Speaking of weed and the 70's. My parents, who were on the brink of divorce with 5 children under the age of 13, thought it would be a good idea to take in some 'fresh air children' for a few summers. One year, one of the inner-city kids asked me where he could get some grass. Being a dumb little kid, I took him out back and introduced him to our lawn. He was like "No, man. Weed!" ..He then talked me into bringing him downtown (which was a short walk from home) ..to find some of this grass that he was talking about. At one point, he told me to look down at the sidewalk. I looked down and there was a pack or orange Zig Zags. He must have put it there but why he just didn't pull it out of his pocket is beyond me. Anyway, we couldn't find any grass downtown so we went back home and he showed me how to roll joints with some of our lawn clippings. Good times. Thanks, Mom and Dad!

Too bad. I really was attracted to the idea that you could find wild hemp growing in a ditch somewhere and turn it into something worth smoking.

You know, I spent hour after hour walking around Texas and Oklahoma looking for actual cannabis "weeds," the hemp plants that supposedly "escaped cultivation," and I never found a single one. According to what I had read and heard, there should have been millions of them growing in vacant lots and uncultivated ag land, but they must all be in Kentucky or somewhere I never got to visit. I could see lots of weeds that looked somewhat like cannabis from a distance, with the five-finger leaves, but once you got within 10 feet of one you could tell it was something different. Ragweed, maybe.

A friend of mine used to always buy the Captial Hills (the big one) ..I wish I still had access to one.


I thought it was "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they all stink."

I'm surprised I haven't seen it mentioned here yet but we used to do 'album hits' using a double album. One person would hold a double album partially open with the lowest point of the album cover's 'valley' in front of their mouth while another would shotgun a joint (put the lit end in your mouth and blow backwards) towards the recipient through the 'valley' of the album. I'm not sure where the idea came from but we certainly ruined a lot of album covers.
