My parents were old school hippies turned alcoholics. I remember my mom found my pipe and some beaned up ditch weed and she threatened to call the cops. Granted I was like 12. Later that night while I was grounded, stealing beers from the garage. I seen my mom and step dad out by the burn barrel smoking my bud with their friends. Years later we all smoked together. I grew up where drinking is the norm and smoking is done but illegal and not talked about and frowned upon in public. Sure didn't keep most the neighbors from having huge ass gardens tho lol.

I was always surprised by how pervasive its use was back in the '70s. Every time I expected to get busted I would discover that they had better cannabis than I did and they would usually teach me more about its multitude of qualities.

I started smoking in 1974, at age 13. I would smoke with my speech teacher every week at school. It didn't seem strange at all at the time.

Mine was at 13 in 75. A doobie of lumbo gold leaf. We laughed our asses off for hours.

There were head shops in the mall and it seemed like it was going to become legal at any time. Only taking 40 years!

My step-dad was brainwashed by Reefer-Madness. He actually said "it will lead to heroin" to a friend of his when who rolled one up on a camping trip.

The opiate problem is helping change minds about weed. Soon it will be legal. Or at least decriminalized in most places
.
My Mom believed it would cause birth defects. Folks that age are the slowest to come around to the medical point of view. But I have been coaching her up on how to vote in November. It looks like it will pass {in Florida} this time. Two years ago it got 58% of the vote, but it requires 60% to amend the state constitution.

My parents are hypocrite ex stoners, both of them.

My Mom has never used pot, but she is a hypocrite where drugs are involved. Almost all the farm land, {and much of everything else they bought in the late 40's and early 50's} was bought with "drug" money. They were in the whisky business for about 10 years. So they were rolling in money when many of their neighbors were still in Great Depression type situations. Every chance I got, I would remind her that whiskey has done more damage than any other drug.

I don't see nearly as many medicinal uses for whiskey as I do for cannabis.

In moderation whiskey is a wonderful medicine. Especially the gourmet versions that come out of the south

That's called 'bourbon'.

I prefer the restorative effects of a good single malt scotch, myself.

Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake.

I haven't drank in years, but last night there was a bottle of Irish Cream left after the event. I did add half a shot to my coffee. I could really feel it. Or maybe it was just that I worked until 0230 with a long safety meeting after the costumers got out of here.

I had some moonshine that was clear, sweet, and smooth. Not like anything else I have ever had. The closest was some homemade Meade from a Viking I know.

My folks made good whiskey. They used scratch feed instead of straight corn like many did.

I saw that it is legal in Tennessee now. There is a bar with free moonshine tastings in Gatlinburg. All sorts of flavors.

It's all about the tax. Our first police action as a new country was putting down the whiskey rebellion. The people who had been patriots for refusing to pay tax to the British were outlaws once the United States started to be the taxer.

It is about to happen again.

All this talk of whiskey is making me thirsty ha ha.

Loving the stories guys, my first experience with weed was in 1984 in my teenage years. My dad was an emergency services officer so saw a lot of drug overdoses etc, he always had a strict view of it...now I have a joint in front of him when we go fishing and he just smiles lol.

Mom and step-dad gave me weed and meth at 10 yrs old.

They say you dont get high first time...bullshit I was sooo high
