Not sure this will lead anywhere however maybe someone knows something I don't even after years of ridiculous searching..Road kill Skunk! I believe it's a myth...like a unicorn..I understand people's description AND/OR MEMORIES of said RKS ...but I was actively smoking in the mid 80s thru present and I don't recall any skunk SPRAY smell. There is no other smell in this world that smells exactly like a dead skunk on the road..Don't get me wrong. I've had and still have some very "said" very skunky strains but actual skunk spray smelling weed..Has this all really been a mix up in smell translation? I've been in and out of every rabbit hole ..It comes from a rare skunk 1. I doubt it..foot odor cheesey acrid body odor maybe but not dead skunk spray..it comes from old afghan lines..doubt it..maybe burnt rubber.. gassy but not spray of a actual skunk..It comes from older lines only Mr nice seeds have and you would have to cross this and that and dig dig dig to find it...Pretty sure if that was possible Shanti would have been plastered over every forum on earth with the "real deal"..claim after claim of having the real deal RKS always seems disclaimed by it's just the old played out sweet skunk that was made that way on purpose because carbon scrubbers and this and that was not available! True TRUE ?..? look more like this ?

Another point I may add is there is tons of ppl that may not even know what skunk spray even smells like..Just calling skunk whatever they know as skunk weed...Example.....say RKG....road kill giraffe is popular in Africa... description...smells just like a damn giraffe....How the hell would we know here in the states what a damn giraffe smells like...maybe I'm stretching but at some point someone has to just say it...myth

It did exist, how skynky stinky is a personal experiance.
All i know is anybody who smoked or any cop from the era can verify that the hybrid buds around SoCal in the 80's smelt like the skunks arse i ran over in the road.
It didnt show up untill after the 70's search of the far eastern countries made its way back to the states to be conjoined together with the equitorials to give us that rancid, sick, nasty delicious flavor and the head to toe stone that lasted what seemed all day,,,,,and yep, in my humble opinion, one of the finest creations ever cococted.
Its just one genetic combination out of oh maybe billions but i encoutered it, i smoked it, and it is a legend.

Maybe with some luck and a new breeder around every corner maybe somebody will strike that lucky combo again...IMO it will get harder and harder to find old school legends when for the past decade everyone is fully focused on one cannabinoid and ignore the others... not to mention the vacancy of importance of terpenes...Alot if not most of younger breeders...good or bad.. popular or unknown focus on one thing.

And a hand full of old fellers and gals have some buckets full of old 80's era beans and we are finding newer ways to pop old lines.
Heck, folks are trying to resurrect a mastadone. Perhaps we can find an old weed.

Two years ago my cousin was crazy stoked out because he came back with some seeds from a old feller from Tennessee.. Just called it Tennessee Skunk..apparently this was the only strain that old dude ever ran and it was years and years of growing..My cuz decided to let me give them a go..Well indoors they Hermied out like a son of a bitch...I RARELY have problems with Hermied genetics but it happens ...My mother and uncle both have perfect outdoor grow spots so I vegged a few out last year and gave them to them.. Insane HUGE yields. I personally had very high hopes for them beans... Awesome old school smoke with a lasting soaring high but pure lemon/pine..popped a few more to give back to my cuz and handed the seeds over to my uncle...

Ive been doin this since the 70's, poppin most every good bag seed i came across.
One bag seed the size of a green pea from a giant lime green skunk bud produced 3 pounds of "skunk" bud in kind in the backyard.
Lol, i traded a pound of that flower to my ol buddy George for a '72 Norton Commando.
That was in '84.

It absolutely existed..........I have plenty of history with it. 2 counties north of me, there were several entire houses devoted to grow it.
It was the first weed I ever saw where the approx 1-2 lb bags were heat sealed together like sausage links. They were heat sealed to stop the smell, but there could be 20 or so in a chain. They paid $50 for any seeds you would find.........a rare bird indeed.
The skunk ended here when those house got busted. They had tapped into the electric lines and somehow the electric company figured that out on one house......then they started searching titles/deeds and got the other......in the end, just the old stoner growers got busted.
And it smelled like skunk...and it was bright green.......and some of the best sense I ever smoked......but...there's always a but.... always expensive.

Or is this a zombie horse? :stoned:

If it's Mr. Ed he can be all like "GRAAAAINNNSSSS!" :)

And even though I was born in the early 80s..... I can smell things pretty well, and I too have a memory of smelling what I thought was a legit dead Skunk, and being told by family members it wasn't actually a Skunk..... Now, I'm in Southeast Michigan, so no where near Cali, but it didn't stop people around these parts from smoking what smelled a lot like a dead skunk.

You wanna talk about "Wait how would you know???" LOL whenever someone says "The flavor is gassy"..... Like how much gasoline have you drank to really pin point that as a flavor ?? So I understand what you are saying, but I also have multiple jars of Blue Cheese right now that smell like someone ran over a Skunk, and then, imagine a Female Cat is walking down the same road, sees the dead skunk laying there, and pisses on that Skunk, and a few hours later when both smells have gotten "ripe" someone tosses Blueberry yogurt and somehow manages to get it to land RIGHT on the the dead skunk.

I literally have jars that smell like that. It's why I keep bringing up Cheese strains in the Skunk hunt threads.... I didn't smoke weed when I was 5 years old but I sure as hell smelled it LOL.

I know that might sound ridiculous saying I've got Blue Cheese that legit smells like a Skunk nailed it, but, I do. I too was surprised when that seedling started to have the smell it does; Shit it was hard to sleep at night sometimes when that plant and the clones I took from it were hanging up to dry in the bedroom; I mean, Blue Cheese has always been pungent, but this is legit the most pungent weed I've personally EVER smelled..... I still have a bunch of it, but I keep on thinking I need to long term storage some of that one so if we ever have a pHenounter party I can bring that with me and you guys can see what I mean.

And SOME of you already live in Michigan....Come visit!

Definitely made it to Oz . Came in around mid eighties from my strained memory and hit like a hammer . Nothing came close before of the real wack to the head body stone and same with that Skunky stain in the air that seemed like it could penetrate walls . Northern lights then hit shore a couple years later and maybe 4-5 years later it was all over ??‍♂️.

See hearing shit like that makes me want to find that LOL! I have only have Northern Lights once, and sadly it was a Vape Cart..... Don't get me wrong; I don't mind oils and what not, but if I want to appreciate a Terpene Profile, actual flower is where it's at for me at least :)

Hate my comment or not but I’m not gonnea make bs claims I found or smoked strains it reeeked for miles , it’s easy to say and make claims of the history when u got no proof and also when ur scared of cops maybe just maybe u thought it was more smelly cause of fear .

it’s funny cause if we had phones and labs to test this, I guratee our weed now is better and more tasty. Been buying and growing for along time and there’s no way there was phenos even given across the states that was that known, shoot most growers/smuggles had general names and there wasn’t even strain names.

also if it was soooo amazing, why didn’t anyone preserve even one plant if it was so desirable and than breed with it… ph wait they did many versions but people think way to much based on words and experiences that it will stink for miles and all this lies..



i get ur great memories of getting cannabis was awesome cause it was a gem to get it in a lot of area’s but come on Inless it was laced with opium majority of smuggled weed even from Mexico or Canada was brown frown.

The lab testing part should pretty much let anyone know that the Weed from back in the day was probably NOT what would be considered "potent" by today's standards (Then again, I'm not sure why people use THC content and think of that number so often..... I mean no one buys Tequila based on proofage as High Times said, and I don't even buy Moonshine based on that haha) but for me it's the smells I'm after.

I don't feel like an old bag of Skunk that may be sitting in an attic and somehow didn't mold is going to have me tripping like a white girl in a horror movie, but the smell? I'd still wanna see what it's like. I have no nostalgia for it as it was gone before my smoking began anyway, but it DID lead to Cheese, so it will always have a special place in my heart, and I'd line up like a new I-Phone was coming out to get a bag that I can smell and taste and see what it's like.

I guess it's a little different for me being that in the 80s I didn't smoke anything, as I was pretty young, but at the same time, my Cheese obsession makes it REALLY easy to understand why people are after it. I mean it's not like Blue Cheese is setting records for people feeling like a gravel road, but the smell and taste and effects I get from it keep me wanting more.

That Wedding Cake part at the end legit made me giggle haha! Oh bro, I actually tried my very first Runtz cross like a month ago, and after reading everything, and the name, I expected like a super sweet tongue massage, and then was blown away when it was actually spicy LOL.

I feel like this is a matter of personal preference at the end of the day though; Some people think raisins go in potato salad, and some people like Ghost Pepper Cheese Curds. I'm cool with that and I try not to judge :)

If anyone here does find that missing plant, I'd LOVE to smell it ! I don't mind things smelling like social distancing cats LOL.

I should also point out that the only time I EVER had this strain I LOVED it ! It was really well done, and at the time I had 3 Cats, and I can say it DID smell proper :


Says it's Myrcene dominant, which, appears to be a common thing for Skunk too. And I think Blue Cheese as well. Apparently a strain having that pungency, could be the amount of Myrcene and Caryophyllene in it.

The skunk i smoked was grown localy, had to of been greenhouse, not imported. Fresh airy lime green buds with green pea size calxes with the tell tell "Skunk" profile. Never smashed or flattened, always beautiful presentation.
This was So Cal early to mid 80's and then gone.
Better than "any" bud I've smoked since.

It was the most beautiful, sturdy with a velvety tric covering flower I've ever got as "bag weed", albiet $50 a eighth.
I used to actually clip the calyxs away from the stem and fill a pipe of em, they were giant in the canna realm.
That flower from that time taught me there was alot more to know about pot.
