Johnny, how old are you?

I smoked the evolution of pot myself personally. From sh!tty Mex brick weed in 1971 to good Colombian and Jamaican that started coming around in 1973/74....then it was Oxacan foxtail/wife beater long lime green buds (not too shabby) around 1975/76 and then the grand arrival of the first SENSE around summer of 1977 and onwards....sticky skunk bud. I remember my first sensemilla joint....it got 4 or 5 folks buzzed and it lasted longer than usual.

Yes indeed, there was decent pot around in the 70s my man...and lots of black hash as well and honey or red hash oil too. All very very stone-worthy. There was always lots of seedless Thai around as well.

No doubt that hydro pot today has reached esoteric dimensions but good skunk and even good sativa was avaliable as early as the mid 70s.

I gave it up around 82 or 83....life got in the way but i still take a peek at my little brother's weed from time to time. It's great but not exponentially better.

I'm 38...Grew-up in Indiana. I was 12 in 1976. Obviously, I didn't really become "Aware" of the ins-and-outs of the dope scene until I got a little older but even then, the pot that was around was just OK...

All I remember was Columbian Gold and Mexican Brown. Both of which could be rolled into a cigarette sized doobie and give 4 people a light buzz...

Bags cost either 25 or 30 dollars. Quarter Pounds cost 90 dollars...You bought one, sold 3 ounces for 30 bucks apeice and got a free ounce for yourself.

Yeah, I heard about some good pot being around...Maybe I was too young to have one of the older guys share the "Good Stuff" with me...That wouldn't surprise me. But still, the pot that was around was leafy, brown and NASTY (As compared to what's around today).

As for Hash...It's odd...I've NEVER gotten a buzz on Hash. Don't know why.

I still remember the summer that pot went "Green" and EXPENSIVE!!! The town (And all of Indiana) was DRY!!! Dry for the entire summer. Then people started showing-up with this green stuff that cost TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS FOR A QUARTER OUNZE!!! That was the summer of 1981. Since then, Green (Stink, Skunk Weed) has been the norm. And it's stayed at approximately the same price...It's risen a bit. Maybe another price increase is in the works as we speak...I guess it's pretty dry out there (I keep a pretty good stock so I don't normally notice the dry periods anymore). I just paid $120.00 for a Quarter Ounze. It's pretty good but not THAT good!

Anyway...That's my Stoner Story.

And on this note...I just found out "What" I am (Politically). I'm a Broken Glass Republican but not a Te-Totaler...So, I've never really known what to call myself...Then I saw the post about "South Park Republicans". Fits me to a T!!!
