Your Grandpa prolly talks about Panama Red. If he can still talk. Here’s the dealio on that. Panama Red. or Panamanian Red, was a type of cannabis popular among weed aficionados of the 1960s and 1970s, and renowned for its potency. The typically high THC levels associated with the variety are thought to be dependent on the particular cultivar, rather than the Panamanian climate. But c’mon, that was 40 years ago and most the weed on the streets was really weak, especially compared to today’s co-op distributed marijuana.

The persona of Panama Red was established with the West Coast band, New Riders of the Purple Sage and their “Adventures of Panama Red” long-playing record in 1973. The album featured their one-big hit, Panama Red.
