Getting stoned with your grandfather.

My grandad has Alzheimers and he is a very fun guy to be around. He still thinks it's 1945 and keeps talking about his convertible Packard anbd etc.

One day I had the brilliant idea of getting the old man high. At first I thought I scored some serious bud because the old man straightened out about 70%! "Kids today with their e-pods and i-mail (sssssssp) little bastards the whole lot of them (wooooooooooof). Man, cars today suck did you know that? (ssssssssssp) With their crumple zones and saftey features (woooooof) Back in my day you can hit a tree at 35mph and there was only damage to the tree. I want pancakes. With bacon!"

Needless to say we laughed our asses off. We thought it was monster bud but turns out it was just his reaction to all weed, whether we got kush or krap he still reacted the same. All day long it's the 40's then when he gets stoned he transports back to today. Amazing.

One time he seen me getting our toy poodle stoned and the old man almost pissed himself. He started doing it every time we got high (once a week).

I'm 39 years old, the old man was 89. He died three weeks ago. Yesterday was the first time I got high without him. I started crying. Then started laughing so hard I pissed my pants. The old bastard was cool. Had 9 kids, about 25 or so grandchildren and a few great grand children. They tossed the old fart in a home and he always told me "Don't let them put me in a home Tone, I'll die there." They stuffed him in a home when the Alzheimers started and I came to the rescue. He lived with me for 6 years. I was his favorite grandson (named after him) and on the rare occasion that the other family would come over to visit, he'd tell them all to go to hell. He didn't need anybody except his best "son", Tony. He thought I was his son which really didn't bother me I never bothered to correct him.

Funeral? Only a hand full showed up. Nobody really gave a shit. Only flowers were from me & my kids. Nobody else cared. I was like, WTF people are not disposable. The very blood that runs thru your veins came from his balls. If he hadn't banged the old lady that night, none of you guys would even be here and you can't just throw him away because he is a minor inconveinence to your busy lives. Mutherf.... meh why even bother. They all showed up at the will reading. I met people I never seen before. The old bastard wanted everybody there.

The old man was worth 135K in cash, about 20K in stocks, had a decent size lot in northern california where he owed about 10K in property taxes but it's worth way more then that so no big deal to pay that off. And the old guy had an insurance policy for 20K. He prepaid for his casket, his funeral, his plot next to his woman, even left me an envelope with instructions in his closet. "Son, if you are reading this you are either a nosy little bastard of I've died." Everything went to me & my kids. The will was changed two months after I took him out of the old folks home. Everything was originally going to the home where they put him, but when I came to get him and when he knew he was staying with me, he changed it. Personally I had no clue the old man had cash, wouldn't have made a difference. I don't think I would have loved him more or did anything different if I knew about the money. Maybe I would have screwed it all up if I'd known.

The old mans last words to everybody in the family was "Fuck yous all. Each and everyone of you. :pimp: "

Some might call it elderly abuse, but I personally saw nothing wrong with getting the old man high once a week. The old man really looked forward to our "Poker Night". He may have had Alzheimers and thought we was still in the 40's, but on Friday afternoon the old man would as he would call it Quadruple S (Shit, Shave, Shower, old Spice) and get ready for a night out with the guys.

I really miss him. He did shit his pants on occasion, but I guess that's the way it goes. Gunner Seargent in the ol 33rd. Something like that. Dishonorable discharge for kicking the shit out of his C.O. Nearly killed his Commanding Officer for beating up and picking on his buddy. Did 2 years in a military prison. That was the first story the old man ever told me and at that time I fell in love with the guy. If that's not a stand up mofo I don't know what is. Knew he'd go to prison, knew he'd get discharged, knew it would hit the fan, yet he did it anyway. Personally I would have told my buddy to toughen up and take it like a man. Not the old man, he kicked the ever loving crap out of his C.O. in front of his soldiers and choked him until he passed out. Three other officers had to peel him off of him. Or so he says, for all I know he got caught fut bucking his buddy in back of the latrine.

That was so friggin wrong. Funny. Yet wrong.

Two questions for you guys. I just started smoking not so long ago.

1: I've been doing Kush for a while. White Widow & Purple Haze are also available to me. According to my source, Bubba Kush is the best seller, but is thee a difference in the high from Kush, Widow or Haze? Or is it all basically the same?

2: I am paranoid about the smell! Wife doesn't know and it's a bad example to my kids. Does the smell really stay on you, your clothes, your hair, your beard or is it just my imagination? I can swear 3 hours into it, I can still smell it on my hands, on my breath if I exhale, on my shirt if I smell it. Is it true or just paranoia?

3: I'm really overweight. Sometimes the day after I am still a little high. A friend said it's because I'm fat and THC sticks to fat and sometimes I can just get high for no reason within 24 hours of getting high. I have experienced it, don't know if it's true or not or if it's just my head playing games.

4: I've heard that eating bud gives a longer more mellow high then smoking it? True?

Thanks for letting me rant.

your gramps sounds like a really cool guy, i feel for your loss

awesome story about your gramps. he sounds cool as fuck. R.I.P.

A Packard. LOL.

My grandpa had Alzheimers also . I wish I could have goten him high.

that was an awesome story dude. sorry he's gone.

Yea, really. I mean, you might be worried about smoking him up, but what I see is someone who cared enough to take in and care for an old person instead of placing him in a home. That's a lot. Really, that was a good thing to do :jointsmile:

awesome story man... he sounded like he had a blast with you.. thats something not a lot of people would go out of there way to do... sort of inspiring :thumbsup:


rest in paradise grandad... my next bowl goes to you :jointsmile:

dude you are so awesome your going to heavan for all the nice things you did for him :D .

He'll be waiting up there with a big fat blunt to light YOU up

damn your a cool guy and your grandpa was one of a kind man...

well about white widow, kush, and anything else here's a little help hope it helps...

Every strain has a slight or big difference. Kush has an empowering high. Its not as good as white widow. White widow has a powerful high, it can trully mess u up, and haze well purple haze has a sweet taste and a cool head high. If i wear you try finding some Afghani strains, for example ak-47, or bullrider. If u are really looking for a body high try Northen lights, or if your lucky like me some g-13. I recomend Indica strains like northen lights, or g-13. But if you are looking for that head high go for sativa strains.

Bad ass man awsome story. Thatd be the shit. Sorry to hear that. I love old people and their stories even if im the only one high.

Your grandpa sounded like a great guy. Those are the kind of special relationships that make life worth living. Now that he's gone it's up to you to keep his spirit alive.

lol like one person even tried to answer your questions....

to be honest i dunno, i don't mess with KB much.... mostly mids for me... so i coudln't tell you... as for the smell sticking on you and hair and all that, i doubt it....

probably your head playing games

no, i'm pretty sure it provides a longer lasting stronger 'stone'...

there are diffrent strains and two main types, sativa, and indica (there is a third, ruderalis i bleive, but you don't hear about it much and i'm not even really sure of what it does if anything, if i'm not mistaken it's usually reserved for hemp products) anyways sativa is a heady, energetic high, indica is the strong, couch lock high.... strains these days are usually a hybrid of the two (i think the usual percentage is like 20% of one, 80% of the other, depending on the strain it could have diffrent effects on you)

oops i stoped reading a little before that part haha.

That was a nice thing you did man. Its karma. Your nice to your gramps, take him out of the old folks home and get him high. Make his life happy instead of sad. And then when he passes away(tear) you find out he leaves all of his money to you and your kids. Youre a good man dude. Youre grampa died happy it sounds like. Thats good. Also on a side note, i read that weed is good for people with alzheimer's. Maybe thats why he was able to snap back to reality and think about today instead of 1940s.

I'm not going to tell you what to do because I am a 16 year old lol. But I loved you're story. And I think you should atleast tell you're wife about it.

It was a good story lol.

wow thats a really nice story man. good things happen everyday right?
proof to that right here

i dunno taking him in and helping him enjoy the rest of his days, i cant explain how amazing i think that is. i can only hope i have a grandson as cool as you when im old and my days are coming to an end.


as for bud variety, no one can really tell you whats going to be best for you. weed strains vary, often names are made up by dealers or its not the real thing. the bud can have different effects for people, some love a strain while others think its meh. if i were you i would just sample around a bit, find which buds give you your favorite high.

as for smell, just pop a mint or eat something and that will handle your breath. your clothes shouldnt smell really unless your hotboxing a car or something similar to that. get some clear eyes too :stoned:
also vaporizers conserve weed and really cut down on smell, kinda pricey.

i tried eating cannabis a couple weeks ago, firecrackers, and it was pretty nice. the high was definately longer than when i smoke and its really cool to start getting high without even smoking.

and the fat cell thing, thats really something i wanna know too. last thanksgiving i decided to fast for the day, you know, eat a huge dinner. couple hours before the big feast i was kinda feeling high (or at least i thought) i dunno if i was just imagining it or what.

oh yeah, just thought i'd mention.. in the begining my wife wanted me to quit too... always shit like "you aren't gonna smoke weed all your life" or "i'm not gonna put up with forever" if she truely loves you, she isn't gonna drop you for some shit like that.... period... put your damn foot down.... make an agreement, tell her you ain't gonna do it infront of hte kids or her, but you are gonna do it, and you're only gonna quit IF and WHEN you WANT TO....

the way i look at it, you don't need to be married to anyone who won't accept you for who or what you are... i don't even think you should date someone like that... and i have... it's not a road you wanna go down...

hey man great story about your grandfather, i'm glad you guys got to spend some quality time together

As for your fat, yeah you probably hold a bit more thc than the average smoker. THC is lipid soluble which means it dissolves in fat.

Yeah eating THC does give a more mellow body high that is different from smoking. The only problem is it takes a good bit more weed to get stoned from eating.

did he know that he was actually smoking weed or did you just give him a joint and he smoked it

aww thats sad, your a good person

that story really touched my heart man.

u did the right thing.

Haha, that's so cool. I'm sorry he's gone but at least you got to show him a good time first. + rep to you!

Tony, first, blessings on you for your kindness and compassion! Second, if you worry about the smell, get a vaporizer! Easier on your lungs, no smell and you can use the "left-overs" to make brownies. Yes, you can get high twice on the same pot by first vaping and then cooking with it!

Tony, since Alzheimer's seems to run in families, you are being wise by toking! Run a search on Alzheimer's and cannabis! Show your results of the search to your wife when you decide to tell her. - Granny:hippy:
