Wow, hi. - Old Stoners Crash Pad - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Man I just knew there had to be thousands of old stoners out there, besides me and a couple of my old buddies. I started smoking back in '68, I think. I quit toking in '85 cause I was in the AF and it was just a matter of time before golden flow got me plus my wife didn't like "happy smoke" (Korean) and asked me to quit. She passed last year (Feb. '06). I started growing Blueberrys last summer and got a couple Skunks going now. I retired from the AF in 2001 and got a teaching degree. But this damned degenerative disk disease thing I have is unpredictable and wipes me right out sometimes. So I live on my retirement and a SS disabilty check. Somebody else here said they live in the boonies in Florida. I have a couple grandkids 80 miles east of here and my Dad's over in Pensacola 120 miles west, that's why I chose here. Smack dab in the middle. Sorta. But my wife was named ***** and when she saw 5 acres in a town named *****stown it was all over. I was born and raised in central NY. And I saw Humble Pie, Greg Allman, Bob Seger, Yes, J Giels, and many more, even Canned Heat, like some others from here did back then. Wow. "Party on Garth. Party on Wayne."
Man, I've surfed around a lot and actually joined these forums here last year, but I just read this one today. I feel so much better knowing there are so many more just like me out there. I knew it, though. But to read it, is just......great. Some other forums are great but this one's where I feel most like everybody else. I started reading to about page 10 here, then noticed there are 254 more pages. Damn. COOL. I'm gonna go vape another bowl and this one's dedicated to all us "older but wiser" stoners. BY the way, names and prices are so much different now. But better I think. We only had metal bowls back then. Yuck. And vape? What the hell is that? Just last week my friend said he didn't have any idea what a grinder was first time he heard it. Now I got 2. But I still don't see much about doing shotguns. "Kids these days" might see it as queer or something. Most don't have a clue what they are anyway. Man, "youth is wasted on the young" ya know? I'm gonna shut up now. I'm tired of typing and I hear my vape calling me. Thanks.

I skimmed through your NYAP. I imagine Skunk would have to good there. They are tough , prolific, and resilient. I've got some White Widow seeds coming but those babies would just be too finicky for NY weather. I'm really looking forward to them inside though. Then I might do some Northern Lights, another strain I imagine would do good in NY. I'd like to grow some kind of Diesel sometime too but I imagine they might be too touchy for outside NY. Anyway, thanks for looking over my rant.

not necessarilly, JJscorpio has had a great run so far with g13-diesel from head seeds. the late finish of many diesels is bothersome to me in this climate, but the flightly airier buds of the sat leaning phenos should do well against mold. Basic skunk, IMHO would take too long to finish in this climate, or at least my microclimate, as my first hard frost date is extremely variable in my area.
