High from Phoenix

I kind of lurk around here living vicariously through all the growers and such (one day, after I get my kids raised I will be one, too). Not sure I really belong, as I'm not a typical pothead. I have only a couple of friends who smoke anymore, and my employer is emphatically against drugs (but lucky for me doesn't random test). I recently moved (back) to Phoenix after a couple of (wonderful) years in California where I had a great doctor, a cannabis recommendation and access to great bud at the various bay area co-ops. While I was in CA and had a steady daily supply, I finally quit smoking cigarettes, got myself in shape, and had a great work experience. Now that I am in Phoenix, my recommendation is worthless, the bud, when available, is generally worthless, and my work (which, although I'm with the same employer, now involves traveling every week) pretty much sucks. Luckily the quitting cigs thing has stuck.

It is frustrating that Arizona has passed a law that legalizes cannabis prescriptions, but provides no mechanism to make it reality. In the meantime, it's still a big deal to get busted here, and I live in constant fear. It's also (maybe because I'm older) nearly impossible to score on Mill Ave. like it used to be, even just to get some cheap Mexican brick weed.

Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad. But as far as cannabis goes, Arizona can't compare to California. One day it would be great to grow a medicinal crop in Arizona, but it will take a lot of work to make it happen.

:thumbsup: WELCOME TO THE SITE,,,,:dance:

Spleafer!

Heya, I'm around you. Weed this time of year sucks because we mainly get it from, as you said it, mexico. It's all brick packed bullshit.

106 is the high tomorrow!

How often do you blaze?

Hey Grim,

I'm a daily smoker when I have it, few times a day, actually. Yeah, it's hot alright, spending it all in the pool this long weekend.

yeah, i hear that a lot too but it's not all bad. i live a bit east of you down highway 60 half the year (snowbird) and my mostly mexican neighbors seem amazed at what we're growing but still insist on their brick cuz it's so cheap. but it is around and it won't be long until you find a steady supply, i'm sure. or road trip up to vegas and i can show you the sites (during the summer/fall anyway)...but i visit the hayden house thru the summer every 6-8 weeks and have to drive thru phx to get there so drop me a line and one way or the other perhaps we can hook up and have a beer somewhere...?

Nice to meet you all. I'm a newbie myself. Lived in the valley for 20 years and my "only" source took an ugly meth journey that led to treatment twice before it stuck. Well anyway being an old dude in my 50's, I have done alot of whining for the past 6 months with no smoke. Bring back the good days!
