[edit] Unverified facts

This article has some pretty specific facts in it that are wholly unverified (ie: Panama Red is genetically related to Columbian red). It reads like a dealer trying to justify overcharging for some normal marijuana, not like a well researched article. The only fact I have come across is that Panama Red is slang for cannabis (http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/slang/slang8.shtml) OngoingCivilUnrest 02:15, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I just expanded the Columbian red article from one sentence to a few paragraphs. I found no really good scientific material, so it's a kind of shoddy wikipedia article. But I wanted to comment that I haven't found any suggestion of the relationship between Panama Red and Columbian Red, or Acapulco Red for that matter...one book on cannabis said red can be from the species itself, or from soil conditions; while I assume these reds are genetic, I found no sources (even unreliable) that explicitly said so. If nobody finds a source supporting the genetic relationship soon, I would recommend removing the claim. -Agyle 04:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Minor update, I did see the sentence "Lowland Colombian (Colombian or Panama Red)— red to red-brown—from the Llanos area" in a books.google search, returned from Marijuana Chemistry, but google only shows some pages in the book, and doesn't include that one. So there's at least a suggestion of a link. I wouldn't cite it without more information though. -Agyle 05:15, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
