50 Year old Mary Jane

An old friend of my parent's Graduated high school in 1964. His high school welding shop build a massive time capsule and every senior that year was asked to put something in it. In 50 years they would open it and share the memories with their grandchildren.
Well this old ass hippy for years has been talking about this big old mason jar with a rubber seal filled full of massive joints, and seeds wrapped up in an old raggedy pair of jeans since I was a little kid. MY dad always said he was full of shit, and that the story has changed over the years. I kinda believe the story though I guess maybe out of hope.

My parents don't really like him when he randomly drops by their house but they toleration it. I on the other hand kind of like the toothless old man, and his stories would cheer up a dead man. I recently asked him when they were gonna open that time capsule and his eyes light up like the fourth of July and said this year.
So on May 12th I get to watch this crazy old bastard pull a jar of 50 year old weed out and laugh his ass off. I plan on video taping the whole thing. He promised me 6 joints and half the seeds if I promised to bury half of what he gives me plus replacements from my personal reserve for another 50 years. I fear he is a bit too late and my son will have to open it for me because I will surely be dead. But it makes me smile that this old man for the majority of his life has had a jar full of joints burred on school property. He did unfortunately tell my parents who said "We are disappointed that at your age you still have not grown up and quit smoking pot. And how I am setting bad examples for my children."

So anyone wanna guess now how they are gonna taste, smoke, or how the high will be? Anyone else ever get the chance to smoke antique weed?
I am so damn excited it makes me smile ear to ear. Even if I am a grown ass man getting scolded by his mother. haha :joint:

Great advise Vostok.!

Dude, Danger you are so damned lucky.. I would do anything to be there... The oldest weed I ever smoked was around 10yo it was from some old time grower up in the cali foothills.. It was SweetTooth and it was fantastic.. I got beens from him and grew my own but was only able to hang onto it for about two years.. It was way better aged than fresh that much I remember. I can't say the same about all strains tho..
Lmao if it's 50yo it's probably some shwagadelic boo..! Haha
Just to say I did tho I would happily puff away with you... Be seeing you sometime after May for that cool vid..

So if they were stored right could the seeds be viable? Could I have a long lost strain? I'm so damn excited it's crazy.

I've read that you can save em for years in the freezer..Not really sure down there.If the humidity was low and the temps low as well...Well....it MIGHT..

Yea man if stored right and you said its in a jar in a capsule intended to preserve. I'm guessing the seeds are all good.

Sounds amazing, how lucky you are to be able to experience decades old cured smoke. Hope the seeds are viable, that would make for some elderly school buds. Make sure you breed with them so you can spread the love :-)

WHY?
The psychoactive parts degenerate with age and the strength of the 1960's weeds was already much lower than the stuff we have now.
So lucky to smoke weed that was weak, is now extremely weak and will probably taste like powdered shit.
And 1964 is a bit early for the hippy movement.
There were some but they were underground and not blatantly refusing to accept societies conventions on marijuana - for that reason I'd agree with your Dad, it's probably bullshit.

God I hope not, but I see where you are coming from. It would have been very early. Shit the beetles were top of the charts then.

Seems like if there were a time capsule with items from other people, then they would have told someone who would have told someone else, and so on leading to it getting dug up and stolen. Especially with a huge jar of weed in it. If it's still there, I doubt the seeds will be viable and the smoke will be garf. Even if it was airtight the chances of them seeds being any good are practically none. That's if this thing even exists. A high school sponsored time capsule with a "huge" jar of weed in it sounds like a tall tale. I've heard the time capsule with weed story more than once and it was always that, a story.

I hope not for his sake, even if it is just a story it always put a smile on my face. And I know the time capsule exists, and they are going to open it. Here's to hoping it's the real deal! Even if it is crap weed I would smoke it. Lol

I would say the seeds are viable. It is in a cool, dark sealed container. There is no reason that the seeds would be bad unless some moisture invaded the jar. I think they will be just fine, if they are there that is. Crazier shit has happened.

The weed we usually had in the late '60s in Los Angeles was pretty crappy Mexican brick. Once in awhile we'd score some nicer stuff from the Bay Area, but no one would waste the good stuff on a time capsule. Age won't improve that shitty Mexbrick

I want to be excited for you. I hope it works. But I would keep my expectations in check.

I'll bet Betty White was a hottie 50 years ago..... Now? Not so much.

Let us know. Even some of the brick back then was mighty fine genes.

Lol people clowning on you. Tell you what tho, I bet even if you took them old seeds from maybe a long lost favorite with today's new grow methods and Nute madness I'm sure it would be good enough to say the least..

I can't wait to here your smoke report and see your journal as you grow out them seeds...:shock:
