I was thinking ( for like three hours ) what to write. Now I can't remember much of what I wanted to say. At 57 I think I think I'm allowed to get away with something sometimes.
Oh yeah,
Do any of you remember the very first time you smoked Pot? I do back in 1971. The Hippies hanging out in the City Park where I grew up as a kid asked me if I wanted to get High, I was only 14yrs old coming back from swimming at the Pool riding my Schwinn Stingray ( Lemon Peeler ). lol Bought my first lid about a week later for $2.00. A "5 Finger Lid" of Panama Red stuffed in a big letter envelope. This Hippie Chick told me she was really hungry, and that they wanted to walk to A&W to get something to eat but needed some money. This guy walked over while I was talking to her, and said "Hey Man, wanna buy a Lid"? lol I told him I only have 2 bucks to go swimming with and to go eat afterwards, but "How much do you want"? He said; 2.00. Sold!
I remember my older Brother ( step ) had just left for Vietnam after he came home on leave from boot camp for about a week, and I'll never forget telling him that I got stoned in the Park with the Hippies, and bought a Lid. He confessed saying he got stoned there before too and had some hidden downstairs in his bedroom. That was the first time I got stoned with him. He said to save some for him when he comes back, so I did. It was quite the reunion when he finally came back and didn't have to go back again. For two years, I saved that pot and didn't dare smoke any. Since then,...I've been a tok'in
