I bought my first bag of pot in about 1973 in Bowling Green, Ohio we came to terms for $7.00 for a 4 finger bag of Mexican weed. A few years later(can not remember the year) my "guy" had about 200 of these red cellophane wrapped 1LB bars of hash. When I opened the cellophane there was a powder stamp on the center of the slab. An AK 47 surrounded by the words, help free Afghanistan, they were amazing, purchased two of them for I think $60.00 per pound. I took Polaroid photo's of the bricks but the photo's were lost in either a flood or a broken romance.
That would have been around 77 to 79, in SW Ohio. We would put "chunks" on a pin under a glass, and cough our lungs out.
At about 1300 hrs we spotted a Coast Guard cutter. He came close enough to scope us out good, but not too close to get in our lines. We waved and smiled and stuff and they gave us three air horn blasts and went on. Our holds were full by 1500 and the wind was picking up and we figured we better get out asses into the bay before the 'potato patch' got gnarly and we'd have to spend the night at sea anchor. About half way in my buddy at the helm spotted a large black object floating ahead. We approached slowly and I was able to get a hand on it and it took both of us to get it in the boat. It was the shape of a bale of hay and it had been wrapped in heavy black plastic. Not garbage bag stuff, but real heavy duty plastic.
We cut it open (not easy) to find a couple of layers sealed with good duct tape. Finally got inside and found ... Thai Stick. Yes. We never weighed it - but I bet there was 40 kilos of very high quality, compressed Thai.
The plane was making smuggling drops and there was prolly a boat like ours out there picking them up, and the USCG was looking for it.
We made it all the way back to port with our 'find'. We called it 'sea weed'. LoL.
We were both very popular guys for quite a while.
If we'd of been caught by the Coast Guard, well, I'd just about be getting out of jail about now.
If we'd of been caught by the smugglers ... I'd of been dead for the last 40 years. (Lost at sea)
Neither one of us ever told ANYONE where we got it.
This is the first time I ever told that story in a public forum.
The statute of limitations is over for the smuggling beef - and the smugglers (if they're still alive) can have my wrinkled up old ass if they want it.
Sea Weed.
Ah, those really WERE the days.
How in the HELL did I live through my youth? Seriously.
I remember in the mid 70's when I first came to California I was living in Mendo County and for a brief period there was some real kick ass thai stick going around that allegedly came from bales that some lucky individuals found floating in the ocean or washed up on the beach somewhere...at least that was the legend going around. Gots ta wonder if it was yer weed that made its way north or another fortunate find from the same smuggler.
Those were some damn good days to be living in N. California
I would go back to being 25 again. A young, strong alpha buck in the 1970's ... I would go back there in a heartbeat. I didn't know how good I had it.
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
