25 years is long enough

...boy...you have been out of it for a while, dude......the last $35 oz was sold about 1972. (I bought it)

Not if your in mexico lol

I wish I could have gotten oz that cheap. But welcome aboard, stay true to forums, they give great advice here... problem your probably going to have is finding the connect #1 and #2 making sure you won't get ripped off, depending on where you live, it might not be as hard as you think, but like you said, you want to be as safe as going to the store to buy a pack of gum and not like your going to the block to score blow ya know what I mean? Best of luck and welcome aboard.

Man, I am 50, and I bought SUPER Columbian Gold, Panama Red, etc. for twenty bucks an OZ. This was back in the '70's. I too am just now getting back into the weed after 20 years of raising hell, uh, oops, I mean, children, flyr, and they are grown and gone now. I know where you are coming from. My connections? Can't find 'em for sheet. Must be all in jail. I'm just gonna buy some seeds and start the cultivation process.

Course I never could grow anything, so I'll probably waste my miney and murder my own weed. Sucks being 50 with no connects...

Oh well...

Peace, and hello to everyone,

Old Stoner

Boy can I relate to all you old guys (i'm 58) and started to dabble in smoking after a major wreck. Surgerys, chronic pain for 16yrs. I was a Train Engineer, had a Head On in "91" Buying was my modus operendie. I could'nt smoke meccy, so 400$ ounces were all I could find. Not to say it was fine. Always top notch indy, A bit pricey but always great. Now for the last year I'm growing my own. Saving thousands? I'll die before I quite smoking now. It relieves pain,stress of pain,lifes small bullshitty things all go away when need to. Up in smoke you know?

[Jah420]

I want to get back into smoking without getting ripped off or busted and this seems like a good site to reeducate myself on my way to becoming reaquainted with weed

Purely man.

[Old Stoner]

Snake, I hope you get to feeling better. My dad was a switchman and got rearended after another train ran a red board back in 1975. Screwed him up real bad. But he never did the wacky tabacky - not even medicinal. Heck, don't think they even had medicinal back then, although a government grow near University of Mississippi made big time news - the kids would sneak in and rip off some buds, until a bunch got caught, LOL...

Good luck with the pain - I feel for anyone who has chronic pain - my best friend's wife has Andalosing Spondylitis (sp) and she is in constant, severe pain. Weed helps, but she is on high dosages of Hydrocodone-Apap as well.

God bless ya, Snake,

Peace,

Hi! I went back to college in my 50s. It took about two weeks of sitting at the "stoner table" and rapping with the kids to make a good connection. Check the student lounge or cafeteria. There is usually a group of easily spotted stoners. Just be low key and honest. The point when they REALLY accepted me was at a party- when I showed them how an "old lady" can clear a 4 foot bong! LOL! After that, I was one of the "ganja gang".

Vaporizers- GET ONE! I have a little Vapor Brothers that I LOVE! (about $150 for the hands-free type- and worth every cent!) You use less pot. They are VERY easy on the lungs- no morning cough. They don't smell like you are smoking pot- just a very mild, easily covered odor. The VB is good because you can set it up, take a few hits and then let it sit for "however" long, come back and take the next hit without losing THC! It just sits there waiting for you to inhale! And if that isn't enough, the leftovers from vaping can still be used in baking! Yes, you can get high twice off the same pot! Not as strong as using fresh bud, of course, but I get a respectable buzz off of my brownies. (I like to add hemp seed (totally legal) from the health food store to my brownies. Hemp seed is high in Omega 3- good for your heart. It is also delicious.) A vaporizer pays for itself in many ways!

Since you aren't a "spring chicken", you may find it interesting to go through my "medical studies" post. A lot of the "old age" infirmities are lessened by the use of cannabis. Just click the link below. - Granny:hippy:

So i'm not alone... nice to know there are others out there trying to reconnect at a later age as well. Growing looks like the way to go but can't do it at the house right now, unfortunately, so am thinking of trying something on public land... good woods around here. Guess I'll have to poke my nose in at the growers threads to see if that is feasable and to get some advice. Man I am getting impatient... just wanna get stoned again!

[Old Stoner]

No kiddin', flyr....ME TOO ! Feelers out, but nothing's happening. Oh well... Just hang in, something goods gonna happen for us BOTH soon, LOL! I just have this feeling...

Peace,

Old Stoner

I scored, I am so excited:thumbsup:! So far just one joint but I am edging my way back into the game. Don't know the quality yet, gotta wait till some day during the week when things are nice and relaxed and I can go out in the woods and really enjoy the high that I haven't felt in 25 years! Man, I hope this little joint can make it through tonight. Hey Stoner... nice goat, the one with the wheels I mean!

[angry nomad]

I smoked three times when I was 18, it scared me because of christian propaganda. I started smoking a couple years ago when I was 29. You will find out a lot of people smoke that are many different ages. Congratulations on scoring.
