Well old stoners, how long have you been smoking and what got you started?

8th grade, before a dance.... LOL I can remember it like yesterday. Although, I did not get high the first time. That night, in a buddy's garage..... got high as hell.... Got the giggling, paranoia...etc. It was probably Mexican. Although I remember we used to get the Golden Buds that were seedless and we called Golden Bud... I also remember getting Thai Stick a few times from an older fella who was in the National Guard...

Smoked like a fiend for the next eight years... until 1980, when the USMC started operation Golden flow... (Urinalysis). Then it was MAYBE a total of 1/8 oz per year until I retired in 98....

I then picked up right where I left off! :smile: As a matter of fact, I just returned from a little camping trip up in the Smokey Mountains. I met up with BooBoy (OG MOD) and we had a GREAT time, kicking back, fishing for trout, and sampling a few different strains...

OG KUSH, Rockstar, Jack Herers White Widow, Nevilles Haze and some other "home-made" genetics.

I am heading over to Kryptonite's farm in a couple of days.... Then up to the Upper Penninusula of Michigan for a week or so.....

I love marijuana.... :yes:

Well, must admit I haven't read this whole thread.

Started smoking at age 15, --- so that makes.. hmmmm...38 years. A few breaks here and there, but pretty much smoking either a little or a lot the whole time (there's more stories to tell, but not here :yoinks: )
What got me started? the usual, friends smoking and telling me how far-out it was.

Recently kicked my old pleasures up a notch, thanks to several reasons, people, and sources; not the least of which is Gypsy's SD!! - hey, thanks again!

So cool to be your own "quality control" manager.. :biglaugh:

Sometimes I think about being 15 (or "young" and stoned), and it blows my mind - all the things we did and enjoyed :sasmokin:

Here's to 38 more years :joint: - not that I'm too likely to make it that far :frown:

Donny

ps, sorry for all the silly smilies, just playing with 'em.

I probably forgot that I already posted here. :D

I was about 14-15 and we got a joint somehow and took a ride on a rock-o-plane ride at a carnival called "The Pickeral Tournament". We laughed our asses off and I never forgot how the weed had enhanced my fun for the first time. That must have been in about 1968. BOG I was a regular pothead at 15 yrs old. Ever since every day except for one week when i quit after tripping out on acid.

OK, now, looks like I'm hailing from the #1 tokin state in the USA...Massachusetts. Been smokin the herb here since my teens, which is the early sixties. I'm 5 shy of sixty, now. F*ck, I don't believe I actually said that. Damn, time moves on.
Personally, I firmly believe this plant is sustaining my longevity. Have been knowingly living w/a deadly diease for 20+ yrs. So, I'm of the 'tude...if it aint broke, don't f*ck w/it. In this case, its my lifestyle, smokin herb regularly, among other things. Don't do drugs, though. Put that stupid sh*t behind me decades ago. Have been so much better for it since.
Just give me ma plant!!!
I want to give a big thanks to everyone here at ICMAG, and kudos to OG and its OGers, and a couple other sites, for helpin me get started w/cultivating this wonderful plant and being part of a cool kindred spirit.
And to Cap....I'm a big fan of yours.
Later All,

Succes w/ya grow.
Stay safe.

Watch em grow!!! :canabis:

Started at 13...my cousin, (who unfortunately is now a serious junkie :bat: ...heroine, coke, pills etc. :confused: ) got me started on the herb. That would be almost 24 years now...I'll be 37 this sept. :yoinks:

Never messed with any harder stuff, liked the herb too much and figured the rest was for losers who did not know any better...turns out I was right, just look at my cuz. :pointlaug

smoked everyday for a looong time...built up a resistance, and it took more and more to get high. So I quit for a while, started over, and was able to get my buzz easier. :wink:

Since we moved from MO to TX, haven't been able to find any, so of course that left us with one option...growing our own...Stankbud is doing the growing, and a mighty fine grow it is, if I do say so... :woohoo: and truthfully, we're too damn old to go out looking for it...too dangerous. :fsu:

Hey Guys... Im in the U.P. of Michigan. I left the trailer at Krypto's farm and drove up here without the extra weight.... I had a GREAT time at the farm!

Krypto grows some of the finest Cannabis I have ever tasted. He had a few nice balls of hash that had been sitting "curing" for over a year and they were probably the SMOOTHEST I have EVER tasted...

I'll probably hang here for a week or so and then I'm headed back down to the farm and spend a week or so... I think I may head down to the Keys after that....

Gypsy - You ought to be on this "Road Trip" this summer with me.... I just may never stop traveling! LOL

Ya'll keep those stories coming and most importantly, STAY SAFE! :wave:

I remember it well,
It was 1971 or 72, and led zepplin 2 was fresh on the turntable, my sisters album, the folks were gone for the day.Just out in the stores, and my first time hearing the mighty zep.
The doorbell rang, sis got it. it was her friend from highschool. Pretty soon another ring, then pretty soon im into zepplin so much im not paying attention anymore.
Three or four people gathered around by now, they were waiting for "wayne" to show up. My sister casually throws a lid on the coffee table, plop. Im sittin there eyeing it.
She says "what". I look at the pot. She asks, "Do you know what that is" I AM exited by now , "Yeah, Ha ha I sure do, That's pot"
She rolls a few and we go outside, wayne shows up while we are burning the first one. After the third duber, they start tossing me around and calling me "budweiser" I was only 9 or 10 and they played catch with me. I couldn,t stop laughing, that's why they called me budweiser- i was stoned so bad i couldn't walk straight. And them big ol highschool boys were messin with me throwing me five six feet across to another big boy.
How could I forget that one....My first sesh.

For me it was the last day of school. I had just completed the last dayof 10th grade,and a friend asked me if I wanted to try it. Celebrate what the hey. Smoked it on the bleachers out back of the gym. 31 years ago this past may.You slightly older stoners surely remember the huge $25.00 , 35.00 lids of weed that rocked your world. Red
Bud was the first. Been searching for good bud ever sense.

Yeah man I lived in San Diego, near the border,Lids of regular commercial or "commerch Michcan" (commercial michoacan) or mexi were still ten bucks for 3 1/2 to 4 fingers. The mexican redhair (what you call redbud) was $25.00 and got you way stoned, but had a draggy burnout to it.
Then there was chocolate columbian, 40 to 45 dollars an ounce. I would ride my bicycle through blistering heat to score a 1/4 for 10 bucks, and i could get lids of regs next door.
Had to have my chocolate, from about age 13 to 15 that was my routine for the "score" From 11 to 13 I was selling dubers of regs for 25 cents, 43 to 48 dubers to a lid. I'd get my ten bucks for another lid,and 3 or 8 joints. Three or 8 joints would last all week back then.

I was around 14 or 15 so that was about 18 years ago.

Not too long ago I suppose.

My best friend and neighbor was older than me and had two older brothers. They all ran with the "fast crowd".

Anyways he had this oxygen mask attached to a big ol' bowl. I had smoked weed before but never truly got buzzed like what I was going to be in for.

He had a bag of columbian gold and panama red and wanted me to smoke a bowl of each.

Well I did and brother, riding my bicycle back home was a trip. Everytime I blinked my eyes it felt as if I would go backwards 20 ft. Weird, I'll never forget it.

It was about 30 or so years ago that I first started ...Always hung out with my older brother...Every Friday night we went to the tennis courts and all hung out and smoked herb. Didn't know half the peeps that were there.There was so much columbo and hash going around you had your pick. And for sure there was Panama red going around too.Then moved to Florida and started growing outdoors. The stuff just grew so fast. But we always had to look out cause someone was out there stealing herb. But was a whole lot better indoors as long as u told no one....The good old seventies.and eighties too...Am I getting that old. hmmmm Peace...Peach&LOB

First Time I Got High or God, I Love The 70s

First Time I Got High or God, I Love The 70s

The first time I got high on cannabis was in 1978, I was thirteen years old and had just started the final week of junior high. I was standing around behind the cafeteria, after eating lunch, when my homeboy Eddie came up and asked me if I wanted to get high. I'd never smoked anything before in my life, and the thought of smoking a joint gave me visions of the stuff the "coach" would show us during health class [man, coach Jasso was cool. He would always show us the trippiest movies about drugs in his class]. "Alice in acid land" and various pot related govt. health flicks were usually what we got to see in his class. At any rate, we didn't get to smoke at that moment because the assistant principal came up behind us and started with the usual "gentlemen, what are we up to today?" shit he always used on everyone. Eddie gave me the joint after school and I took off to hang out with my brother and his friends, I put the joint away and forgot all about it. It was about 6:00 pm and we were sitting behind the local Winns in my brothers Mercury when the conversation turned to beer and cannabis. After about fifteen minutes of shooting the shit, I remembered I had that joint my homeboy gave me. So being thirteen and wanting to show off, like all teenage boys do, in front of the older guys, I pulled out that fat joint and asked them if they wanted to get stoned. It was academy award winning stuff man [the fronting, that is] I acted like I'd been smoking the "mota" for years [my bro knew I was full of shit, but said absolutely nothing]. It was about 6:45 when we lit that joint, everyone in the car was taking huge hits off this "toque" and marveling at how smooth and tasty this weed was [spicey peppery taste, like a cross between fresh ground pepper and "red hots"]. We finished and everyone [especially me] was feeling annihilated. I got out of the car and went for a quick walk around the little shopping center we were parked behind and noticed how clearly I could hear everything around me. It was one of those windy afternoons [not a soul in sight, except for my bro and his friends behind the shopping center] when it's still light out by 7:30, all hazy and dusty with all sorts of trash dancing around in the currents and eddies of the wind and the sun is throwing those oranges and purples on the Western horizon. So I'm walking along in slow motion [like the scene in "Half Baked" where they all smoke for the first time and go into the convenience store] with this paper sack following along beside me while it's being blown along by the wind. All this time I've got Deep Purple playing inside my head and it bordered on the edge of being an honest to goodness "auditory hallucination". I finally made it home while tripping balls out along the way. I ended up watching "Chilly Willy" [ I sure love that little penguin] on cable and eating lots of pork rinds with hotsauce, totally tripping on the old Gerald cable box with its blender buttons and long ass skinny cord that ran to that other box on the TV set. Two weeks later school was out for the Summer and I was headed to Oaxaca to meet my cousins and the rest of my family down South for the first time, the rest is "history" as the saying goes.
