Speaking as an aging baby boomer, I never thought I'd be nostalgic over a $20 baggie of Mexican.
We must be from the same era.
My friends and I would pitch in $5 apiece and get a lid fo $20.
Once in awhile, we could scrape together the $40 for a bag of *gasp* Columbian.
Dirt Weed Man!! Now, for nostalgia, how about $35 for a 5 finger lid of the Columbian......dat wuz sweeeet!

You paid $20?? That's way too much. :)
The author talks like only NOW is the stuff real powerful.
I'm 41 and there was some "good $h!t" back in my teens.
I recall feeling like I was flying a spaceship as I drove home.
And for those wondering, no I haven't done any of that in years.
I don't consider the stuff "harmless," but I also don't consider it to be nearly as bad as heroine, acid, meth, crack, etc. I know a LOT of people who smoked a LOT of weed in their young adult lives and don't touch it now. I think "addiction" is more about weak individuals who are going to have some type of addiction anyway.
