I remember when,....... - Page 6 - Old Stoners Crash Pad - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

I remember some things......I'm sure I've forgotten a lot of others.

I remember when Mexican was always $10 an oz. The size of the bag varied depending on how much was around.

I remember when they started spraying paraquat in Mexico. Suddenly all pot was Columbian and cost $30-$40 an oz. Strangely, most of it looked and smelled exactly the Mexican. I think a lot of it changed nationalities as soon as it came over the border.

I remember the first green buds I ever saw, in the Fall of 1974, from Salmon Creek in So Hum. $25.00 an ounce.
In 1976 I smoked the first really, really good stuff I'd seen. Indica from So. Hum. The guy who grew it gave me a few seeds. I started them, but when they were a foot tall I left for the summer. I gave my five plants to a friend. When I came back in the Fall I could not believe how they looked, and then later could not believe he was getting $100 for ozs.

I remember guys in Salmon Creek who started forcing plants to show sex and then sold female indica starts 18 or so " tall in the Spring for $100.

I remember the first day they had CAMP raids in NorCal......

I remember growing buds in the mid-80s that were every bit as good as anything I've encountered in the last 10 years. I wish I had access to some of those strains today.

I remember being about 11 years old and my Grandmother coming to stay with us,she took a 4 hour bus ride.I had about 20 small plants in cups in the back yard,maybe 10 inches tall.She saw them and I told her they were tomatoes.So she leaves to go home,and one of my plants is gone.Mom told grandma to take one with her on the bus.So picture a 70 year old woman riding a bus for 4 hours with a pot plant on her lap.

You were 11 and were already growing grass?

I would plant my bagseed in cups outside,then bring the best looking one indoors under a 100 watt incadescent,no timer or nutes,just water.I guess you could call that growing?

Seatbelts were an option on cars

My father claims to remember the grand days of munchies when (apparently) any stoner could go to the convenience store and buy a soda, a bag of chips and a candy bar for under $1.00

What a good time it must have been!
