Howdy Neighbor. I'm from the ozarks as well. I'm 53 and I've been smokin' since '67', the summer of love.

ive got a question for the "ol' g's", is the weed different now that it was then? is it better? worse?

[ozarksmoker]

yes the smoke of today is about 1000% better than when i started back in 1967, but it is also more expensive, bought my first kilo in 67 for $105.00 , now you can barely by a 1/4 oz for that. so that is why we grow our own .

what he said /\

although, when i was in s. korea back in '71', they had some mighty fine smokin' material. and it was $8.00 a lb., in a silk embroidered pillow case so you could carry it through the gate right in plain sight. they had to know, but i never heard of anybody getting busted.

Welcome to the forums, Ozark. It's nice to see another long time smoker on the site. I hope you'll share some stories with us.

I've been smoking for 30 years, all the way back when a four finger lid ran you ten bucks. Mostly it was referred to simply as Green. When someone called it something like Panama Red or Aucapulco Gold, it was fantastic!!

Ya gotta love California. Good smoke is now more available for me, so I smoke great bud all the time. As expensive as it is these days, IT BETTER BE GOOD!!!:60:

Peace and happiness

I got high for the first time in 1974. I was in 5th grade and my own sister lit me up. Weed was all over the place but I remember when the skunk bud started coming around, also. Mexican, then Columbian gold full of seeds, throw in the occasional Thai stick, Hawaiian gold and panama red, then the green, skunky, piney smelling buds came around. Prices went from $5 to $10 and then to $20 for a quarter OZ. I freaked at the $20 price because bringing home $80 a week was a lot of money for me at the time. Lets see, in 1983 I grossed $13,300 and was able to afford an apartment, food, clothes a car and weed. Welcome aboard, Ozark.

Hey, welcome. . its a great site! I am 32 been smoking since I was 15-16. Long enough to know, but not long enough to have been able to buy 2 fingers worth for $10. . .lol I can't imagine it was very good, but I could be wrong. . lol

[ozarksmoker]

o yes the term " lid" what a fantastic word it was back in the late 60's and early 70's a baggie full of weed for 10 bucks [ yes it was not the best weed ] mostly mexican weed[ very seedy] but it still got you high. we didn't use scales to weigh a bag out , we just filled a baggie and sold it for 10 bucks ,and every body was happy and red-eyed. i smoke my first real good weed in nam in 69 [ they called it thai-stick] very stoney and very cheap, the sticks maybe weighed a 1/4 oz and cost $2.00. but times have changed .STAY HIGH AND REMEMBER ONE DAY WE WILL BE FREE TO SMOKE WHENEVER AND WHEREVER WE WANT. GOD BLESS THE GREEN GOD OF SMOKE.

hey bro do you ever go to schwagstock? if not you should check it out. its a bit of the old days in the ozarks. i'll stone ya out if ya show up :- )

[ozarksmoker]

Not Sure What Schwagstock Is????? Tell Me More About It, I've Got Nothing Better To Do These Days

i hate stealing the thread. so i'll be quick.
schwag is not only a great dead cover band, but they have the spirit as well.
they have an open mic time that you might hear some sub-standard music, but the rest of the music is top notch. last summer george clinton and parliment/funkadelics were there and did a six hour set.

the people are the best part of the event. a 420 campsite would rock.
but then it seems like all the campsites are 420 :- )

I got to see George Clinton once, right before they closed a great small outside venue. . The Robin Dell East. . . really bad area, but I loved that place.
