is my people.
Oh yeah, a 68/69 Marine Viet Nam vet, I Wish that we in Ohio were growing some Thai ( thai stick )
Very good start to my morning Gentlemen. Thank you for sharing
I need more of this podcast
I'm also a firm believer that everyone should have there own roll! 12:50
Loving these episodes. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏼
Great video as always. And I love the discussion of passing things down & the stigmas but how it’s important to “pass on” knowledge, recipes, ect.. And love discovering the wonders of cannabis; especially being new in the sense of the word. Here’s to good health.🌱
I just stumbled across this gem of a show. I Would love to sit down and talk shop with Mr. Anderson and Mr. Gilman. Now like you two gentlemen I have several different Theories as to the golds in the Gold a.k.a Colombian gold, Acapulco gold ect. I too believe that more than likely the plants were left in the fields to Dry and/or Cure and with Altitude + UV ray effects may have had something to do with it but my other thoughts/theories I have should maybe keep for another time. I will say this if you have never smoked or even seen Colombian gold you have truly missed out.
Neil is a cool dude . 🙏
Fantastic show! I keep hearing that cannabis is way stronger today by the pee wees in the game. They go for the smell, taste, bag appeal, weight, grow time, trimming/manicuring and all the artificials that true connaisseurs don't really care. Back in the day, you knew what high to expect by the strain and/or provenance, not by all these food name strains (gelato, sherbert, cookies...) of today or the Kush era, etc... It boils down to the effect that rarely these wannabe afficionados talk. Just like the snobbish wine societies. Anyway, most kids these days don't believe how strong the effects were in those days. Maybe there would not be any synthetic drugs if it would not have been criminalized. You had some strong trips with these herbs. I'm not even talking about the Hash here. By the way, the lids were full of seeds and twigs, it smelled like pepper and hay, the buds were airy and ugly, they were unatractive and many times they were what they call today foxtailing. Now let's see if any of you remember that effect and what strain it was: It started in 5min from the first pull by your lungs wanting to blow out of your chest, then your eyelids would become a ton of bricks heavy after 10min, your eyes turned red like an albino rabbit and 20min later you had that strobe effect that you had to sitdown because of that very very strong effect of moving with a strobe light on, after 30min the giggling would come in and the body relaxion would litteraly glue you, not couchlock, in the position you were so comfortable. The last phase was a mellow comedown after a long lasting 1h30-2h00. This was after taking only 6 tokes each of a pin joint (3 person sharing). Each session was an experience, not a high, stoned, fire or dank, a real experience. Let me know! Thanks again for this show, I am happy to see there are still true connaisseurs out there! Cheers
I remember my first joint n
Back in the 70s friend of mine and I cut class went out and smoked 2 little bowls of Colombian,went back to class stoned out of my mind,big mistake.
That Colombian could do a number on you.Colombian Gold still tops in every catagory.
@@randypokora8987 Well well well, we have a winner! After a year posting, this is exactly the strain I was talking about! You see kids, even after 50 years, we remember those effects, not hot fire or dank they were, the precise effect they gave us, instead of marketing food names. Anyway, thanks for your answer, it gives me hope that some day, the kids will know it's not a question of how much THC, but how good the effect is. Cheers
This show rules!!!! Keep up the great work!!!! So interesting!!!
Bring Neilz back On !!! 😎👍👍 Im growing malawi Gold last harvest took over 16 weeks to Flower !! 🤯
