My love affair with the herb started back in highschool, in the 80s. There was a disticnt change back then... we went from smoking relatively mild "Columbian", Thai Stick and "mexican ditch weed" etc... to smoking some scary potent shit we called "red hair sensi", which later became known as BC hydro in the later 80s.
What we didnt know was that it was indoor grown in BC. On a trip down the west coast USA i brought a big bag of the BC hydro down and i became an instant sensation on some south Cal beaches when i shared some with the locals. Nobody there had seen anything like potency of that BC hydro. I was 16.... and was promptly beat up and robbed of my weed....hahahahahah
Anyway, in the years followed, BC hydro became the standard in my province and it wasnt long before it was being sold all over the west coast US, in Amsterdam coffee shops and even deep into the American mid west. News stories from the US even decried Canada as being one of the biggest "drug" exporters to the the US.
Then came the whole HC medical weed deal..
So i have argued in many other threads on this site that such was what spawned the growing in the US, all down the west coast and into Colorado, as well as the medical movement down there. I have even gone so far as to argue that a lot of the strains that are said to have originated in CA or CO were actually started in BC. You can imagine the blow back on that from the Americans on this site...
Anyway, all of that history is going to be lost. The growers who started it all had to keep quiet to survive for obvious reasons. But it needs to be recorded...written...
So... if you were one of those founding fathers, or if you know any who would be willing to come forward (anonymously), please PM me... i would like to start interviewing... i know people who can make this happen...
But for the history to be legit...those founding fathers of BC hydro need to be legit....
PM me...
