Great story. The only thing missing from it is that you married the girl. Raised a family. And are still living happily ever after...got the makings for a screen play............

you think popy is hard to grow ??

Poppies are easy to grow, but harvesting them isn't so easy, takes practice and a light touch... and you need a whole lot to get anything worth having.

I'm 74, retired, and having a ball with my second grow. Did my first in the 70s when almost NO info was available. Can't believe how much information is available to the novice grower now. Had to give up weed in the 80s (job related) but after retirement no more problems with job requirements SO here we go again. I have NO intention of ever giving it up again. The only thing negative about it is the stupid law that makes it illegal in my state. I can buy all the alcohol I want legally but not weed. The problems associated with alcohol consumption are HUGE compared with weed use but the laws stand. Hopefully we'll have an enlightened Govt. some day, if we survive the corruption in our present administration, that will decriminalize weed and we'll all dump the guilt.

55 and retired. I also got my first 4 finger "lid" in 69. All my friends older brothers were coming home from Nam and teaching us how to get high. I've talked my wife into letting me farm my own smoke after she went along for the ride to the dealer the last time I purchased. My grow is 3 X 4 LED grow. 1-Sour Jack Fem 1-White Widow Fem and Blueberry Gum Fem. I'm a Florida Spacecoast resident. Good thread .

Im 56 and been smoking for over 35 years on and off. At one time or another I have been involved in many aspects of selling growing and smoking . Have to keep it hidden now been in to much trouble in the past just because I love my smoke.
Was in the army in the early 70s when lots of soldiers were coming back from Nam . Tai stick was so abundant and hash ,weed an a few other things. Bought a kilo of smoke once with a seal in the middle made of pure opium that said Providence Of Mesh Mi Cann on it. Could go on and on but seems we all had a pretty dam good time. I did hit some bumps in the road but life goes on.

Guess I'll share my first time! Went to see Van Halen in 76 with 4 good buddies. Picked up a hitchhiker going to the concert too. The first thing my craziest buddie ask was if he had any weed! Now understand, we drank a lot but until that point, the other 4 of us had made a pack to never "Smoke dope", because, well why do you think they call it dope so the hitchhiker says hell yeah, pulls out a Crown Royal bag, and out of it he pulls a pipe and a bag of weed! Loads the pipe, lights it, and passes it on. Nobody says a word, and everybody hits it. This continues for three bowls. Oh yeah, I'm driving! So still, nobody has said a word until maybe 15 minutes later, everybody except me starts laughing uncontrolably! I ask what the fuck is so funny? They tell me to look behind us and then at the speedometer. There was a line of 20 or so cars behind us and I was driving 15 mph in a 55mph zone I know a lot of people say they don't get stoned the first time, but I got ripped, spent the whole concert walking up to people smoking a joint hoping they would pass it to me, and there has seriously been 12 days since then that I have not gotten high, I have been counting

Passing joints at concerts and the one you got handed back was twice as large. Remember the "power hitter"? The plastic bottle with the " tin man hat" shaped top that you put the joint inside and squeezed the bottle for the shotgun effect. The good ole days for sure
