I knew a guy who smoked pot in the 70’s and early 80’s before becoming a respectable adult, and stopping it. Then, a few years ago he had the opportunity to smoke a joint of the latest stuff, and he said he had to take the day off from work, as he was just OUT.
I assume that’s probably what’s happening here. “I used to smoke half a lid back in the days with the boys”. (Smokes a joint, and freaks out at the strength of modern stuff).
Come on Bro. There was great weed in the 80’s. Don’t ask me how I know.
The pot today is just NOT the same. A lot is laced with hard drugs a lot is just strains of incredibly strong thc. I’d have a cup of tea or nice bath instead. Or a bottle of red wine if I needed to really escape for the night.
