My mom and dad have told me many tales about getting cannabis in the 1970s.
Until the ‘70s, there was no such thing as “sensimilla,” which is a title used to describe unpollinated female cannabis plants.
These unpollinated ladies would produce flower buds free of seeds & would thus yield stronger effects. The energy once used to make seeds can go into trichome production instead. But before sensimilla became famous nationwide, the batches of cannabis coming from all over the world had lots of stems & seeds in them. Columbian Gold & Acapulco Gold actually had a gold tint to them & long, thin leaves like you’d expect from a pure sativa. Nowadays most legal cannabis is grown indoors so it’s a lot easier to produce batches of sensimilla without any seeds. Alas, this isn’t consistently the case as I have gained a few disappointing batches of cannabis flower products in this state that were filled with immature seeds. If I’m going to find a seed in a premium cannabis product, I want it to at least be a mature seed that I can save for home cultivation. Sadly, the last few times I found seeds they were far from being viable for growing. Even if you whine to the dispensary, the best thing they will do is supply you 10% off your next order. If you can’t trust the new product will be any better, why bother taking their discount in the first location? Getting an older seed for a change would be cool, although I doubt I’ll ever be that lucky. At least supply me sensimilla if those are the kind of prices you’re going to charge. That’s at least what I expect from a reputable cannabis dispensary in a legal state.
