Did you know what strain you were buying?

Back in the 2000’s and 2010’s before weed was legal in a lot of states and you were still buying mediocre weed from your local dealer, did you know what strains you were smoking? Does anyone know what some of the popular strains were back then? I remember the first strains I really heard about when I started smoking were Northern Lights, White Widow, White Rhino and G13. Those are the strains that come to mind lol other than that we never really knew what we were smoking. Do you know what you were smoking back then?
