Doctor G: The 10th Generation Joint

[kman]

duude thats an amaaazing story

Truely inspirational.

well if each joint required 4 roaches it would take around 1.3 million, 5 roaches, around 2.6, 6 roaches is around 13 million, and 7 roaches is around 47 million

so if averaged a bit over 5 roaches per joint, and i mean just a little bit, then he would require 4 million joints for 1 10th generation joint

[turm]

it only took about a month or two and about 1 3/4 pound to gain a 4th gen (and i fucked up when i said all cones my drunkness fucks with my thinking again, cones was recently and was only to a single 2nd gen) (btw my estimate on time is pretty accurate, but ammount could be off...i'm just doing math of: 5 roaches to make a joint, each joint about 1.25 grams).

so if it took you 2 months for one 4th gen, it would take you 10 months for 1 5th gen, 50 months for one 6th gen, 250 months for 1 7th, 1250 months for one 8th, 6250 for one 9th, and 31250 for 1 10th (note, these are not added up, 31250 is the amount it takes in total)

this is why he needed friends to send in their roaches because in your case it would take you 2604 years to get a 1 10th gen joint. (or if you use 1 month for a 4th then it is 1302 years)

My error. I must have been stoned or something. Actual #'s are a little over 800,000 joints to produce 1 joint of 10th.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Bizarre as it sounds this is a true story. We started the project about 1973.And
held the final ceremony in 1983. As you may have figured from my other posts I
am a frustrated researcher and this experience was no different.
An â??Official Roachâ?� was one quarter the length of the original joint. At the time we
were rolling primarily with Zig Zag single wides. We would mark the pack of
papers when we opened a fresh pack so we had a ready measure to compare to
the smoke in hand.
Observations showed we tended to smoke the first generation farther down than
the â??Official Roachâ?� size, thus it took about seven roaches to make a joint of
second. After that we were much more careful of the size of the roach and it took
about four to make a next generation.
The math goes like this: 7 roaches = 1 Joint / 2nd. So it took 196 joints to make
a joint of 4rd. 784 Joints to make a joint of 5th. 36136 Joints to make a joint of
6th. 12,544 joints to make a joint of 7th. 50,176 joints to make a joint of 8th.
200,704 joints to make a joint of 9th. 802,816 joints to make a joint of 10th.
3,211,264 joints to make a joint of 11th.
Oh yea, if you ever want to spend time in a landscape that is almost unearthly,
Canyonlands Nation Park is your place. There are 3 sections to the park. The
Islands in the Sky district, the Maze District, The Land of Standing Rocks. The
easiest automobile access is into the Islands in the Sky district. The hardest
access is the Maze District (four wheel drive ONLY). This is not an easy park to
access. There are no services, no water, fuel for the Maze district is 70 brutal
miles from the park entrance. Some of the most challenging four wheel drive trails
in the United States are located within this park. But what a place....WOW.
Summers are hotter than hell but spring and fall, wow. Winter? We did Christmas
there one year and slept on the ground in 5 below zero (Fahrenheit not
Centigrade). If you go there, please, do not deface the ancient rock art that in
places is a thousand years old or more. Stay on established trails. Take only
pictures, leave only footprints.
Thanks for reading

kinda confused

My favorite part from that was "The original three participants, and assorted children and friends."

I just have this mental picture of 50 or more people, standing around you, watching in hushed anticipation, waiting for you to spark the joint.

Great story as always, Doctor G, keep 'em coming.

[slipknotpsycho]

well probably the reason (saying this before someone starts questioning how i managed to smoke nearly 2 pounds in less than 2 months, should anyone remember i rarely get any weed anymore) would be because me and my brother had got our apartment (the house i live in now had 2 apartments out back, one of which was going to be tore down in a couple of months so we lived up there, and held 'small' parties with about 15-20 people EVERY night) so we'd go out and mow a couple of yards after school, take a shower pick up our usual and have our party, after we noticed how quickly roaches were building up we decided to start saving all the roaches of the week for firday nights (the major parties when shit would get wild) ahh those were the fuckin days.....

[daZenfmeister]

Wow that story was really cool. Good job. You're giving hope to us kids. Wow, seriously amazing.

It's a fucking lust. -laughs- I know it's ridiculous. But, it's lasting. I've been thinking about it for a little while now and it drew me back to this thread. Anyway I just wanted to say it was a really good story. I really hope I develop a group of close friends. I want a reality like yours. Maybe this is envy?

I guess it just seems like the drug lifestyle is very negative these days. Everyone's always scared of being ripped off and making sure they aren't being used and stuff. They forget to just enjoy eachother while simotaneously enjoying the drugs! I don't know. I want to sit around in a field with some people I like, passing a joint around, talking about nothing, and staring at the sky.

I'm sick of all this shady nonsense. Thanks again for your story. Your story really makes me want to meet those people.
