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

I always wondered, is the US skunk the same as the UK or European skunk? Is there even an Asian or African skunk?

It has to come from somewhere. My wild guess is it was originally some combo of genetics that made their way into the Johnny Boone / Cornbread gene pool and that's how it got all over the country and also why we haven't been able to find it again since.

I remember 2 distinct variations of roadkill as a teenager.

One that we got from some old hippies at the Philadelphia Folk Festival campground around where I lived @ 92ish?? that was like 100x stronger than anything else around. Stung your nose on the exhale a little. It was definitely outdoor herb, rough trimmed but fat buds. As soon as you took it out of a bag it hit the air it was like a skunk sprayed in the room and if you smoked and the smoke hit your clothes you just smelled like a smoky skunk until you changed. I am 100% sure this was real deal RKS.

I alao had a friend around 96/97 who used to grow monster plants in cornfields. This shit stunk like dead skunks but also had this distinct twist in that also smelled like roses. it actually was so strong it was nauseating at times just smelling it sitting out across the room. I honestly do not like the smell of fresh cut flowers especially roses or orchids so I really did not love this one. I used to wonder if it was sprayed by something in the cornfield or if it was something in the cow manure they fertilized with.. but it smelled the same when he ran it indoors too so it was definitely genetics.

I remember one time he gave me a zip of it in a regular sandwich baggy while we were out somewhere, and it was the non zip lock kind just a fold over. I had to stick it in the cargo pocket of my shorts. I think I was actually moving that day or something because I had to go into a Uhaul before I got home. There was maybe 10 ppl in there, and as soon as I walked in with like 30 seconds everyone turned and looked at me. I got up to the counter and the guy straight up told me I smelled offensive. I could probably hit that guy up on the off chance he still has the genetics but honestly that is not the one we want to find again anyway.

I'll always remember a Patriots game back in the 80's where a friend brought a single, fat joint of "skunk". She said it was Afghani and it smelled just like a skunk's ass. It was SO potent. The only thing I have had that was as potent was a bud of Acapulco Gold, that had practically no smell, lol.

Ah, the good old days.

YES! I remember it like it was yesterday. Fall of '83. My buddy's older brother was going to Fitchburg State and living on-campus and came back one Friday with a quarter pound of what he said was "Afghani" but must have been Skunk #1. The skunky smell was unbelievable. We would double bag our stashes to try and keep the stank to a minimum. Would be great to have it back again.
 
Grew 'The Pure' from Flying Dutchman about 10 years ago - they advertised it as "the one and only skunk #1"

iirc correctly I remember liking this stuff, but thinking it smelled very berryish, and not at all skunky. Like strawberries. Also, not very sativa-like at all. Meanwhile, I've smelled other more recent strains that really had the roadkill skunk scent to them. Maybe my sense of smell is broken.
 
i live where you can indeed hit a skunk with your car im familiar with the smell. i too would like to find the real skunk i used to be able to buy it all the time when i was younger last time i saw it was approx 14 years ago. it was the strongest smelling herb ive ever seen such a pungent odour. there was a guy i used to get it from regularly he had been collecting seeds that he would find in the bags he would get one day i went buy the house i was standing in the front yard ringing the door bell all i could smell was skunk outside of the house when he invited me in i told him once i was inside that i could tell what was going on upstairs and that he should buy a carbon filter. he then invited me upstairs to go see. the leaves on the plants didnt look indica or sativa dominant it was indeed a hybrid. i did see some more recently a friend of mine did get a couple ozs when out of town a few hours away he phoned me to come over and see unfortunately did not find any seeds in the bag. im still looking locally but my hopes are not high.

Notice he only describes the smell as "definitely not sweet". I dont doubt it's fire, just not the right terps. Skunk is a great strain itself

The consensus is modern skunks strains are “sweet skunk” so looking for a skunk smell that doesn’t have a sweet backend is the point here.

Island sweet skunk is a skunky strain but it’s sweet. Case and point.
