Candy Canaday!
I remember the long gas lines. There was a gas station half a block from the high school. A couple times my history teacher threw me the keys to his VW bug and $10, my class was right before lunch, he told me to take his car and get in the gas line, he’d come and get in line after class! Got an A in that class!

Reagan was president, post it notes were invented and John Lennon was shot

 

[Vegan4life]

Eisenhower was outgoing president, JFK became president. JFK established the Peace Corps. George Harrison turned 18, John Lennon turned 21. Barack Obama and Eddie Murphy were both born. @Savvage61 we must have been born the same year, as indicated in your name...

back in the 80's to most of us a strain was something you did to your back when you twisted it or lifted something to heavy

 

[Nunyabiz]

Yeah, pretty much weed was simply classified by place of origin.

 

[Savvage61]

yep, Columbian, Mexican, Jamaican 15 bucks a lid (3/4 of oz )and the high dollar weed top shelf $200 an OZ hawian I had a hissy fit when my dealer went from $75 to $90 a QP even the high end was named mostly by the area Columbian Gold and Redbud. BTW on a special note I thought I was one of a few over 60 you guys have brought hope back to me I am far from being one of the oldest member. some of you saw 'REEFER MADNESS:" on the premier night at the theater Im still a spring chicken lol Just Kidding My utmost respect for older stoners the Goverment had you in the same class as Charlie Manson (well there was ole Timothy Leary ) if you smoked weed you were right up there with heroin addicts Being a outlaw is not easy and that's is what they did they made good people evil outlaws teamed up with commies when all ya cared about was Drugs , sex and Rockin roll I still am devoted to 2 of them still love my weed and Rock n Roll will never die and thank God for those little blue footballs lol
