Yeah, you've been doing it awhile now...I only wish I had a green thumb. I can't grow at all. Thank goodness my 'brother' out West is a gourmet gardener & sends me a bunch. He loves to hear my 'smoke reports' & I'm more than willing to be his quality control manager.
I remember when I 1st started in 1969 -- $15/lid. I used to be a die-hard old school hippie who thought that we used to get the good imported weed [which it was damn good] & that the younger generation could never top our stuff. Man, was I ever WRONG!! [& I'll be the 1st to admit it]...the weed grown nowadays puts our stuff to shame.
Super Silver Haze, Cinderella 99, BR_1947, White Widow x Blueberry, Kali Spice, etc, etc [I could go on & on]. But holy shit!!  !! The strength & the leggs of the weed grown now by the serious & proud stomps all over the Colombian & the Michoacan/Oaxacan/Acapulco Gold [the top Mexican weed] that we scored in the 70s & 80s.
Of course, there were exceptions [Panama Red & Thai-Sticks & some of the Jamaican] that come very close...but the weed my connect sends me is like 2-3 bong hits & I'm flying for 3-4 hrs. This NL x Sk#1 that I'm currently working on drops my IQ 50 points!!    |
Man, I'm behind the times with all the designer smoke nowadays. In the 60's, smoke took a back seat to Acid,Meth,Heroin (if you could find it). Coke. . . never found it, but with 150/OUNCE crystal, no one cared.
The two top highs (that I can recall
) were BELLADONNA, which was sold openly in drug stores for an asthma remedy. I recall on two different occasions talking with an individual and wondered why she never talked back. A minute later that person would disappear into mist. Quite the mindblower as it was a real solid looking apparition, normal as anything. Found out later that Belladonna was used by the Hemlock Society. A community that advises on herbal ways to take your life.
The second..and I really will have no image now, was a mixture of Robitussin DM (a very under rated drug) and common Dramamine, which is used for motion sickness. It is generically known as ...hydramine, found in Benadryll, and sleeping pills...all over the counter. Taken together, usually a bottle and 1or2 pills produces real OutofBody experiences, the type experienced in heavy heroin "nods." We've all had the experience of lying in bed,late at night,dead tired and you have to go to the bathroom real bad. You get up, go to the bathroom, come back, then WAKE UP ! You didn't go at all, but you experienced walking thru the room, the whole trip.
I'm rambling, dude. The Golden Age of Drugs. Literally a time when you didn't know anyone that DIDN'T take drugs. Before the downward spiral of taking responsibility, making a living, and car payments.
Like Dennis Hopper said " For 2 weeks in 1967. . . everything was perfect."
