Do you think weed is better now than in the 70s, 80s and 90s?

I did a simple search and my stoned arse didn’t see anything like this, but it seems like a question than has to have been asked before!

Is weed better today than it was in decades past?
I didn’t smoke in the 60s, not idea what it was like, but in the 70s and 80s, I had some of the greatest weed I can possibly imagine. Aromas that just apparently don’t exist anymore!
I used to regularly get something called “Purple Sierra”, it was purple and smelled like a Christmas tree farm.
My buddy used to get thai stick that a pinner share by 4 people would render all of us wasted!
I smoked some African weed that was like mushrooms! I sat in my yard and watched grass grow for a few hours!
I can also remember some skunk that smelled like Pepe le’ pew’s ass pipe!

Today, I have froot loops, berry and skunk that even occasionally smells a little! Even my own weed doesn’t compare to those aromas (in my memory)!

Now, the weed today is probably more potent, but I’m not sure I’d check off the “better” box though. Just way different!

In my humble opinion, I prefer the weed from my memories, but I’m pleased with the weed from my garden!

Your experience and stories welcomed!

I'm awful at chess, I used to play a Russian down the beach quite often, not sure if I ever won a single game

I started playing when I was in about grade 3, my dad taught me the moves and a few of us kids used to play at school. I never joined any chess clubs in high school they were too Geeky for me and I'd found drugs by then. I have a small magnetic board and pieces I used to travel with, Played on Plane, trains & busses, beaches & beds. When I bought a Commodore 64 back in the 80's I had my first computer program that would kick the shit out of me but I could replay moves and try again and again and again to get my moves right. Eventually I was able to beat it up to about level 6 out of 10.
Now with chess.com I play folks all over the world in 10 min games every day. I'm about a 1550 rated player, experts start at 1600. to be a master you'd be around 2200 if you don't play a lot but know the moves you'd come in at1200, if you've never played you'd be an 800 for comparison

Reminds me of a buddy of mine named Dick Johnson. He’s an organist in a band!
