Don't forget the bricked-up Jamaican that used to come around. Saving your roaches in case it got dry. There was usually a period from late June to early September when bud was hard to come by. $150 pounds of mid grade commercial Mexican. Smoking up your van and cranking the 8track to Pink Floyd or the like. Shotgun hits with as many girls as possible and a Marlboro box full of pre-rolls....:eyesmoke:

Yup another old guy here, I got more quality weed than I can ever use. When I find a soul Who is medically in need, I give. So why the fuck do I still save roaches?. I compost them after I catch myself in that flashback moment. Welcome to the show bro. :wink:

I started smokin' in 74 and yeah, we licked the $AUD30 ounce bag too.
South Coastal Australia and fortunate that a friend, (before my time, '68) came back from South Africa with an ounce of Durban Poison seed. He effected/infected one or more communities here with great buds..
And yeah, I remember steaming apart blocks of buddha sticks and grinding up compressed heads, all imported. You guys had Mexico, we here had Asia.. for better or for worse.

Thanks for posting on the Colombian Gold and Panama Red, wow back then a 3 finger lid was 30-35$....We had a lot of the Colombian Gold coming to Illinois back then , we didn't get the Panama Red as often but Gold was plentiful most of the time and then there was Mexican Rag weed that would show up at various times it was some nasty stuff as I recall compared to the Gold and Redbud. I cant imagine how many seeds and stems we threw out. Thank you for posting the info, a delight in reading it. :weed:

When I started growing, Late 70s, an older stoner friend just gave me a 1/2 gallon wine bottle which was 2/3rds full of 10 years of bag seed from who knew where. Worked well to learn on. Once in a while, a magic plant would appear and, aw shit maybe I can reveg it. Then came cuttings and training. He set me down a path of adventure, education, paranoia and total independence. God loves ya Harry, peace.
