Hello growers, first let me say i am 66 yrs old and a first generation hippie,oringinal woodstock and 20 dollar ozs. It truly amazes me to read some of the posts whine about not getting huge yield and tight buds. 55 yrs ago we were thankful for crappy Mexican dirt weed, which had stems ,seed leaves and dirt and took 2 dubs to get high.( probrubly soon extinct land race ). We forget that nature is in charge here and we get what we get. On that note anything we grow is100% better than 55 yrs ago. Be thankful for the info on sites like this and sit back and admire the miracle before us, relax and enjoy life Peace to all
 
Yeah if you had weed that was green and no seeds everybody wanted to be your friend. You had something nobody else had and it was rare. Oh, the good old days.
 
great post man, you should share your thoughts with us more often, i see you been here since the beginning but way too quiet :) glad to have you among us
 
Ohh yeah that makes more sense haha about the war. I'm sorry to hear that man hopefully your future will be full with joy and laughs and lots of cannabis :)
 
Born in 1951 also I remember if you had 400 bucks you could get 10 lbs.1 was 80 bucks 10 buck ozs. I do know we just lost another one of the best bluesman of all time. Rest in Peace GREGG ALLMAN
 
daas...........went to a zepplin concert .stairway to heaven at the aud 10 dollar tickets. Lights came on.. blue smoke so thick, couldnt see 10 ft floated home
 
Nice thoughts buffalobuds I remember 15 dollar 3 finger lids those were the days haha . smoke is so much better now . Welcome Home brother you boys got short changed when you got home so thank you as well I was in just after Nam
 
A lot of people these days have never used the word 'lid' as a unit of measure. In those early days, weed was a central part of the underground culture which is now so much a part of our country. I got through college in the late '60s, which was when partying switched from kegs outdoors to private gatherings in locked dorm rooms.
 
Never thought I would see the day i'd witness whats going on in america. In the 60's and 70's everyone partied at concerts , no one gave a shit. then along came Ronny and Nancy Reagan to get the popular vote declared war on the hippies. All the old politicians are kicking off and my generations in power an finally figured out they can't win the war on pot, BUT they can make money, imagine that. Maybe before i kick off it will be legal coast to coast.
 
Remember tai sticks. And all the seeds separated in a shoe box lid. Top and ez wider were the only wrappers you. Oils buy. Lol lot of fun back then
 
I'm with you buffalo. I remember $15 lids, baggies so fat you couldn't get them closed. People willing to front lbs of Acapulco Gold @$400 each to be split up and sold for a little more than $15, but not much. Huge buds weren't a big deal, we didn't mind seeds, kept them for years and then got paranoid and threw them away (still kicking myself for that). And then the paraquat scare....that's when we settled for bunk.
Ronnie and Nancy had to have a catchphrase and so it was her Just Say No! While they probably went into the private residence and took their pills and drank their alcohol and consulted their astrologist...they just threw a wrench in the works.
I've not smoked as long as you, just about 41 years since meeting my husband, and I don't know that the cannabis today is stronger (chemically maybe) than what we had back then, I remember getting so stoned and trying to figure out how long it would take the earth to go dark if someone flipped the switch to the sun! We don't have those conversations anymore! Those were deep thoughts. I think it's just different.
Now for me it's just medicine, for sleep, and pain, and anxiety among other things, and recreation as well...I do think, if we fight hard enough and speak out loud enough eventually we will get national legalization, at least I hope so. We do have proof that it works for so many different ailments, doctors reversing their stance on it, we still have a few hardliners who have their heads up their asses and think that it's as bad as heroin....maybe one day they will have a loved one who is only helped by cannabis and then they will change their closed minds. Not wishing anything bad on anyone, just for them to HAVE to open their minds about it.
If we all keep pointing out that money is to be made, lots and lots of money is to be made from taxes levied on legal cannabis maybe we'll succeed. Sooner rather than later.
Thank you for your service, it's much appreciated.
