search for columbian gold
That was my fav back in the day. The strains now are better I think. More THC. Although the old gold was the bomb back then

I dont really agree that pot today is better or that it has a higher level of THC.
I would say that most pot is more resinous but that does not always equate to more THC as most people believe.
I also do not agree with the claims of THC percentages used to advertise strains today. When you think about it the numbers just do not make sense, they do not add up.
Check out the following two part video by following the links.

Something else to consider is what makes someone high or stoned and to what degree goes well beyond just THC.
For one a number of the old school sativas that were from equatorial or near equatorial areas not only had THC but also THCV and that is not found in other sativa strains or in indica strains. THCV is what made some sativa strains true rocket-sled rides.
Something else to remember is what percentages of CBN and CBD there is in strains.
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) gets a user high, a larger THC content will produce a stronger high. Without THC you don't get high.
CBD (Cannabidiol) increases some of the effects of THC and decreases other effects of THC. High levels of THC and low levels of CBD contribute to a strong, clear headed, more energetic high.
Cannabis that has a high level of both THC and CBD will produce a strong head-stone that feels almost dreamlike.
Cannabis that has low levels of THC and high levels of CBD produces more of a stoned feeling. The mind feels dull and the body feels tired.
CBN (Cannabinol) is produced as THC ages and breaks down, this process is known as oxidization. High levels of CBN tend to make the user feel messed up rather than high.
THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) is found primarily in strains of African and Asian cannabis. THCV increases the speed and intensity of THC effects, but also causes the high to end sooner.
Weed that smells strong (prior to smoking) might indicate a high level of THCV.
CBC (Cannabichromene) is probably not psychoactive in pure form but is thought to interact with THC to enhance the high.
CBL (Cannabicyclol) is a degradative product like CBN. Light converts CBC to CBL.
Cannabinol - CBN is not produced by the plant per se. It is the degradation (oxidative) product of THC.
Fresh samples of marijuana contain very little CBN but curing, poor storage, or processing such as when making hashish, can cause much of the THC to be oxidized to CBN. Pure forms of CBN have at most 10 percent of the psychoactivity of THC.
Like CBD, it is suspected of potentiating certain aspects of the high, although so far these effects appear to be slight.
CBN seems to potentiate THC's disorienting qualities. One may feel more dizzy or drugged or generally messed up but not necessarily higher.
Those are just some of the chemicals, psychoactive and non-psychoactive, in pot. There are many more and many have not yet been discovered due to such a lack if research so people do not only not know what they are but they also do not know what they do and how they do it.
Because of that people do not know their possible importance and others do not know about the ones mentioned above so all they say is THC, THC, THC when there is more to consider.
Many people today mistake the dulled mind and messed up feeling of high CNB/lower THC level strains for being more potent when they in fact are not.
It is just a different feeling/effect caused by the percentages of the different chemicals in different strains.
One thing I often ask people who claim todays strains are so much more potent than what I smoked in the late 60s and 70s is where did the different strains of today come from, how did they genetically get their massive potency if not from the plants used to breed them?
Many people today say that all Mexican was always low grade pot.
Well Acapulco Gold was Mexican and that certainly was not low grade pot.
Consider just a few crosses/strains:
AK-47 (Serious) Colombian X Mexican X Thai X Afghani
Black Gold (Dman) Columbian Gold X [G13 x Black Widow]
Black Widow (Mr. Nice) Brazilian Sativa X South Indian Hybrid (The original White Widow)
Blueberry (DJ Short) [Oaxacan Gold X Chocolate Thai] X Highland Thai X Afghani
Brains Damage (KC Brains) Mexico, Acapulco X [Hawaii 93 X Mango 2001 X KC 36 606]
Cannalope Haze (DNA) Haze X Landraces; Mexico, Michoacan
Durban / Durban Poison (Sensi / Dutch Passion) Landraces; South Africa, Durban
Durban Poison (Nirvana) South African Sativa X Skunk
Early Queen (Mr. Nice) early Californian blends X Mexican Sativa
Golden Haze (Dr. Greenthumb) Acapulco Gold X Haze
Malawi Gold (African Seeds) Landraces; Malawi, Lake Malawi
Mexican Sativa (Sensi) Mexican, Oaxacan X Pakistani Hashplant X Durban
New York City Diesel (Soma) Mexican Sativa X Afghani
Original Haze (Seedsman) [Mexican x Columbian] X Thai X South Indian Kerala
Red Congolese (Reeferman) Congolese Sativa X [Mexican X Afghani]
Reefer Madness (Reeferman) Mexican a.k.a Blackseed X G13
Trainwreck (Woodhorse) Mexican X Colombian X Afghani
White Rhino (Green House) Afghan X Brazilian X South Indian, Kerala
Willijuana (Reeferman) Vietnamese X Burmese
Willy Nelson (Reeferman) Vietnamese X Highland Nepalese
Those are just a few. Anything that is Haze can be added to the list along with others.
Did they all become potent because of the indica in them?
Nope.
Now consider the crosses that came from some of the crosses above, and others with old school sativa in them, and you can add them to the list because they to in part came from old school sativas.
There is a lot of misperception, confusion, myth and urban legends passed around about pot of today being the highest in THC of all time and being the best of all time.
Decades ago I smoked a good amount of true Dalat and to this day I have never run across a single modern strain that is as potent let alone more potent.
Some old sativas simply cannot be beat.
Something else to consider when comparing old school sativas to todays crosses is that it was very rare, very rare to find seedless pot in the 60s and 70s but today it is common, it is what everyone here does their best to grow.
Well if there are seeds some energy always goes into seed production instead of going to resin/THC production so to compare seeded pot to seedless pot is not a valid comparison.
What is needed to be done is to compare todays strains if grow with seeds to the 60s and 70s pot with seeds. If that is done a more accurate comparison can be made.

To add to that Brick, The curing techniques are much better these days for the most part. Before indoor growrooms started popping up en masse, most of what we had access to was commercially grown, and when you grow such large ammounts the curing suffers, such as just chopping it and letting it sit in the sun for awhile. So the weed that people would say wasnt as good actually was but just wasnt handled as well before it made it to the consumer. I have never grown brown weed but I have seen it for sale alot. I used to hear people say jamaican sucks, because of what it was when it got to them. Well we used to grow jamaican from seeds brought back, and to this day I miss that as it was the tastiest I have still ever smoked and not close to this day!
edit: I have actually grown high quality that was brownish, but of a very high quality. Not dirt brown.

I, too, remember the gold, red from back in the day. We used to get it from the Puerto Ricans in the park. The golden and sometimes yellow color was great. The taste was awesome and the high was great!!! All the weed back then had seeds! Any seeds available out there? Holla!

Jamaican weed has improved as well. They have a lot of seeds from Holland that have mixed with the local genetics creating some fire. also a a lot of skunks. Theres so many different phenos in jamaica its insane. There drying techniques Do take away from there quality. Also theres two major climates in jamaica. The east is A swampy marsh land with more lakes. While the west is more mountainous and gets more sun over all. You can also grow all year round in jamaica.
