Smoking weed in the 1960s/70s

Any of the other geezers here remember gtting caught holding dope then having the cops make them dump the dope on the ground before letting them go free with a warning ?

I got searched and they found about an ounce of weed & a huge log of black tar opium & all they made me do was to hand over the goodies which the cop stuffed in his shirt pocket then split leaving me standing there looking stupid.

Another time i got popped for drivng like a fool by the Big 4 unit in Detroit,the big 4 squad was 4 monster cops to a car & when they stopped you it was rare to walk away without them beating everybody down to teach you a lesson ,the cops searched us & found a ton of shit,we had assloads of weed,hash,opium,acid as well as an entire bottle full of L714's that i had just got from my doctor,the cop pocketed the lude's & made us dump out the rest of the goodies & grind it in the dirt with our boots.

For me the 70's were way better than the 60's beacuse drugs were very close to being accepted as harmless & the legal system wasnt about taking everything you own over a few joints.

I was driving with my friend and he had a qp and got pulled over. The officer put it on the side of the road and told us to wait 5 minutes while he pulled off then we could pick it back up. That was not what I was expecting lol. Another time I was by a lake and had a gram or two and an officer pulled up asked if we were drinking or had marijuana so I gave up my sack(we were underage and had a cooler full of booze like 5ft into the woods) and he emptied it out into the lake and told us to leave. I figured the weed would get me in less trouble than the booze in the woods. those are my good expiriences with police. My bad expirience is I had a quarter and got arrested and interrogated about where it came from/ who I was going to sell it to. I told them I was more afraid of the people who sold it too me than I was of the police lol. they probably asked where it came from 50 times and they kept trying to get me to say I was on my way to sell it. Silly police, I'm smart enough not to believe them when they say they'll let me go if I rat nor would i for anything drug related. If I saw a murder or rape or something like that you're goddamn right I'd talk to the police.

Damn, what a difference! I started smoking in '83 and vaguely remember a few cops like this and the stories of my friends older brothers who we smoked with...then came Miami Vice, and the Reagan's Drug War.

Ah the 80's,i hated the fukin 80's,in the 70's they let me off with a warning,in the 80's they arrested me,stold & auctioned off my home as well as motorcycles,cars & motor home,took all bank accounts,left my wife homeless & on foot whlie i served 2.5 years in prison for manufacturing a controled substance,then got paroled to pay over 10K more in fines to the system.

It's ironic that due to my wifes illness im now legal to grow the same substance ,in the same state where they put my picture in the paper & stole all my possesions under the guise of helping the community,for 25 years after that i wouldnt bring more than a few lousy grams of weed into my home,now im legal to possess 2.5 ounces for my wife.

funny how things change.. gr8 story

Thanks for the recollections everyone, it's definitely interesting to hear. I would really like to try one of these power hitters, I may have to make my own out of a mustard container or something.

Did anyone smoke blunts back in the day?

Yeah, we need a pic of this power hitter.

Was in college in the 60's and seldom heard anything, much less saw weed......heavy drugs were pretty much the thing.
I started smoking weed in 1970 after I saw some people having so much fun getting high and chasing land crabs on the beach....
....weed was 10 bucks a "lid"...once we got hold of some high priced stuff....30 bucks .....smoked so much of it, we all tripped and got sick.......hash was a lot more available...... not sure if weed is stronger now or just more refined but it is different.......but I do still chase land crabs every chance I get!

Picture a 100 dollar doobie inside of a two liter bottle on a stem with one end poking out of the lid.

How far away can you catch the smoke?

The real question is if hash is any stronger, not weed.

Trichomes have always been trichomes.

Since the evolution of the sieve, hash has been refined like green crack.

Have you seen Cheech park his lowrider?

I wish herbs were as potent today as they were then.

There is a Europeanish shaman mummy recently found in China that was buried with his stash.

I wonder if it was a sativa?

lol. i used a corncob pipe for yrs, but mainly it was zig zags .the 10 dollar 5 finger lid.my first puff was at the mudslide at the age of 12 .back when bags had seeds in them.acapulco gold, panama red, ah shit, dont get me started.lol
