There are several legendary varieties of cannabis that some of the more honest members of the baby boomer generation (you literally came of age in the mid-late ‘60s & very early ‘70s … we know most of you smoked weed, at least, in your hazy, crazy college and early adult years … those of you that hypocritically lied about it to your kids while telling them to stay away from drugs didn’t do them any favors at all) recall extremely fondly, with a nostalgic twinkle in their eyes, waxing poetic about how the legendary genetics of yore got you high, filled you with energy and euphoria, were incredible in social situations, and fueled your more creative and outgoing sides (read: free love), with no stony, sleepy, or downer effects of so many modern stains (Afghani, Pakistani, Iranian, & mostly Central Asian / Himalayan Indicas wouldn’t hit the States until the mid 70s, at the earliest, and most arrived a good while later). That’s because those legendary strains were virtually all pure or occasionally crossed landrace and heirloom sativas - and, sorry to burst your bubbles, but many had total potencies of 16%-20%+ or more, up to 25% total THC, Delta-9-THC, & were more likely to be high in rarer cannabinoids like THCV, a stronger and speedier homologue of THC, being tropical sativas, with potencies just like the majority of today’s cannabis. However, there are indeed many modern hybrids that when grown well and cured properly, can have total THC homologues & analogs that give them a potency as high as 26%-30%, & even a bit higher. Legendary Mexican, Central, South American, & Caribbean Sativas like Acapulco Gold, Highland Oaxacan Gold, Jamaican, Honduran, Panama Red, Colombia Punta Rojo, Santa Marta Colombian Gold, Chocolate Colombian (aka Wacky Weed, one of three Colombian landraces crossed to make Original Haze, & was once one of the most common varietals in the US, especially in the 1950s, but is now most likely extinct), Several Hawaiian landrace Sativas, such as Maui Wowie, Big Island, & more, Several Southern Asian Sativas, particularly from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Nepal, India, The Philippines, & several African Sativas like Angola Red, Red Congolese, Black Congolese, Ethiopian, Kilimanjaro, Nigerian, Malawi Gold, Kwazulu, Durban Poison, Coffee Gold, etc. with all manner of different names, made up the majority of strains available in the US in the 1960s and 1970s. In particular, sativas from the Americas, Hawaii, & Southern Asia (mostly due to the Korean & Vietnam Wars) tended to be the most common in the 1960s. Acapulco Gold (with a natural potency of 23%-25%), Panama Red (with a natural potency of 17%-20%), & Santa Marta Colombian Gold (with a natural potency of 16%-19%), were some of the most infamous 1960s landraces that are still available today. Panama & Colombia were one country until 1903, & Colombian Red (Columbia Punta Rojo) & Panama Red are widely considered to originate from the same or mostly the same feral landrace cannabis populations. Of the three, Panama Red is the hardest to find today, particularly because it’s extremely rare in its native Panama. However it is still available from some serious seed collectors in the US. Of these big three Mexican, Central, & South American landraces, Acapulco Gold tends to get the most attention, possibly because of its potency, & possibly because it was so much easier to get than the other two. But as someone who’s fortunate enough to have seeds of all 3 in my collection, as well as a huge library of other landrace genetics from all over the world (a massive shout out to SnowHigh Seeds, ACE, Reeferman, Dr. Greenthumb, Cannabiogen, California Connoisseur Genetics, Anesia, Bodhi, Indian Landrace Exchange, Tropical Seeds, World of Seeds, Seeds of Africa, Afropips, Khalifa Genetics, Mass Medical Seeds, & many more, including innumerable individual collectors & the many old timer hippies with some seriously amazing seed collections - all of you are legendary for your landrace and heirloom preservation efforts!), genuine Panama Red has the most phenomenal effects of the 1960s legends. Finding genuine Panama Red is fucking hard work. Of the 9 different seeds I was gifted or bought that claimed to be Panama Red, only SnowHigh, California Connoisseur, Reeferman, & Dr. Greenthumb’s were the real deal, with extra love to SnowHigh, Cali. Connoisseur, & Dr. Greenthumb for having the best representations of the original. SnowHigh’s Seeds aren’t easy to find anymore, but if you’re able to, snap them up. Especially those with pure original landrace genetics, or landrace genetics in the mix. Most other genetics companies Panama Red aren’t available at all anymore. Not real Panama Red. ACE & Anesia both have Panama seeds that are a cross of 3 Panamanian and Colombian landraces and are excellent, but aren’t true school Panama Red. ACE & Anesia do both have several genuine landrace beans in stock however. Panama Red is euphoric beyond description, with a long lasting, energetic, creative, vibrant, & very heady high. The best individuals have a unique citrusy, grapefruit scent and flavor on top of the earthy, spicy, herbal, flowery, and tropical fruit notes. Snowhigh’s Panama Red Deep Blue Pheno (good luck hunters!) is the best I’ve had, with red sap & brick red hairs, the former extremely rare in even genuine Panama Red genetics, but indicative of the highest quality, real deal Panama Red & Colombia Punta Rojo, the latter a good sign you have genuine Panama Red or Colombian Red. If you’re lucky enough to come across a bank with some of Snowhigh’s Panama Red or Colombia Punta Rojo genetics, regardless of the asking price, absolutely snap them up! It’s some of the best herb you’ll ever get to experience in your life. And if you one of your parents or grandparents are baby boomers, even if they’ve denied using cannabis (uh-huh … fucking sellouts), this will make their mouths water for that legendary 1960s classic cannabis they never thought they’d ever get to experience again. Much easier to find, are Mass Medical’s twice released Acapulco Gold seeds (in 2019 & 2023), & that he’ll likely release at least one more time. I’m certain they’re still available from at least a handful of US seed banks. They’re genuine, & they’re 🔥. NOW GET HUNTING!!!

Panama Red is my all time favorite of all strains, that I have tried. I happened onto several Oz's of Panama Red that was grown in Oklahoma, as it became legal and I scooped them up and put them in the freezer. I still have about 50G. Wish I had seeds. The high is very smooth, I feel like the best version of myself. I am instantly 50% pain free from severe neurological pain, I feel smarter, funnier, driven, even sexier for 3-5 hours... Wish, you had some too. It's the best of what any good Sativa is, it's similar too and/but half the strength of the best Thai, but I can run Panama Red and it never, ever be to much for me or those around me, and I can truly be my best all day.

Classics never go outta Style. It's been many , many ,many years since I've smoked this beauty(probably since the mid 90s) . I was skeptical about how effective and Close to the original P.R. this would be. Well folks , lemme tell yall , This was AMAZING.I haven't been this ripped in a long time, i even woke up groggy and that's a great indicator,for me, of a Great Strain/batch. Now , I will say that not every grower/brand has same results, This 8th was from Hamilton Farms brand based in Da Garden State (NJ) . If anyone is interested and im NJ I highly recommend this Sativa,

Recently obtained a 1/2 oz of landrace Panama Red flower from a black market California grower. When I heard that Panama Red was available, jumped in my car and drove 60 miles one way to obtain it. I was NOT disappointed. Having now been reacquainted with the Panama Red strain, it is one my favorites. What an unexpected trippy and speedy ride down memory lane. In this case, the legend of Panama Red is true! What a great lysergic strain. Euphoric and long lasting at 20 percent THC! In fact, the Panama Red strain effects were as I remembered - Speedy with no couch lock and no munchies. Panama Red has a tremendous creeper sativa high that keeps getting stronger and stronger. Music sounds great and you are energized!!. The taste is earthy with a strong tea and pepper after taste just like the original imported version. A strong trippy Sativa high results from a typical .5 gm bowl. Smoking another .5 gm bowl is almost incapacitating- The high will last for hours!. No tolerance or ceiling on this strain.

Took a gamble on this while cashing in on a pre-roll deal. So glad I did. I'm digging these oG strains. There's a reason this is a classic, they knew what they did with this. By far, it is one of the smoothest and flavorful strains I have ever smoked. what does it taste like? I was hit with notes of berry almost right away. what does it do? The effects on this one kicked in about 5 minutes after my last toke. Euphoric... but not too bad.... Talkative... Uplifting... and getting shit done. Definitely within my top 5.

I can not say enough good things about this beauty of a flower! it hits hard and fast, but it doesn't make you feel crippled or dumbed down in any way. it's definitely an upper. I feel more focused while being relaxed and chill. It helps with my ADHD, as most weed does. It definitely has arousal effects for me and my husband. The tingling and heightened senses make the sex so much more pleasurable as well!
