Colombian Gold
holding marijuana nugs in your hands
Colombian Gold is also a landrace sativa which produces a lemony, sweet scent with happy effects that may help regulate mood. Originating in the mountains of Colombia, this strain is less prevalent in some regions, but several dispensaries in the Pacific Northwest and Colorado still carry this old school strain. Averaging between 14 and 20 percent THC, this strain certainly isn't the most potent strain known to man but has a solid reputation for creating potent cerebral effects.
Panama Red


In the seventies, smugglers imported much of America's cannabis supply. As such, Panama Red was an aptly named landrace sativa from the steamy, humid climate of Panama. With racy cerebral effects, the strain's quick launch to popularity started in the late 1960s. Rare in the legal market today, long flowering times cause commercial growers to hesitate and opt for faster-growing crops. Unlike the other tropical sounding strains, Panama Red offered a spicy, woody palette rather than the sweet, fruity flavors provided by the others.


Welcome..these were some of the best buds to have back in the day

So many new strains to try....it's a great passion/hobby to have

Happy growing to you!!! :weed::bigjoint::peace:

Thanks for posting on the Colombian Gold and Panama Red, wow back then a 3 finger lid was 30-35$....We had a lot of the Colombian Gold coming to Illinois back then , we didn't get the Panama Red as often but Gold was plentiful most of the time and then there was Mexican Rag weed that would show up at various times it was some nasty stuff as I recall compared to the Gold and Redbud. I cant imagine how many seeds and stems we threw out. Thank you for posting the info, a delight in reading it. :weed:

In Florida around that time lids were 4 fingers and $20.00. Oh for the glorious days of landrace sativas! Much lower THC content, more seeds and stems than flower, dry as hell...and brown. But days were different than...psychedelia, rock and roll, and a culture that thought the Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island were cutting edge TV shows. You youngsters every watch That 70's show? I lived That 70's show. Now that I no longer have to make 25 calls, wait in parks, or get seed hole burns in my shirts...I remember those days fondly and really miss them.

Thanks for allowing me to wax nostalgic.

Don't forget the bricked-up Jamaican that used to come around. Saving your roaches in case it got dry. There was usually a period from late June to early September when bud was hard to come by. $150 pounds of mid grade commercial Mexican. Smoking up your van and cranking the 8track to Pink Floyd or the like. Shotgun hits with as many girls as possible and a Marlboro box full of pre-rolls....:eyesmoke:
