Home Grown USA 1980 T-Shirt

In the '70s, Americans smoked weed that came from south of the border, commonly Columbia. This cannabis was far less potent than today’s, as imported weed was a mixture of leaves, stems, flowers, and other plant parts, plus it lost much of its potency on the journey. The low quality product is what lead to home grown marijuana in the hills of Northern California and Southern Oregon in the '80s. This home grown cottage industry flourished, providing much of the product for the nation’s cannabis users by 1985. Quality, and likewise, potency, of American cannabis would continue to rise from here, as locally grown American weed contained less filler, and more flower, and focused on the curation of the unique strains available today.
