There wasn't nearly the variety in most areas 30 years ago, and the only time I had skunk growing up was around 1994, when a Skunk variety came around for about a year. It was wonderful; some of the most giggly and best body high weed I've ever had. As time passed, I eventually thought and realized that I hadn't seen or had any type of skunk weed in 20 years, and I wondered where it was. It wasn't until I moved to a weed-legal state that I found a batch of Skunk 1. I was excited to try it, as it it smelled and looked the closest to what I remembered compared to anything else I had seen over the years. It came in around 22%, was excellent, and gave the same giggly uplifted feeling coupled with the same relaxed body high. It was stoney and gets you baked, and it tasted like skunk and tar, with undertones and notes of sweet and flowery lemon tea kush. This strain always leaves me feeling great overall in mind and body. It's good afternoon and early evening weed, for creating, nature, and parties. However, it still wasn't exactly the same as the 1994 version I had. I'm not sure of course if what I had originally was Skunk 1 or something very close, or how true the 2022 Skunk 1 I had was to what it's supposed to be, but this was still the closest in 28 years to what I had in 1994 and identified as Skunk. The main differences I noticed were that the 1994 version I had was the same but even stronger, it smelled slightly more like the wet skunk-weed plants you find in many marshy areas, had a tad more diesel taste, and the buds in the past were slightly flatter with more black square patches in them which really stood out at the time. It's one of my favorite strains and I love when any Skunk 1 or similar strains come around. Of course I'm still hoping to find that old one or relative too.
