How old are you ?

[Gordo41]

im 75 and have been smoking on and off since i was 12. I now smoke almost every day using my SSV vaperizer.
im curious as to how old some of the older blades on here are. I feel great and have no illnesses, no pain or health problems and i think some of that is due to smoking weed. Please tell us your story.

A lady never tells her age! But I remember smoking the best Thai sticks.

Glad you're here Gordo41!

[Gordo41]

Glad we are all still here. I did Thai sticks back in 74 when i was in Okinawa.

[Karlee]

Gordo that is the time frame , I lived near Fort Lewis and Mcchord air base the best stuff came through those bases! I've never had the same as that.

Glad were all like minded. :-)

[Gordo41]

When i was in Spain we would get all this great hash from Morocco,, like a candy bar chunk for $20.00

[Dagmar]

I'm 59. I smoked cannabis for about 10 years until I was pregnant. I didn't start smoking again for 20 years, until my babies were grown and out of the house. Now we get high together.

[Gordo41]

Now that they are gone, you can go back to who you were.

[Karlee]

Glad your back, I would have HATED the 1990's without help from my little green friend.

[Dagmar]

I've always been who I am. Kids are just a different kind of high but they eventually grow up and leave. My cannabis would never to that to me!

[Green75]

I'm 41 .....been smoking non stop since I was 13... Man I do not get sick ever!!! All these years only a few sniffles...= lots of sick days saved up..lol

[Karlee]

Oh Green I have to ask I'll drop it then.... Did you grow up on a farm or ranch?

[Green75]

City boy...but spent tons of time on grandparents farm...both sets....hick at heart..lol

[Green75]

Karlee..why you ask

[kingfish]

Be 70 in January. I started smoking in 1966. I really started in Viet Nam, where weed and other things where plentiful. I started growing when I got my Medical Marijuana Card do to Cancer. Been cancer free for 5 years now. My wife has a card as well do to Epilepsy. She don't smoke nearly the amount I do. I have a 44 year old daughter. Her and her husband visit me a lot. If you get my drift. LOL Now I'm retired and Pot is my friend. Two thumbs up to the person who invented the vaporizer.

[Gordo41]

Thank you for your service. Hope the weed keeps working for you. Yeah weed is a great way to bring the family together.

Looking for Greens response

[Canuck147]

Just turned 60, retired 3 years from the federal gov't. Been smoking since I was 15. Not AS much while I was working. Started growing last year, few miscues but all learning lessons. Now I have an indoor controlled environment to grow in. It's just as much fun to grow as it is to smoke.

[Gordo41]

Good to hear ya. Growing is half the fun.

[Chemichael]

Im 46 Married, wife doesnt smoke. kids in HS, MS, and Grade. Been a head since 86ish. Haven't really stopped much to be honest. I do enjoy artisan shit. Like farming, bonsai, cooking, crafting, gardening, landscaping, beer making, BBQing, and other random crafted mastered hobbiest shit that I pop onto and off of from time to time. I feel all the stuff over the years have built up to this mini grow knowledge and success. Oh, im 46.

[Karlee]

Hi Chem

I could never have grown in Washington State before it were legal , you know that shit about them taking everything away from you house kids prison time LOL
I just kept other growers able . Now it is nice I always knew I could grow it and make it happy but never the opportunity to try. I did grow an outside plant when I had horses and they loved the horse fertilizer. But I was paranoid when it got 6 ft tall and sticky. LOL
Glad you're here for questions. Hint Hint (Bonsai)

[Chemichael]

@Gordo Thats been troubling for me for awhile. My older kids know the smell and what it is. Its not spoken about however when we do I hope it comes from my mouth and not my wifes who is uneducated. I can argue justification - from PTSD from 9/11 related shit, or the car accident from 20 years ago thats caused me enough pain and suffering to just give up! But I havent-

The kids are very athletic, and sports driven. We have an awesome balance. Top grades, class presidents, I am who I am who I am who I am I am. With both sides of the spectrum in my home- its a place of craziness, happiness, joy. We have 4 K9 and baby sit them on the side too.. . the other day we had 6 in the home....

[Chemichael]

Karlee the think I learned most about bonsai, you grow trunks not trees. and they can take years to properly form. I have a bonsai garden of gigantic trees that need to be yanked, topped, pruned, chopped and cut to a small stump- then the life works begin

[insomniaczzz]

58. On my second marriage. two kids 28 to first hub, 21 to second and current hub. 2 grandkids to oldest 8 ys and 8 months

[Gordo41]

Sounds like you got marrried when you were 9.

[Bikerstonrr]

I will turn 64 this month. I think that qualifies as old lol. Don't feel it though, still walk at least 2 miles a day ( even after bypass surgery in March) and bowl in a league twice a week not to mention a part time job as a cook. Been smoking pot since high school with a few breaks in between due to mandatory urine treating (had some contract assignments with banks).

Don't really have any physical issues but I do have PTSD and a couple of other psych issues. (Being married 3 times qualifies as crazy doesn't it?). Currently it's just me. I have always smoked for the pure enjoyment of it but, I find that my dreams are not as dark when high plus I fall asleep much faster. So I guess I am also a medical user too lol.

Needless to say I am a daily smoker.

[Gordo41]

Yes that does qualify you for a free drink at Taco Bell. Glad to here you are moving all those muscle.

[kingfish]

You know , when I was in my early 20s I would have given anything to have known an Oldtimer like myself or some of you to smoke a joint with. Think of all the Bull shit that could have been flung.

[Gordo41]

Not to mention all the knowlag we could have gained.. too bad we never learn for the past.

[PuravidaC]

But when we were young " you didn't trust anyone over 30". Man, the arrogance of youth. The only older man to ever talk to me about pot was my Dad. He said he tried it once but it didn't do anything for him. He called it a stick of tea.

[Gordo41]

My dad wasn't there for me. I was raised by my grand parents and was lucky for that. They never told me much of anything, just gave me a place to live and all the love i could stand.

[rockman]

62, and feeling it's getting better all the time! Especially since I recently revived a love affair with cannabis that began in 70's. Always have gardened (veggies and flowers), but never the "special" weed. Had late stage Lyme disease discovered 3 years ago (so that's why my joints and muscles felt like they were falling apart!) Anyhow have become a total plant based eater (including most of small sideshoots that get picked off my plants). Feeling stronger now. Looking forward to high CBD grows in future! 😊🌻

[Gordo41]

Stay well and keep on token on.

[rockman]

Thanks Gordo! This is a great thread you started...so much fun to get some background on the forum members we love! 💚

[Tika]

For the record...I am original hippie Haight Ashbury SF ..there's my age..and earned my wisdom
will regret saying that but...toooobadddd

[Gordo41]

Oh you lucky girl.. that must have been a great time to be there. I was in the Navy so i missed out on that,, but i did make it to Woodstock.

[PuravidaC]

As a couple of 16 year old kids, me and a friend told our parents we were going camping and headed to Woodstock. When we hit the traffic jam and saw all the people we decided to turn around. That was the last time I didn't follow through with my dreams... 😂

[Gordo41]

When we are on our death bed it wont be the things we did that we will regret, but the things we didn't do.

[Jibblerjoe]

smoked since 13 gorilla growing outdoors since 17. 34 yrs old

[Gordo41]

How are you growing now?

[Jibblerjoe]

Outdoors, hidden in plain site. Goorilla, not gorilla.

[Pankace]

I'm a big o 30 years old. I don't smoke weed actually. Haven't since right after high school. Not that I don't like it, it's just, I'm pretty sure my brain chemistry changed. Instead of making me happy it started sending me into something that feels like an anxiety attack. Sucks but it is what it is. I grow for the love of my life. I will however try the buds I grow to fully appreciate what we grow

[rockman]

Sweet Pankace, that's a very admirable attitude! Your wife is lucky! I have found that personally if I go overboard with my consumption, the "fun" quickly turns to a more anxious state, so I try to keep it on the "microdosing" side. 🌻

[Royal Nugs]

You really need to try a high cbd strain. I've heard lots that say they can't smoke high thc weed. Cbd weed works for them though.

[Pankace]

We are growing some of the highest cbd strains that we could find maybe I will be able to enjoy it again.

[Chemichael]

my pop has some land in the mountains- thinking about dropping some beans next spring and SEE WHAT HAPPENS LOLLLL
