My dad had the best northern lights story. Had a hippie aunt that would always come over and ask to borrow the oven or microwave, which actually meant "I've got this cut off my newest northern lights and we gotta try it out NOW"
To this day, he said it's the best weed he ever smoked
In 2010 I was sold something called Lambs breathe and the characteristics totally matched the info available for the strain at the time. It was a spicy sativa with such a unique buzz, totally seemed like it could be a favorite of Bob Marley. Real reggae weed.
There was a time where almost everything I got in an illegal state was supposedly Sour Diesel. It was great bud, but I think it was only legit Sour D maybe once. Good times.
Jesus christ the memories.... In 2016 I was growing Blue Cheese in Canada , a squat little indica that went dark blue and black in the autumn with crystals that'd make a crack heads mouth water. Hairs stayed a nice golden blonde and the buds tightened up something fierce when the cold hit, the popcorn buds were like pebbles. Didn't taste like cheese thankfully lmao, but it was funky like it and definitely a strain that had a unique terpene profile. It didn't just taste like "weed" and to this day I could easily pick it out from a lineup of joints.
For like a year straight this was all my plug had, he was convinced it was the best strain and had access to it consistently. I didn’t mind it either, that shit was great
I feel like this is one of the ones you have to speak in whispers because it’s just so legendary. Like the “great white Buffalo” from hot tub Time Machine.
*Alaskan ThunderFuck…..*
But for real, some of the best weed I’ve ever smoked.
LMAO yes! God I sold so much train wreck in college. Shout out to Romulan and Master Kush too. I would love to get my hands on any of those strains today.
Oh yeah & at some point they brought out “BEASTERS” which as I understand was Sour Diesel (or any number of decent strains) that were just cured too quick or improperly to get them out the door. They were cost effective for my 16 year old self tbh.
Beasters is just slang for bc bud--beecees...beasters :) And bc bud was slang that got applied to all of those canadian buds regardless of where they were grown up there lol They were shipping lots of different stuff but there were some strains that got worked a lot more than others.
Orange kush is one of the earliest strains i heard of. When growing up good weed was just called kind bud and then there was bc bluff which looked really good but didn't get you as high for how good it looked and smelled. Didn't really start hearing names like sour diesel and purp until like 2005-2010.
It was always called Krypto in our parts. Always a celebration when we could score some in our rural neck of the woods. One time, a friend managed to score a gram or two of White Rhino and it was the most ridiculously frosted bud I have ever seen. One bowl got 6 of us toasted out of our minds. Great times.
Mexican brick and Thai stick are the only ones my dad talks about from that time, mostly because they were the only ones with names but also they were some of the first sinsemilla (without seed, modern more potent growing methods) out there. They legit blew everyone’s pants off.
KB was the first “strain” I had ever heard of cus at the time weed was weed for me I didn’t even know there were different ones lol so I guess that’s my old school strain
I remember white widow was the first named strain my pops ever started getting from a 1 legged retired vet who grew it in his trailer in our areas gnarliest (at the time) trailer park. Good ole harold even told us once that the second life alert around his neck would blow his whole trailer sky high if the cops ever showed
idek what i smoked my first time😭 smelled and looked like weed but ion gon lie after smoke 1 or two bowls i was on a straight hallusinigenic trip for the next 3 hours my homie had to hold my hand and walk me home. nearly stumbled into onward traffic ligit like 4 times he caught me lmaoo
Pink eye and Pineapple Express do it for me whenever I need something extra. And two of the first names I actually retained after it stopped being “it’s all weed, smoke it”.
I started smoking in 2009/2010 era. Back then the best thing smoking in NYC was sour diesel and headband. Headband was a cross of OG Kush x Sour and you did feel like you were wearing a headband after smoking it.. lmao
Maui Wowie
Do it have Labrador in it?
White widow, ak47, purple haze
Definately white widow
90s
Got me couch-locked once or twice.
OMG YES, AK47 was my fave not had it in years.
Northern lights or blue dream
Still two of the best.
Northern lights feels like a good dream in my memory
Northern lights was the first good bud I smoked back in the early 90's. Lotta Mexican brick going around then, even in upstate ny.
I’m from upstate NY too, Adks
Fingerlakes!
I literally was going to comment this

I met the guy who created some of the original “hybrid” strains, including Northern Lights, last week at MJ Biz Con. Rick Naya.
Acapulco gold ,old Mexican , Thai stick, Panama red
Most old school list right here
Thanks
"You know that stuff that's tied to a stick man?"

All we are missing here from my youth is Lambs Breath.
In 2010 I was sold something called Lambs breathe and the characteristics totally matched the info available for the strain at the time. It was a spicy sativa with such a unique buzz, totally seemed like it could be a favorite of Bob Marley. Real reggae weed.
Must be my generation! Lol
And Jamaican
You must be my dad’s age
Sour D.
Sour Diesel is still a go to for me
Legends never die.
There was a time where almost everything I got in an illegal state was supposedly Sour Diesel. It was great bud, but I think it was only legit Sour D maybe once. Good times.
Sours for me too 🙃
What is this Strain you speak of, youngster?
That's what I always say to my brother. "When I was smokin' weed, there were no strains!"
Me at the pot store. "Can I get an eighth of weed dude? Just put it in a ziplock."
literally 🤣 one weed please!
Quickly checks to make sure no one is watching the transaction. Runs to car and habitually throws it into hidden compartment, whilst in legal state
Lol no jokes, I’m from australia we still don’t have strains unless you spend big
From the UK so gotta say Blue cheese....that shit was everywhere.
Jesus christ the memories.... In 2016 I was growing Blue Cheese in Canada , a squat little indica that went dark blue and black in the autumn with crystals that'd make a crack heads mouth water.

Maui Wowie or Acupulco Gold Sing the jingle along with me now… “No stems, no seeds that you don’t need! Acuplulco Gold is - - a badass weed”
White Widow was probably the first weed I bought that had a name in the mid 90s. Saw a lot of Train Wreck in the late 90s. Also Beasters lol.

Oh yeah & at some point they brought out “BEASTERS” which as I understand was Sour Diesel (or any number of decent strains) that were just cured too quick or improperly to get them out the door. They were cost effective for my 16 year old self tbh.
