I'm starting to think I'm older then most of you:scripture:
when i was a younger teenager in the mid '70's circa 1974 ...something special came around and i've never seen it since ... it was RED hash oil ... Deep Red & translucent with thick viscosity Hash Oil ... incredibly fragrant ... the way we used it was to put some on aluminum foil and heat it w/ a lighter from underneath & it would slightly sizzle & then inhaling the vapors w/ a straw , or an empty Bick pen body ...this is called "Chasing the Dragon" it had a unique quality in that the subsequent vapor would EXPAND in your lungs so you had to be careful and take less then you would think , or else


This was Hash Oil that underwent an Isomerization & made by underground chemists & if you dont know what that means please look it up..


Sh*t was DANK ... the rush was amazing


The older you are the less you would find anything of quality especially hash oil. By 1968 it started to show up in my area(Bay Area) but the quality was not the best. Any that lived out in the burbs never saw it.. By 1975 red or yellow oil was around but rarely was it available. 95% of hash oil was black. Some even had a green tinge. Supply and demand, whom ever wanted to pay the big bucks for red oil got it. Most of us did not bother with it. I got a better high from flowers anyway. I preferred the taste from flowers.

I didn't do anything that made it any more special than any other city?. I spent most of my childhood getting high, Getting high motor cross racing , getting high going to concerts. My 1st day on the green was 1973 through 1999 at Oakland Coliseum. I missed a few not many. It was very easy to get drugs..I suspect it was easy in NY.. I've lived most of my live in cali.

When I was in the Marine Corps we had a guy come in and the gunny yelled at him for get a speeding ticket on one of the roads on base. He asked him why he got a ticket for 35 in a 25 zone. The guy looked at him and said I didnt know you could get pulled over on a skate board. My gunny laughed and said use the next road over there are less MP's.

That was on a steep hill.


You know who Gunny is from Mail call? He died recently. Ermey. That was one of my good buddies uncle. He married his moms sister in the Phillipines and brought her here, My pal used to go have Christmas with him on his ranch down in southern Cali. He wanted to have me and my sons go meet him some time. I was always too busy. Ermey loved horses, and cars, and motorcycles, and Christmas was always real big, He was a real good person in real life. A full metal jacket

I saw Full Metal Jacket in the theater when I got out of boot camp in Coronado. Bunch of stuck up Navy guy there. All pissed off because we were laughing during the boot camp scene.

Gunny told my friend he was coming to pick him up to go to diner and he would be right over and his wife and him should be ready. Then a short time later Gunny landed across the street in a helicopter to pick him up. My buddy said he was a real nice guy.

:good:oh yeah,i saw that they had finished paving a brand new bike path up the biggest hill in town...so now there's a buttery smooth way up and down although i bet going down it's way too narrow as it's easy to get up into the high 30's just by coasting...and they are adding a bike lane next to the highway that goes over the pass..

You attempting a facelift on the down side...

I had my fav bands I never missed. When these guys where here I was there. Ozzy ,Led Zep, Van Halen, The WHO, Rush ,Queen. I was 12 years old at my 1st DOTG. My mom dropped me off in Oakland. About a 45m car ride from home. I had to find my own ride home. It was a much better time then what I see kids facing today. Getting rides from strangers was no big deal.
