Today I was "issued" something very cool...

[Strainhunter]

During my visit here in Fla today I visited with an older guy (well in to his 80's) who was sort of my mentor while I grew in Fla a while back.

He gave me something from his "old days" he has been holding on since.



While he was giving it to me he was holding back tears and said:

"Here I got something for you, it's from my wild days".



I will frame this and keep it forever!

PS:
Sadly he once was convicted to 25 years but "only" had to spend 8 years.

That is a bad ass gift, cherish it. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! That is cool SH. Sounds like a cool old man too.

 

[HighDesertJoe]

NICE

Cool piece of history.
I would love to know the politics and story behind what it took to get a stamp like that then. Your friend must have had serious political connections or just had the balls to apply for the stamp!
Thanks for sharing

 

[habeeb]

that's amazing. sweet.

 

[Vesuvius]

nice chiunk of mj history

 

[Haps]

Very cool

 

[crazybear]

Very cool, I wonder how many were issued, my understanding was you couldn't get a tax stamp without having some cannabis but having the cannabis without the stamp was of course illegal a real catch 22!

 

[PorkSword]

ya gotta tell the story behind it for sure!

 

[Iraganji]

Holy crap! That's super cool man. Sort of like snatching the pebble out of the masters hand, so to speak, and receiving his praise. Cool gift. Your mentor sounds like a cool cat.

 

[Tonatiuh]

nice gift fasho.
frame and hang for sure.
peace-T-

What an original score! Quite a cool chunk of history for a cannabis lover to have and pass down.

 

[Guest 18340]

That is so cool! I'd frame that and hang it proudly.

Very very very cool. Does he still grow? If not I hope you hook the old pothead up son!!

Have that dude write down some of his stories and post them here for the growing community!!! Like what was the scene like back then etc.

Who was he hustling to in the 50s, was he into the beat scene, jazz scene, art scene, etc?

Dude all kinds of questions...

 

[dubwise]

man that is very cool! I love the idea that dislexus has.....that would be real cool. Thanks for sharing.

 

[SirTOKESalot]

the good old days.

 

[Strainhunter]

Well...he wants to see me again so I am going to stop by there tomorrow.

I know the answers to the questions asked by you guys and will address those with him to see if it is OK with him to post them here.

He has been in a lot of trouble around the 70's and might just want to be left alone about the details so I don't know what he will say.

 

[Dislexus]

I'm talking pre-hippies! I've been plenty exposed to the 70s, late 60s stuff.

Like 1949-1965. Any weed scene bullshit that we exchange on here, but back then

I bet he will want to get it out there... he has a grower's ego still I'm sure haha

If you got Netflix I can highly recommend watching "Square Grouper"...
