Coming out of the shadows

Hi. I'm a 66 yr-old Nam vet, on Social Security, Medicare and a Colordo MMJ license holder. Well, I will be a license holder once Colo state gov gets its stuff together:fsu:. They're the biggest noobs around right now, and funny to watch. That ineptitude is why I'm not incredibly paranoid, relying on fed programs AND in a database as using a federally illegal drug.

I first smoked in 1959, in the alley behind a burlesque house on Baltimore's Block, with some black musicians that were the house band. A tiny, twisted pin joint of who-knows-what. 16, I'd been dared to sneak in; of course, took the dare. Got caught by band member. Laughed like hell at me, took pity. Smoking pot, then backstage while Gypsy Rose Lee was performing. And I saw the gloRY OF GOD IN THE BODY OF WOMAN AND WAS LOST FOREVER!!!!!:yoinks:

I was 16. Near-as-makes-no-difference naked women, hot sweaty atmosphere. Pot. It was a religious experience, for sure. That night's my excuse for my path of damnation.

I was lucky(?) enough to be in Thailand when Nixon resigned and you could buy Thai sticks openly, it's a cooking spice, got my entire squadron stoned one night with Thai stick soup (well, chicken with special seasoning - 4 oz dope in a cheesecloth bag during the whole simmering process, drove the dogs crazy when Noy threw it over the fence) at a huge meal my girlfriend and I threw. And then in Hawaii during Maui Wowee craze, with grower friends on the big island.

And then I was out of the scene forever except casual rec use, late night deals in parking lots, never knowing what you're getting just glad to get any thing at all.:hide:

Got my MMJ license in Oct 09, thus the sig. I still regard the whole thing as bizarre, I never thought I would be able to legally buy pot in my lifetime, even with a special niche. Not complaining, ya know, glad to come in out of the dark.

I'm a political junkie with a cynical, jaundiced view that skews populist, a limited budget and a deep desire to grow enough for myself in a perpetual micro stealth harvest in my small apartment.

Soooo, - I'm gonna go back to lurking in the grow threads, dreaming and planning. See ya around.

Welcome !!

Thai sticks from the 70's, I would love to see one now. I don't think we had a clue at the time how unique that stick was.

I remember we joked that 2 hits was to much so we always took 3.

Thanks for making me think about that again.
