Old School Skunk, who's found it???

[ChocoKush]

My theory stands- and a lot of stories on here from when young back this up.

View attachment 4392889

I feel you are right! as a lot of stuff back then was basic (no fruity or whatever flavors there is now, yes i know once in while you would find this but on with the point) and i don't care who you are but behind every flavor weed there is unless it trash and has no smell all have the skunky smell behind it, therefore every strain is skunky to a point!!!

RKS is in any strain that is Loud SKUNKY Smells, its just some are stronger then other and if its not strong then its not it, out of all forums i have read about RKS what i am saying is what is happening as if i'm wrong then out of 1,000's of people then wouldn't it be here.. lmao they can bring up old school stuff like panama from 70's, colombia from the 70's, catpiss from the 90's, Durban Poison, etc but no RKS... therefore wouldn't you think RKS is nothing cause it seem it is, cause out of all the stuff there isn't away to label this is RKS as like i said it fall back to what i'm saying in every strain there is has a skunky loud or light smell to it. if you say im wrong then why is weed associated with skunk to everyday people/cops etc... duh lol

RKS own its own is BS i believe, yeah these genetics (Afghanistan x Mexico x Colombia) or whatever genetics can be RKS but i have read where people have found RKS like stuff in other landraces/strain on its own. but then again i maybe wrong but if its this rare whoever truly has it is no hot shit person as if it was true then it would be here with the other old classic stuff like i said above!

You also see Master Thai ("Uncle Fester Skunk #1" Which is a Bullshitter from what i have read) and The Nature Farms (With MasterThai Uncle Fester Skunk #1 ) one minute you see people saying ohhh ohhhh this is it and the other you see this is BS and not it but from truly what research i have read you find the most skunk out of Afghan region of the world, no need for mexican or whatever else there is added in, yes you will find fruity there but lots of skunk comes out of them strains! so i would be hunting there is it was me!! but i wouldn't wrap myself around this myth or a legend of a strain anymore if i was you all as i got on this hype train few months back and found the truth for myself as to where to find the loud skunky smell at.. so enjoy the hunt in the in the afghan/paki/whatever else is around these parts to find landraces at! lol

Would enjoy reading whatever else people wanna add to this and say, this is just my own two cents if im wrong im wrong if im not im not but at end of the day some of my points add up to be true so oh well. lol

Please no hate as this post isn't mean't to be

The only conspiracy theory I will accept as possible is that skunk was a very good weed grown gorilla near a skunk family that sprayed on it or near hence the skunk smell. Good way to keep intruders away would be to plant by a skunk den.

You got to be kidding right?

Skunk smellin weed been here, right here, for decades and some was named for a county real close by. Never heard it referred to as simply Skunk but “Skunky Weed”. Or “Blank County Skunk “. It was called that because it smelled that way, not because of any known lineage.

Nope of course same as if you grow a strain beside a blueberry bush the strain will taste/smell like blueberries.

I remember years ago someone telling me this once and I believed it I thought the buds would turn blue and all type of shit xD

The odor of skunk spray is primarily caused by thiols... I'm sure in the abundance of strains out there, at least one produce(d) some thiols which can be bred in order to produce more which would result in a true skunky odor. Granted, different combinations of terpenes, such as Mercaptan, β-Mercaptoethanol, and Mercaptoacetic Acid, would most likely produce a pretty pungent skunk smell. It's just having a breeder which has the ability to analyze the buds analytically in order to determine what terps are in the parent stock and then selectively breeding from there. And even if the old RKS is a myth, im sure someone with enough resources could make a true RKS utilizing this method.

Well if sombody found this "rks" is there anyway it could live up to the hype that surrounds the idea of it today??
Cuts do get passed around fairly quick theeze days but who would be the person to decide; hey this is the RoadKill?
I believe the real thing is out there...
That is a good point made tho... Maybe its just a fairy tail... The Bigfoot of cannabis? Lol
I know if I find bigfoot in the middle of the woods and he smokes a dube of the RoadKill with me 99% of you will say " I believe you about Bigfoot but that was no rks"
My rks is the sourd... I cant figure out if the stuff I used to get was realy as good as I think it was? Or was it just my first love? Cause ive been searching for that same expierience for years and am never satisfied with the "sours" I find nowadays...
Sorry to rant on and get off topic just thot id add my two cents!!
"Hits bong**CHEERs!"

You guys must be really young. You missed one of the best strains ever. Especially loved that skunk grown indoors it looks so unbelievable. And stunk so bad. Sorry about your guys luck. Hopefully it will make a comeback and you will get your chance.

Ive often thought the same thing and agree with you. I remember an old school lemon kush (not sure what the actual name was or if it was even a kush, it just smelled and tasted like one), it was my very first smoke and it was absolutely amazing. Smelled like lemon zest, but tasted like a fresh kush with a tad of lemon and gave me one of the giggliest best feeling high's ive ever had. I've looked for that strain for about a decade and have even attempted to breed my own to mimic it, but the bud always falls short... I think this is what is happening with a lot of the old heads; the memory is better than the reality. When they were all young and their pallet/endocannabinoid system was "fresh", the RKS that they tried was absolutely out of this world and got them stoned for hours upon hours. Now, after years of smoking, there isn't even a way to come close to agonizing those receptor sites compared to "fresh" ones. Perhaps someone has an old seed lying around or even has a cut growing, but due to the myth surrounding this strain, they believe its not the actual RKS. Honestly, im unsure.

I think that it's a niche market which truly want that old school pungent, foul-smelling, offensive skunk odor. With weed becoming more mainstream, new smokers seem more inclined to the fruity, berry, and citrus smelling strains rather than the assault to the senses strains; at least in my market. But with that being said, IF they somehow discovered or resurrected the old RKS, I would 100% get a cut or some beans. Oddly enough, after trying the fruity, sweet, berry, and citrus smelling/tasting strains, I have developed a pallet for the cheese's as well as musky strains. Not sure why, but they seem to get me higher and have a longer-lasting effect.

Totally agree... Musky skunky old lady perfume cheese.... Yummy....

Little skunky eye candy for ya...

Nope of course same as if you grow a strain beside a blueberry bush the strain will taste/smell like blueberries.

Blue like this

All i know was if you had that Official RKS Super skunk back in the late 80's earlier 90's in Mass you wouldn't even be guessing if it at one time ever Existed ! Every One in the neighborhood knew you had that shit in your pocket or if you smoked it forget about their wasn't enough Old spice , Brut, or Stetson in your fathers bottle to cover that shit up ! Remember both sides of this argument are right we did't have all this fancy Genetic's testing company's back then. Just had the Oh shit smell's like dude been sucking on a Dead Skunks Asshole !

Totally agree with you. There’s no mistaking it at all plain and simple. Shit was bomb!

 

[casperd]

what are some really stinky strains that you can get from major seed banks everybody knows rks is gone and i hope it comes back

Another flaw in the whole RKS thing is that in the 80s weed was like 10% thc potency. So kinda lines up w my theory as well- everyone was younger and not exposed to the potent cannabis of today. So if they got some extra stinky more potent bud they would think it was the stinkiest and most potent ever. But in reality it wasnt anything soecial at all.

Got a point there and some very famous strains named for their place of origin in the 60s and 70s was less than that.
I also believe there is far more to the high than THC and some of those early cultivars were truly awesome in effect.
It seems reasonable also that as we use cannabis being high is much more familiar and our brains cope with it’s effects.
I also wonder if seeded bud is somehow different in highs produced. This thought keeps coming back.
