I can remember paying extra for all buds (which meant more seeds) with no shake. Ewwww. Moldy old Columbian.

The mini brick keys we were getting came in a manila paper wrapping that was also wrapped in blue cellophane. We'd take a electric carving knife and cut the key in half, unwrap it, stick it on a window screen, and set the screen on a Dutch oven full of boiling water. The stuff would fluff up and expand like crazy. Then it went on the dining room table, on newspapers, under a ceiling fan until it was dried enough not to mold and to burn properly. Remember it like it was yesterday.
Sadly, everyone I can remember doing that kind of stuff with up and died on me. Bastards left me here with my memories.

Ok, one more memory from the day....your "process" sounds familiar, and of course all this meant there were seeds EVERYWHERE! OK, remember the old style water beds? Just one big bag, no baffles, floaty floaty. Well if you recall it was a bad thing to get seeds between the wood frame and the water "bag" part. The sheer weight and back and forth wave action would work those suckers until it wore a hole, and then your room flooded. Then, week later your spiffy "shag" carpet was full of 2 inch weed sprouts....
I know how you feel, all of my old crew are gone. Last one died in federal prison. Meth manufacturing. He never could leave that stuff alone.
RIP Tom, Matt, Kent, Dave see you on the other side. Oh man.

Funny things, these feelings. The oddest things can trigger a ton of them, and your note did. Now I think of those that left this world unpleasantly....whoa. Sadness, regrets, revenge, all powerful things from a lifetime ago.

Ah the memories us us old guys have. Speaking of seeds I used to us the lid of a shoe box. That way they were contained and no surprises like Bubba.
Anybody remember one of theses. Still in my basement with my collection of other memorabilia from the 60's and early 70's.
This is what I eventually graduated to from the shoe box lid. Can't remember when I got this bit It is older that most members on here.

I remember them. Never had one. We didnt have no fancy shoe box tops weed spinners. We had to pick them out with tweezers and had to eat sand. It was bad. We only had popped waterbeds...

How about the "Rollers" that were the little pieces of bamboo that made a flexible sheet to roll in. I always used a dollar bill to do that if I needed help. Say, how about papers from the day? American flag? I remember watching Steppen Wolf smoking a flag jay.
Big Bambu, Zig Zag, Anyone have the cheech and chong record with the giant rolling paper that no one smoked? I think my actual favorite all these years has been Club. The little ones with no glue. They were the lightest paper I found, and burned away to nothing. Most people didnt like them because of the no glue, and they were not overly big. I can still roll like a champ with them, even nice fat ones.
They quit making them a number of years ago. Then they came back, but were THICK paper and had glue strip. Not even. I think Rizla does them now much improved, but not as the original. When I learned they were on their way out, I bought a bunch. STILL have some, but most joints these days are cones.

top sock drawer from dresser was a workable tool for me especially for pulling 5-7 gram rocks out of $90 mexi lbs in '71. . $90 for one, $60 per if 10lb and over from nuevo laredo ... MCs were my big brothers back when
I still have a wooden box that a pipe kit with several bowls and attachments came in. Don't have any of the pipes anymore, but still have the box. It was a present from the old crew on my 16th birthday. Dam, old enough to prosecute!

You can still see the label on the inside of the lid. It has a picture of a man made out of a pipe walking a dog that is made out of a roach clip.
I remember it being a "Brand" I would see in headshops in the day.

Speaking of Joints.....I haven't rolled on in years. Zig Zag.....was my choice. I used to take a lot of pride in my joints. I should try rolling one for fun. No!
As far as dollar bills go.....I used them for something else......Cocaine....those days are long gone as well.
Used to be a social thing passing a J.....today I mostly smoke alone....sad....

You know, for cocaine.....that's where latest rash of hep c cases are coming from. Snorting coke in the 80's. My doc told me this,
no one really thought about that, but you know how coke eats skin away, tissue in nose is almost blood anyway. Despite requiring blood to blood contact to transfer the diease, that bill going from nose to nose is sufficient! The other biggie is shared razor blades between room mates. If you are around coke, you are gonna be around some needle folk somewhere or the other. who are you sniffing with? Whose razor? Non needle folk never saw that one coming. If you are our age, get tested. Hep C is now totally curable in 98% of cases. The other 2 percent either aren't taking it, or getting reinfected. A small group of my friends all tested and were astonished that 2 tested positive and had no idea of why or how.
The previous wave of cases came from Viet Nam vets and folk getting transfusions. No one knew what Hep C was, or aids for that matter, so the band played on, how can you prevent what you cant even imagine? Get tested.

I went to donate blood and got turned down. They told me that I tested positive for Hep C. Off to the Dr. I went, he run his tests and told me it was a false positive, A few years later I was referred to an Internal Dr. and he did a liver biopsy and it showed no detectable virus. No Hep C. I'm a 'nam vet and a retired firefighter, take your choice where I picked it up.
Yep. Me and my room mate when i was young had a huge joint rolled out of one of those, and we had it hung on our Living room wall for about a week before we had a party and smoked it.

Still got mine, but I watched it like a hawk. Wonder if they're worth anything?
