I must be old - I can remember when we shared our drugs willingly
PORTLAND, Tenn. (WKRN) — The Sumner County Sheriff’s Office said multiple fights broke out on Monday at Portland High School all centered around a student allegedly stealing from another classmate.
“During our investigation that does seem to be a part of it. Over the suspected theft of a THC vape device,” Sgt. Chris Vines said.
I remember early 70's standing on a street corner of 33 and Main in The Burg of Va. A car load of people pulled up to the stop light. The front seat passenger stoned out of his gourd was taking a hit off half a joint. He looked at me and handed the joint out the window saying, "Take this fuckin thing." Good shit mon. The days of Panama Red and Acapulco Gold.
Back in the days when I was known to partake, I never once bought it. I never had great quantities on hand, just enough to get a good buzz on if I wasn't doing anything too important. I haven't touched the stuff since 1989.
1968. Everybody was trying to get everybody else stoned. You could get a bulging full sandwich baggie of pot for $10. We'd get together and put in $2 each, sit down and roll the whole thing into joints and divvy 'em up between us and spread out to get everyone high.
Of course, that was when it was just fine to get high, as opposed to now, when if one hit doesn't turn you into a piece of really expensive furniture, you're doing it wrong. Some broke teenagers do not mind stealing for a few minutes' status. 'Twas ever thus.
Nam weed was full of seeds. That shit would blow the fire right off the end of a joint. Used to get Party Packs, 10 joints sealed in plastic. You could tell the smokers by the burn holes in their tee shirts.
We shared back in the 60's and early 70's, but only with those who shared with us when they were flush. We knew who the moochers and parasites were and shut them down. Nobody tolerated a thief.
Much of today's weed is also laced with everything else: fentanyl, heroin, PCP and so on. Cops in Alberta actually had to start reporting deaths from fentanyl-laced marijuana.
UhHuh, you numbskull kids,,NOW where is it?
