Thank You Mel Frank and Ed Rosenthal

For you youngsters who don't recognize the book (and that's my original Oct 78, Third Printing), these two guys are responsible for more advanced cannabis development than you can even begin to comprehend.

For us old farts, we _know_ we stand on the shoulders of fucking giants.

I'm not so sure about you youngsters.

Never read it.

damn right ive had a copy of that since 1994

That's the book I loaned my bro-in-law back in the 80s and never got back. Same with my Nicholson Brothers motorcycle mechanics book. SOB!

as much as I despise people that use the term 'boomer,' using 'youngster' is just as lame...

my copy is sitting in a box somewhere because, you know, it's 2022 and the internet is a thing.

Still have the same book.

While I'm at it, there's a few other influential people who have instigated/educated/motivated me that I need to mention. BTW, this post is motivated by a 5g cubensis journey I recently went through where the phrase, "Attitude of Gratitude" was kinda imprinted upon my brain.

Jack S. Margolis and Richard Clorfene's book A Child’s Garden of Grass initiated my journey into cultivating cannabis. William Daniel Blake, Jr., who wrote Connoisseur's Handbook that I bought when I was in high school in 1971, _really_ got my interest into actually planting a seed and growing cannabis. Can't mention growing cannabis without mentioning Owsley "Bear" Stanley, who knew and understood that _how_ you took care of the plants was just as important as the genetics. And finally, and most importantly, to NL Seattle Greg who created Northern Lights.

You're the fucking man!!!!!

Got that back in the 80’s, about the same time I signed up for my first subscription of high times. The good old days of Mexican brick, Thai stick, Acapulco Gold and Humbolt skunk.
