I started smoking in 1977 -- you could still get Panama Red, Acapulco Gold, and real Thai sticks, as well as big bricks of blonde and black hash. And I remember in the early eighties getting big Hawaiian stalks. It's hard to compare potency now, but I do remember getting so stoned it would take me hours just to remember what I was going to do.

I think pot today is stronger, but I've build up quite a resistance over 25 years of smoking. There was definately good shit back then though -- wish I saved some seeds so I could bring some of those strains back.
