Old Fogies

[mand]

What happens to the older smokers are there any on here, I seen loads of kids but do we sorta just fade out of sight once we get to a certain age.

Me I have no intention of doing that 25 years of smoking weed and I have been all over the world to do it.....................yet I have always noticed that once past 30 years of age the smoker is shy to be seen.

Tell a lie In Morocco I did smoke some of the finest hash with a group of old guys (all in their 60's), they totally freaked at first about a woman doing such things, but they soon got used to me.

Oh and of course Amsterdam attracts the more mature smoker...........well some of them.

How old am I ..............not saying but I'm a granny.

The photo ...........thats my Moroccian style, well it's custom ;)

Hey fellow old timer. I am 40 and have been lighting up for 25 years. We old timers are like fine wine; we mellow with age. You will find there are quite a few of us here but we are less vocal. P.S. nice pic.

Hello Marko I'm just a bit older than that (only a bit ;) ), I'm really pleased I thought I was the odd one out on here :) .......affaid I've never been the quiet one, I was bought up with 4 older brothers so I had to be vocal to get my way.

Thanks for you're comment on the pic :)

mand, if that's a pic of you, i'd say you look about 20 at most, oh well, you know better than me:)
You certainly don't look older than 40

You're definitly a 'Looker' Mand! ;)

And just like some of the ol' shiners I rock with on the porchs back home, we 'older & wiser'(?) burners learn it's not always wise, especially nowadays, to spout off about our 'relaxation', in the everyday world.
Luckily there are porchs such as this place where we can gather and shoot the breeze with other like-minded free-spiriters!
35+ yrs sparkin' up :D
Keep On Rockin'(in that chair) & Tokin' til that final sunset! :cool:

[mand]

Anyway no more of me ................my next crop I've been assured it's a pretty potent skunk..................I don't grow fancy just cheaply and apart from last time they are usually good crops.

Hi Mand! I Just noticed you're from the UK. I'm glad to see another grower on the forums. Do you know what strain your plants are? What kind of setup do you have? (lights, soil etc). I don't have a fancy setup either, I prefer to keep it simple, it doesn't have to be complicated. My setup is a cupboard which I built from batons and hardboard, it is lit by a 250w HPS and has a bathroom extractor fan and a small desk fan. I grow the plants in multi-purpose compost. The strain I'm growing is Afghani.


Just some pics of my setup-

Well GTC21 (I wish you would have told me a name to use.....Bob would have done :) )

Mine is all very basic :o .............soil home made compost, never buy shop stuff, I have a bin which takes all the garden and kitchen scraps.
Lights 400 watt Metal Halide which I run on a 19 hour cycle for vegative growing. Reducing to a 12 hour cycle for inducing usuing a High Pressure Sodium bulb .............eventually reducing down to 11 hours light over time.
I start induding at about 24 inches.
Noramally I have ok results but the last crop just got wiped out...........some kind of blight is the only reason I can think of, up untill then I have 6 years of trouble free growing.
This variety I am not sure they come from some one I trust who assures me it is very good skunk.

By the way I have grown Afghani before.......very nice :)

peace

[onwardthroughthefog]

Mand, I agree with the others......you're a lovely lady no matter how young you are.

I'm another over the hill toker. Been doing so for about 30 years.

I agree that the boards are full of kids who could be our grandchildren. But that's okay. Most of them are much like we were at that age, and they are already aware of many things that will help them in life as they grow older. And if they choose to heed the advice of us classic tokers, they will enjoy NOT making the mistakes we made.......or at least enjoying them if they do. :D

Onward

[likemclever]

Well, I'm 30 and I hope I look half as good as you do when I'm your age.

Nice to have you arround.

[Beeblebrox.420]

Another fogie toker checking in. I will be 40 in a few days. Smoke on! :D

[DonnieDarko]

There are plenty of mature members here, most have young souls... I'm 48, smoked bigtime till around 28, stopped cold when kids were getting aware, and started again in last few years, just occassionally, and on the DL, because of job.

[LOTTABEADZ]

Well, well, well, old foggies..hmm. I think I qualify. The people I know from college and or back in the day haven't quit. When you work and make enough money to buy chronic, you don't particularly want to get arrested.
We are underground. Janis was wrong, freedom is NOT "nothing left to loose".

The main reason most stop, and not by choice, is no connect.

So, if you know you're going to stop smoking in the future, maybe you should stop now.

[duppy man]

Big 50 looming hi mand you look great...I have 6 kids from 14 to 30 7 grand kids and still toke every day only weed only ever weed I can't stand the smell of cigs

[IrieAllie]

Just hit my 35th this month :) Fun to watch the younger ones, and remember "back in the day"!!!! I remember HATING my parents (whom I DEARLY love now!!!), saying I would NEVER be like them, and on and on. If I could be 1/2 as a good a parent as mine were, I'm set :)

Hey Allie, Happy belated birthday!! I'm 35 too and know exactly what you mean. It's easy to hate your parents when they're providing everything for you. Bills, a mortage, and a lil' critter calling you Daddy (or Mommy) really puts things into perspective though.

[4252]

Hi Mand,

I'm 53, started in 1968. I also grow, as you do, not with a lot of tonnage or flashy name brands, but for personal use and the satisfaction of working with the plants. Started growing in '85.

I think it seems like the population here is so young because, well, mostly they are, and they also tend to be more vocal than us mature types, like many of us were at that age.

[mand]

Hello :) ........Thankyou so much everyone for all the great replies to this thread ..........Thankyou, I really was just about ready to slope off, as I thought "christ I am just to old for this place" but after reading these replies I'll stick around if thats ok :)

Can I remember what it was like to be a kid?.................Course I can, really awfull :o ...........like I said I was the baby sister to 4 overprotective brothers, It was the punk era and I just wanted to be wild but they had other ideas, mind you I still had fun though :)

Thankyou guys .......I think you're all fantastic...........love mand xxx :)

Another old codger here â?? just sitting in my rocker with my jackknife and whittlinâ?? a new corncob to music from albums on vinyl (some from 78's). The vacuum tubes in my audio equipment warm these old bones very comfortably.

Mand, I'm sorry to see your thread get sidetracked, and wanted to let you know that it's good to have you here, and that this kind of thing doesn't happen too frequently. You seem to be pretty knowledgeable, and it'd be good to hear some more about you and your adventures.

I'm with the other guys; you do look pretty good. What is "slap" exactly?

[larry]

All i do is tease you once in awile

What is wrong with that nowhereman?

[Beeblebrox.420]

Being abusive is not teasing - think about how others might perceive your thoughtless remarks before you post them. So, cut it out. If you have an issue with NowhereMan, I strongly suggest you work it out via email. Do not post anything off topic in this thread again.

I know those feelings so well NowhereMan............the years have just flown by, my kids all grown up, my daughter has given me a grandson and aged me by many years, but she is ok and has a real good man to look after her.
My two sons are still living at home, my god are they full of themselves, the male ego it's so dam obvious, it's so much macho testosterone filled bullshit :rolleyes: but don't we girls love it :)

However I have still got a lot of this world to see yet and people to meet so I won't given in just yet.
Also I need to find the time to get high many, many more times yet ;)

Notanovice, hello :) ........it's absolutely great to hear from so many totally commited smokers :) , you hear so many people say "oh weed, yeah I used to smoke a bit years ago", but not many actually take on board the lifestyle that goes with it. Ok I've had to play the straight woman many times in bussisness when making a living for my family and myself, but christ the times I've been in these meetings totally high and got away with it.

I must admit I love the weed and the people who are into the lifestyle that it brings, they are the best :)

smoking is a event to be celebrated by all bless you all

[heartsurgerysurviver]

Good to see so many "older" tokers. i'm getting near 50 and i've been smoking since my teens, god i feel old now, lol.

Nota you long haired , hippy, pot smoking fisherman, Grey? you have grey hair LMAO , no way. An easy going guy like you never gets grey hairs, you give them LOL.

Torog, How are things? I think it'd be close in the number of grey hairs betwen you, nota and me. I might just win that one . LOL
You're right " old stoners rock" but i think it's us older ones that have to teach the young ones how to " rock" . lol

Nowhereman yes, i think i'm well past the half way point , probably 75-80% through it. Let's just hope the best is still ahead of us or at least the best partying. LOL

Mand, welcome to this board, keep your hands and feet in this ride at all times , lol

Im 27.You are very pretty and if you are really over 40 you doing great and look like you have looked after yourself well.My brothers are your age they are all more than 10 yrs older than me and there wifes also smoke weed and enjoy a good time.Your never too old to have fun.

[Teela39]

I'm 40 and have been smokeing over 25 years. I think we just mellow with age getting high at 40 is no way the same as getting high when I was in my teens and early 20's.

I remember being so messed up from smoking a joint when I was younger, now I smoke daily go to work, drive and function perfectly normal. I find it fun to smoke a big bowl just before a business meeting and sit there in my own little world while the rest of my co-workers do not have a clue. If I tried that in my 20's I would have been fired for sure:)

[4252]

I like to keep business and pleasure apart; one usually messes up the other. If I'm stoned all of the time, it feels like I'm stoned none of the time, eventually. Having said that, I used to do exactly as you do, Teela, so please don't regard this as criticism, just a different point of view.

[jacquelyne]

Thats pretty cool most people in there 40's that i know tell me it was much weaker back then as now we only smoke hydro here because not many people grow outdoors whereas back then hydroponics was just not happening so they relied on big fat natural juicy buds.I think skunk or some afghani stuff was what my older brothers were smoking and usually grown by someone outdoors.I have only tried natural outdoor weed once or twice and it seemed to be much weaker even though it did smell and look better than most hydro.
