Colombian Gold

I remember the taste of CG as if it were yesterday and I'm not sure what some of you that describe the taste of it as skunky or piney were smoking or just don't remember the taste but the actual taste and smell of CG was like that of blond Lebanese hash from that era with one hell of a lung expansion that made you cough your ass off! The high was hallucinogenic. It would put this weed today to shame. All the cross breeding f'd things up

Old timer here. I've had many strains over the years, yes including all the new hybrid stuff. I say this stuff is (was) without question the BEST stuff I ever came across! That said, the folks on here claiming they have had this recently, must have taken a trip to Colombia, because that's the only place the original stuff ever came from. The pics I see of the greenish or dark color buds are NOT the real deal, maybe from handed down seeds over the years but not what I used to get occasionally back in the mid- late 70s. Santa Marta Gold was ALWAYS a beautiful pure golden color with areas of light brown. It was marked by a very distinct pungent taste/smell similar to sandalwood or frankincense. (NOTHING SKUKY ABOUT THIS STUFF) It came in fluffy, airy buds formed with lots of tiny spotted seeds, and always fetched about 10-15 $$ more an OZ. It was only available in limited quantities and a couple times per year. The buzz was out of this world! almost like you were mildly tripping but very fun. I'd take it over ANYTHING these days, but until I see it I don't believe it exists in the states anymore, can't grow it and cure here the way the Colombians did in the highlands of Santa Marta. If you ever run across the real deal you will know it!

Shit. I smoke every day and this strain got me high for the first time in a while after two hits.
