Colombian Gold reviews

One of my favorite strains of all time, it's legendary because it comes from the snowy mountains of Santa Marta in Colombia. There that weed grew for thousands of years and also absorbed the nutrients that came from the Caribbean sea because this mountains are very close to the Santa Marta city that has plenty of beaches. The smell is very strong, citric and kind of skunky. The high is great, you get clearly sativa efects such as having lots of energy and creativity and focus. *I have noticed that you get the creative or concentrated effect depending mostly on the context and how much you have smoked. Despite the above this strain also is very calming and good for staying at home and chill, but this bud is great to exercise as well, i remember that it used help me a lot in the gym.

Another old timer here and as others have said Columbian Gold is not green, its GOLD ! I had some in 1967. It was so unusual we did not know what to think, as having pretty much just Mexican bricks at the time. It had very large spongy buds. When twisted up and smoked gave off a very thick smoke. I often hear "This ain't your grandpa's weed". Well the younger crowd can only hope they'll ever get a chance to smoke this stuff. I had something to compare against - Black Nepalese Temple Balls a friend in the merchant marine brought back from India circa 1970. I've smoked some good weed in Colorado but it is lacking something compared to those two, not exactly sure what or how to express it. One obvious thing is both the Temple Balls and the Gold had a very long lasting high.

overall 10/10

Back in the day there were 7 colors of gold. From bright yellow to a goldish color. Tastes and affects varied. The yellowish gold made you laugh your ass off and tasted like sweet candy. Take a toke and it expanded like a bomb,, you coughed your ass off.. The strains nowadays are a pale comparison.

The real Colombian gold/red/black seedless strains from the 70's were the best weed i've ever smoked! A pinhead joint would get 3 peeps super high for hours! You really didn't need to smoke much because it was so potent!! None of the weed today even comes close!! It was $60 bucks an oz. back then, & worth every cent! The seeded buds were not much cheaper, but you had to know the look & smell of the good stuff, because there were lots of dirt weed around claiming to be it, but were bunk as hell. The black dealers had the best, then the berkeley hippies, the mexicans mostly had dirt weed! Only one other strain was it's equal, the kick ass opiated/chocolate Thai Sticks!! These all disappeared when Humboldt County Indica started taking over, then came Hydroponics & 100's of Hybrids! The weed today is potent, but the highs are short lived, where as you have to smoke continually to maintain the high. I wish i had kept those real Colombian seeds.👍👍👌👌✌✌

amazing flavor, amazing body high. all potent planet is gas!

I am assuming this strain is extinct at this point, and I am writing this review as an homage. --- My circle of Deadheads obtained a 1/4 pound of genuine Colombian Gold way back in 1991. It went for $40/quarter, as a charity. 1 hit. It was your friend, it made everything better. You were alive, and you knew it. It was brilliant and it lasted for 4 hours per hit. Outdoor, is the way to go, and I hope, the wave of the future. I miss it.

I would consider myself an "old school" connoseur and Columbian Gold was and is my all-time favorite strain. After the third hit, your lungs would expand so much you could never hold it, cough your head off and get wicked "crimson eyes". Bring it back and Panama Red.
