"Talking this over with my dad he shares the same views. He states the weed they smoked back in his time was WAY more FUN and NEVER caused paranoia panic or anything along those lines. Even smoking almost everyday. He says the stuff now is HORRIBLE! My dad admits the stuff around today might be more potent...but not more fun. He says the stuff today looks better, smells better, and tastes better...but the high is lame. He stated the stuff way back then was an "instant good time." He states if your parents just died, wife left you, and you just found out you had a terminal decease....one joint would erase all that and you'd enjoy yourself. He mentions it always caused EXTREME UNCONTROLLABLE LAUGHTER, and even sometimes pyschodelic properties such as hallucinations, both visually and auditory. The stuff then he says was just brown leafes with enormous amounts of seeds. It just came from Mexico and was killer and wonders what happened to it?"
That was because he was young then. Everything is funner when you're young.lol
But to certain extent is was funner back then because nobody really seemed to care who smoked. You were left alone. Even most cops back then just didn't care.
