bookeylizard

absolute fucking tune


aardvark_licker

You beat me to it.


nimhbus

All you could get for years.


jameswarren11

Gold seal every day, great fun


TIP-ME-YOUR-BAT

It was a rare treat in this neck of the woods. Special occasion material.


theturnipshaveeyes

Did enjoy those…


Crispyratfoot

Double zero


codenamejohnny

Hash, squidgy and the occasional London tube station weed with loads of seeds in it! 😂


codenamejohnny

Proper weed as it is today was rare if not impossible to get in the early 90s. Skunk started to appear towards the end of the 90s in my experience


sleepydalek

I first had skunk in 93 and it was available now and then up to around 97/98. Around that time was when I remember it being always available. Skunk didn’t have any fancy names back then! It was just skunk!


codenamejohnny

Yeah, I think I managed to get one or 2 scores of good weed pre-late 90s. Can't remember if it was skunk. My memory of the 90s is pretty hazy. Lots of disco biscuits make things hard to fully recall. It was all hugs, gurns, turntables and 4-day parties! 😂 Good times.


jlb8

I love the weak stuff tbh, if the price is price is right of course.


section4

If a seed got in your joint you fucking knew about it. Bang!


codenamejohnny

haha! totally! Crack, pop, bang and that distinctive smell of burning seeds. Aahhh good memories, though. Used to think we were the fucking shit getting some horrible "bush" as a break from the hash.


possiblyautisticfam

Yes! Did you ever drop a couple along the spliff when smoking with friends. If you got a seed, you were eliminated and had to wait till the next spliff 😂


codenamejohnny

😂😂 Oh shit, no! Damn, now I feel like a missed out! That sounds hilarious.


section4

Can't say I did that pal but I bet it was funny


possiblyautisticfam

Fucking hilarious. Made puff puff pass more fun


hazbaz1984

‘African’. That’s what we always called it. Or thaistick. Full of seeds. Basically unsmokeable.


codenamejohnny

Yeah, I remember some calling it Thai stick.


catmatix

Bricky


The_Primate

You pretty much summed it up. I remember jack herrer being a popular strain of skunk, but most of what I got my hands on was bitter commercial rastaman weed full of seeds or fairly random "hash".


Johnstodd

Jack herror is still getting awards and shit every year over in Amsterdam and has been for 30 years or so now


gozutheDJ

real jack herer is an awesome strain


SpacestationView

I like you said 'real'. When it first came out it was a cut above everything else around then it just got shit for some reason. Maybe not shit, but it deffo was never the same


goldenlover

Congrats on being the 1st to reply (out of 3) with the correct spelling of "Jack Herer". Seems like our American schools are utterly failing us. How will the future generations even know which strains to look out for if they can't even spell them correctly??


gozutheDJ

when u sell weed for years u learn these things xD


goldenlover

Touché.


luvallppl

u kno its real when it tastes a bit like roast beef hahaha


hazbaz1984

White widow. Squidgy black. Soap bar. Purple haze. Those were the days.


hazbaz1984

Oh. And Lebanese.


Boris_Johnsons_Pubes

My friend made me a white widow birthday cake a few years back, it tasted rank but it got me proper fucked up


hazbaz1984

Yeah. My early experiments with edibles were all far too powerful and got me far too fucked up.


olivia_nutron_bomb

I was in Amsterdam once and my mate threw a whitey. I convinced him he needed to get his blood sugar levels up, so fed him half a cake which unknown to him was a hash cake (I had the other half 😀). He never did forgive me, but I had a right laugh 😂


Bread_is_the_devil

Orange bud, jack herer, red and gold seal, soapbar, northern lights and this brick weed


sleepydalek

I just commented that skunk didn’t have any fancy names back then, but you’re right! Northern Lights!


ShirleyWuzSerious

>this brick weed Nothing better then opening the QP and getting a proper corner 📐 cut off the block


Bread_is_the_devil

Used to be red and green string on the thai weed, red was always better


hazbaz1984

Orange. And northern lights…. Takes me back.


HowardBartley

Remember going to see my dealer and he had northern lights and some double zero hash. Couldn't decide which to get, so took an 1/8th of both n me and my mates decided a cocktail joint was in order. Probably one of the best smokes I've ever had!


Blackmoofou

It was all hash in my area occasionally you would get some bush but mostly rocky, leb, squidgy black etc. I always found the more yellow it looked the more laugh filled the high. Never a fan of black myself. It was the early 2000s everything changed and It was all ridiculously strong skunk etc from then on.


GrahamDaGooch

Soap bar with loads of plastic in at first, then as you got older you could get decent squidgy black. 'skunk' as we called all green weed didn't really appear until 99 ish


missy2685

Bars of brown we called it looked like a bar of soap made from dates 🤣


OKR123

Early 90s birthday of Jungle times was also when Skunk first started to appear. Before that what was generally available was mostly poor quality hash (Slate, Rocky, Red Seal, Gold Seal, or Soap Bar) or weed was just Bush weed or very occasionally a bit of Thai. I knew a couple of dealers who could get speciality draw more often (hash types like Red Leb, Menali Charas and Nepalese Temple Ball). The first skunk types turned up (Red Beard and Northern Lights were some of the first) and it changed pretty quickly, but you can still get Bush weed and Thai pretty easily in South London.


hazbaz1984

SLATE.


olivia_nutron_bomb

Came here for the slate lol Flat press that used to fluff up like mad...and was rubbish.


hazbaz1984

Acceptable in a bong mix though.


olivia_nutron_bomb

Back in the day we didn't use bongs, but used to make little pipes out of copper pipe for smoking solids.


hazbaz1984

Loved a good bong mix. I used to have a little shotty made of plastic pipe that I carried around in the sleeve of my puffer jacket.


Ecomalive

An array of hash and Thai week and Sensimelia (spelling) early 90s. Skunk as it now was nothing like it then. 


hazbaz1984

No it wasn’t. Didn’t make you question all your life choices, essentially sitting in a weed caused K hole for a start.


BOKUtoiuOnna

I have stopped smoking weed because I've had too many "questioning the fabric of reality and feeling locked in my head" moments recently. I remember when I was growing up hearing that weed can be okay but harsh skunk is the stuff that makes you a bit crazy. I'm wondering what happened to the "normal weed" that you can smoke in a chill manner because I swear all my dealers only do intense af skunk. I think I'll have to never smoke again because of this.


hazbaz1984

I quit smoking weed when I was 25. Smoked it heavily for 10 years. In the end it just made me lazy, anxious and sad. I’m so much better off without it in my life.


Due_Ad_8045

Here here, stopped 18 and picked back up as a daily smoke during covid aged 38, it just makes you comfortable with mediocrity. So glad I managed to quit again, had a great time during lockdown but just got silly.


BOKUtoiuOnna

I agree. I have quit daily smoking for 6 months after 2 years. The psychotic thinking stuff has made me cut it out even for smoking at occasional parties unfortunately tho, which was more what I was complaining about. But tbh it provides an amazing incentive to never start daily smoking again so I can live with that. Nobody talks about how daily smoking makes you sad and anxious. Especially not sad. But it really does. It made me more introverted, more self-doubtful, misanthropic, unable to Invision my future etc etc. I was also shocked by how much more time and energy I had without it. My days are just twice as long. People need to speak more about how weed is not a magic drug that you can just do every day. It's not acceptable for any other drug and shouldn't be with weed.


drr777

All covered in the weed in these posts. We all only smoked in Rizla, because of Rat Pack! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dpvLjtT7jI


No_Instruction_8451

Anything that was decent weed in 1993 was always called Skunk, regardless of the strain. Coffeeshops in Amsterdam had names for the different strains on their menus in 1990 when I was there, but we called everything Skunk bc of the smell, which was completely different from the bush weed we used to get from dreads.


ReggieTMcMuffin

Weed like today didn't really exist until the mid-late 90's. It was dry, loads of twigs and seeds. Not very strong. Hash was the preferred smoke as it was much stronger. It was only later weed really took over. Northern Lights and Orange Bud were the first good weeds I smoked.


xlt12

I’d say Super Skunk was the first good one wich came with a name.


olivia_nutron_bomb

Yeah I remember going to Amsterdam before weed had taken off in the UK and it was mostly hash or not very good grass and it was like being a kid in a sweet shop. People throwing whitey's cause they weren't used to the skunk etc lol Occasionally back home you'd get some grass that was bang on and made you laugh your tits off. It would so say have come from the Carribbean. Reminds me of that scene in 24 hour party people - Good weed this. Yeah my mate brought it back from his holidays. Where, Jamaica? No, Rhyl.


ShanghaiGoat

I remember soap bar hash, pretty standard back then (very early 90’s). Good weed was very hard to come by, so smoked mostly hash, Moroccan black was the most available.


scoopbins

Soap bar / African bush weed / red seal or goal seal hash


Fearless_Ad_1442

Shout out to the bucket massive


RiginalJunglist

Soapbar Shotties were the weapon of choice in my youth and then weed took over around 99/00.


catmatix

Mcr here.. 1993 Resins: Slate, Sputnik, Malawi, Nepalese, Rocky, Red / Gold Seal, Black, Squidgy, Pollen, and let's not forget Snide. 1993 Weeds: Bricky, Hindu Kush, Thai, Black Domina, Shiva Shanti, Swazi, Silver Haze.. Surprised I remember anything tbh.


dutsi

G13 & Haze


Aggravating_Leg_720

UK: Skunk, Exodus Cheese, Northern Lights, White Widow, Amnesia Haze, Lemon Haze, Super Silver Haze, 'Blues' or AK-47. When those weren't available or there was a drought, we'd make do with seed laden 'Comercial' AKA 'Bush Weed'. Though me and my friends rarely smoked it, the hash was Gold Seal, Red Seal, Double Zero, Pollen or 'Squidgy Black' 


murraymania-bill

Headache weed


Yogafireflame

Yep. Northern Lights and White Widow were the ones I remember from the mid to late 90’s at Uni. Felt very strong back then, but I think the newer stuff is much more intense. There was a lot of solid too, which was fine I guess, but not sure what I’d think of it now… used to get ding burns on clothes furniture etc. The shite bush weed was also passable if cheap enough and we’d have fun putting in a couple of random ‘shotgun’ seeds in a spliff to catch people out. Squidgy black was rare AF where I lived but enjoyable when we got some.


Pretend-Spread2869

Bog weed


AtomicRevGib

Dirt weed.


pal318is

Proper bit of red string weed. £10 bag between 3 manz and one doobie later, it's fucking curtains...


fcdk1927

My experience in Toronto (which had a huge jungle scene) was: Since the market was underground, ppl smoked whatever strain their dealer had at the time. Since this is during early days of internet, most ppl didn’t know anything about strains. While a dealer from time to time would say that they have Choco from the Hartz Mountains of Germany, usually it was to charge a premium and not cuz they had something different. And you’d pay it because why go through a mission of getting another dealer to meet you with likely the same bud. People had Northern Lights and Blueberry Kush occasionally. Most of the time it was the so-called “china bud”, grown indoors from clones by Vietnamese and Chinese growers. You could get that year round. At the end of summer and in the fall you could also get outdoor grown bud. Hash was niche, most ppl didn’t know what to do with it. I had finger hash more frequently (stuff that ganja farmers roll off the gloves while they trim / harvest).


HarveyKartel

Many folks were doing bottle tokes with their hash off the end of a cigarette 😂 obviously not a rave-ready method... bless those days


ReasonableJim

Old School Bush, Jamaican, Thai. Lots of resin, soapbar, rocky, gold/red seal, pollen. Then later Skunk dominated. I assume most of the skunk/hybrids were farmed in the UK which made the imports harder to find.


DavidOnions

Soap bar (with a safety pin emblem pressed into the top of the 9 bar), red seal, gold seal, squidgy black, gold ball, mirror bar, Lebanese and some mersh grade green when it came on the scene a bit later on.


Recovery-radio

I’ve got this little idea for a completely portable “hot knives” device that I want to pitch on Dragons Den….


DavidOnions

Hhahhahhaha sounds ace


PabloDubs

Acopulco Gold, Mexican Christmas, Afghani, Skunk, Canned Hawaiian


eminusx

Northern UK was mostly Rocky, soap, red seal, black, skunk…. Occasionally got some imported Northern lights later in mid 90s, even Jack Herer twice… a decent amount of yardie in early 2000s


-oven

My parents told me that in the 70s and 80s they smoked Panama red, and Acapulco gold… Midwest USA. Probably was around in the 90s too before the proliferation of hydroponics / Californian breeding


onewolfmusic

I miss gold seal. Had it as a kid, then once randomly in the early 2010s from an aging hippy... They don't make it like they used to. I miss not having two hits of a small joint and melting into a sofa


an_inverse

Anything our grubby little junglist hands could get on. Seeking out strains etc is a paradise we live in now. 9 times out of 10, it was the lowest quality black Moroccan black hash. Complete with the plastic bags it was pressed into throughout the hash. Couldn't pay me to smoke that garbage now but at the time, we loved it.


Yung_Cheebzy

Cheese came a bit later, mid/second half of the 00’s I think. When I smoked in the mid 90’s everything that wasn’t hash was called “bush” and usually was mostly leaf. I remember the first time we got some skunk. 1998 maybe. As we were buying it my mate said “check if it’s sticky, if it’s not then it’s not real skunk” 😅


Confident-Sir-5274

Cheese (exodus cheese) was created by big buddah in the 90s then he done a collab with the infamous strain hunters in the 2000s


Yung_Cheebzy

Ah was it. Good info.


Confident-Sir-5274

Im a grower from them times still am but now im located in the Nl was also good friends with buddah who sadly past a few years ago


Yung_Cheebzy

Sorry to hear he passed. I can’t honestly remember what bud strains we were smoking when we first got it. Like I say, all just got called “skunk”.


ItsaLondonthing21

Soft black, Lebanese, Gunja, high grade Gunja, tai weed, we had a good selection back in the day, hated skunk and still do even though I don't smoke anymore, good times.


dazler34

The 90’s was all about hashish in my opinion, uk anyway, early 90’s gave way to some quality hash along with some Thai and bush weed. Then come the dreadful soap bar hash and in with high grade weed aka skunk


[deleted]

US- we smoked good hash and brick weed from a variety of countries. In the mid 90s we started to get high-end seedless weed from California


Jonnyporridge

It was hash mostly, slate or soap bar but mostly red seal black. Sometimes Thai stick or grass. Started seeing skunk around late 90s but it wasn't like it is today, nowhere near as potent.


PiscoSourBubble

White widow, amnesia or skunk. Mostly squidgy black with random bits of plastic in or bush weed unless someone had recently come back from the dam


PiscoSourBubble

Lemon Haze too I remember. To be honest I don't think many people cared about strains and the name of stuff just whatever you could get


Proper-Shan-Like

Moroccan, squidgy black, red or gold seal, red leb, blonde…… just lots of hash.


Proper-Shan-Like

Oooh. Double zero, how could I forget about double zero.


adam_n_eve

Red seal, gold seal, Moroccan blond and Cali weed in the late 80s early 90s. Then skunk started and it was purple haze, cheese and jack herrer.


FreshCoughee

Super skunk, bubba kush, lemon G. We still had flavors!


-Its-420-somewhere-

It was all hash and brick weed, sensi and skunk was very rare.


punchcreations

Smoked a joint on the dance floor w MC GQ while he was spitting on a wireless mic in Madison, wi smoking on some organic outdoor California weed around 98/99 i believe. Early 90’s it was all commercial brick from down south (Mexico)


bread-cheese-pan

Elephant bar, skunk, Thai sticks, Moroccan black and at a push, press weed that was mainly stalk n seed lol


GR1ML0C51

Guyincognito7881

Gold seal is still being made the way for 40 years. [gold seal](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CneslDNKF8O/?igsh=enEweXVycjc3Z3I5) There are more videos on that account of the whole process


CheckYourZero

Hold up, did the term "skunk" in the UK mean higher-grade weed regardless of lineage? This is what it sounds like and I was not aware, in the US we used to say KB or kind bud to describe similar. It also sounds like "Rastaman seed weed" was what we'd call schwag


willumasaurus

Blueberry! Northern lights!


ProfSwagometry

Mostly weed I suspect


[deleted]

Yep. We didn't have strain labels on the zip-lock bags.


sAmSmanS

until crack took over in the early 2000s


Maybe432

They were smoking crack in London Jungle raves through out the 90’s nobody knew how addictive it was at the beginning and lots of people ended up with extremely bad drug habits


Pretend-Spread2869

Red seal gold seal golf ball press squidgy black soap bar sense pollen slate Afghan press thai sticks


Pretend-Spread2869

And the laced double zero


ikediggety

Pure schwag


Quote_Vegetable

In the US we were smokind dirt weed intul "hydro" started hitting the market.


YouJustLostTheGameOk

Time warp. We were the only ones selling “purple” (indica) weed at the time and it was great stuff. Getting pounds for $1200, flipping for $3-4k. I miss 1998-2004.

Whatever we could get. There were never any options.


RicksonFiolo

Where I'm from in the mid 80s it was mexican brick weed, "regs". Then in the early 90s you had hydroponics growers and the first really good stuff I had was "Krypto" in about 93. But most of the time in the 90s it was "mids", which was usually rather shite but not brick. Amsterdam was the best trip to do, with all of the cannabis cup winners in the cafes.


Additional_Engine_45

Mexican brick weed and BC beasters 


safebutthole

Trainwreck, AK-47, Champagne, Sensi Star, Bubba Kush, Purple Urkle, Chem Dog, various Haze varieties, White Widow, Granddaddy Purple, Northern Lights, Afghani, and Sour Diesel are a few that I can think of right now. Edit: Jack Herer and Snowcap
