For sure about the prices. I use to live at Lake Tahoe in 1970 and could get the good hash for about a year then my connects brother got busted and I have not hash that good since. After the short wave of good Columbian (San Marta Gold was killer) there was the Thai weed that was good for a while. Then folks started tying buds onto sticks and calling it Thai stick. I got some of the stuff that drifted up on the beaches in the early 70's. It was Buddha Thai sticks and was just awesome. Folks were finding 100 lb barrels of weed washed up on the beaches. I have had similar dreams but never such a reality.
