Would like to hear from old timers like myself - the 70s

Thanks for the question. And Greetings from Ukraine again. I think that the rains is usefull for good growings. You can use rain for sad look of your Plant. I'm use for that purpose Spray-Bottle, You can unscrew the cap little and push it. Drops will hit the leafs and light will enter to the hidden zones. But Better to do this in the washbowl i think (you can make holes in it with help of hot prod) . For Economy of water at first, and you didn't need to hit you Plants too often.

last 5 years legal and full LLC company in Oregon. In 40 years i never one time got busted by the police, last Oct the feds raided our warehouse grows and cut down our crop two times taking all my equipment and bank accounts, even thought we are total legal doing every thing they have told us to do. I am really questing weather we should shut down and just go back under ground?

Our government is out of control. It is truly "us vs. them" now. And you know who's fault it is dontcha? It's ours. We the people allow this government to operate like thugs.
The 'police authorities' are simply gang bangers. If you think of a cop as a gang member you'll have a better time of it. Just like a gang member there are good ones and bad ones, but they are all after the same thing - money and power. Cops and thugs look for the money. That is what they are after.

I remember, as a teen, watching a documentary about the allies fire bombing of Dresden during WW2. It was horrible, and done on purpose. I commented to my dad (a WW2 vet) how so many innocent people died during that attack, and he said: "Those so called innocent people allowed their government to murder millions of their own citizens. They ALLOWED that. They deserve every bit of what it takes to dismantle that evil." He was right. And, we deserve what we get. We the people created this government, and the police forces.

I have been trolling this thread for some time and thought I would contribute.
I grew up in NYC in the 70's In Harlem.
There was this spot called De Hardest Hard on Lenox ave.
In those days you and were buzzed in. There was Jamaican music playing loudly in huge bass bottom speakers outside.
Once inside it was as dark as a movie theater with tinted plexiglass between "who" was serving you.
They used to reach into huge wooden barrels where the prepackaged smoke was.
The most popular flavor they had was something called 'chunky black' and super gold. One or two hits and you were coughing up a lung.
Resin all over joint tips and fingers. (No blunts back then)
For twenty bucks (I used to roll what I needed to smoke and sold the rest to my homies) you had a bunch of smoke back then.
No plastic baggies, they used those small mustard colored manila pouches with the flap that folded over sealed with tape.
We used to smoke our herb in the last car of the number 2 or 3 train on our way to Times Square to watch Karate movies or the occasional porn flick.
Two quick stories, I once smoked this stuff with rock legend David Lee Roth in Central park in 1979. No shit.
One time, me and my homies went to the porn theater to take pictures with porn goddess Vanessa Del Rio.
True story, she sat in my lap. I would have the pics till this day but my wife accidently threw it out shortly after we were married (yea right!).
The Times Square area in those days were seedy and a bit dangerous. A great place for a teenager like me to learn about life. LOL

Sorry y'all
I got a little carried away with my previous post after reading it!
It doesn't really describe in detail the herb of the 70's in my experience.
So in this post I will be a bit more descriptive.

Chunky Black: This is the herb that made De Hardest Hard famous. Its rumoured to be an afgan indica that had a strong coffee like hashy smell.
The smoke had a taste that was thick and full. Coffee smell and liquorice hint on your tongue. Then the smoke would expand your lungs and you would cough but NOT cause it was harsh,but because of the heavy smoke and resin on your lips tongue and fingers! Man I could smell it now!
In appearance the bud was a dark green and dense. Sh&t is was near black hence the name chunky black.
It was seeded of course but so resinous and sticky.
This is about the time I was skateboarding in Central Park in the summer of 79' and decided to light up a fat spliff. I chose the location carefully. One where I had smoked before. So its the top of these huge rocks that over looks a trail where the bike paths are and joggers. Giving me a nice view if the po-po rides thru (cars or bikes) and they smell the Chunky Black!
So I sat down indian style and cleaned the nickle bag inside my baseball cap. Rolled me a perfect spliff style joint.
I placed the joint in my hat and reached for my headphones to turn on my Walkman.
I sat facing with my back against the side of the big rock that is VERY difficult to climb.
In fact you had to be pretty damn athletic to even contemplate that route, you would simply get to the top of this rock by taking the street level, exactly where I was facing.
So anyway, I light the spliff. Put my shades on. Tilt my cap and start jamming.
About 3 maybe 4 mins go by when I hear someone climbing up the sheer side of this big rock.
I look over and its some white dood with his hair in a pony tail,wearing shades,leather gloves with the fingers cut off and some sweat pants/funky tight fitting tie dye shirt with no sleeves on.
He walks over smiling and says "Hi I'm Dave may I smoke with you?"
He takes his glasses off and I recognize him immediately as Diamond David Lee Roth, lead singer of great American band known as Van Halen.
DLR sat down and we smoked this shit and I listened to him talk about all kinds of subjects for almost 45 mins str8! Hands down, one of the coolest musicians I ever met.
BTW...I gave him the address to De Hardest Hard. Dont know if he ever did go there to cop, but he DID ask me for the address!
That Chunky Black was no joke!

 

[MassMedMan]

a great story, Stage. Thanks for sharing. The original Van Halen is by far my favorite band of all time. Smokn and jokn with DLR.... Very cool brother!!

 

[Stage]

petergreen,
Thanks for listening to my new series: "Herb tales by the fireplace"!
Yea man, I was familiar with his music but I really started to follow them closely from that chance meeting.
Who knew he would go on to be one of the biggest bands on earth? I attended the 1984 album tour at the Garden.

 

[Bangabong]

In the early seventies I hitchhiked from Houston out to the west coast. At one point in my adventure I went to San Francisco and did the Haight Ashbury thing. Just before I decided to head back to Texas, I went to a free concert in the park and one of the bands was the Grateful Dead! From what I can remember, it was a great experience!

About a week or so later, while I was hitching back across the desert in Arizona, I hit a stretch where I hardly saw any cars, much less, got a ride. So while I was walking I thought I heard a semi-truck coming, and just out of habit stuck out my thumb without turning around to look, because I did not think the big rig would stop. But to my surprise, I heard it gear down and it pulled up next to me. The passenger door flew open, a dud with a massive "fro" stuck his head out and waved at me to come on. I ran up, jumped in only to find out these guys were part of the road crew for the Dead and behind them were more trucks and busses with equipment and all of the band members from the Grateful Dead, Moby Grape, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and several other bands, and they were beginning a road tour. The dude that stopped for me said he stopped because he couldn't believe that he was seeing a kid walking along the road so far out in the desert (between Joshua Tree National Park and Phoenix). When we made rest stops it was one big smoke out....good times!!

 

[MassMedMan]

Great story! That must have been something when you realized who all those dudes were,, when in sunk in. I have a friend on the Big Island who tells me great stories about Haight Ashberry.. wish I could have been! Great Saturday night story!!

Great story, Bang Bong! Thanks for sharing it![/COLOR]

adakfooks,
Good stories, ya gotta have more. Go ahead, we got lotsa weed and time on our hands. Besides, my stories are not good for here as my life was spent differently then most.
2 years in Vietnam.
The aftermath.
Over 25 years as a firefighter in a city that, back then to the present has been in the top 10, and sometimes #1, in the country, in the rate of arson. Also has led the country in the highest rate of homicide before. Named the most dangerous city in the country in which to live before. Our governor, in a court case referred to it as "murder city". So my stories are not for here. Later. Peace.

Ya eh rooper...my dad said..."it's only trouble if you get cought"
