    specific questions you can pm me

    I bought and sold dope from about 73 ….until....I will let you know when it stops....it was al very sneaky and covert....meet ups at plazas...fronting money on parked down the street while deals were made.....pitching in with others to get better deals....discouraging pitching in by others to make more free dope for myself by ALWAYS being the middle man and NEVER introducing customers to suppliers

    We use to buy "Pot" in the 70's.

    It was always from guys older than ourselves and you had to know a guy who knew the guy.

    If you were deemed "cool" you'd be invited to the house and buy it sitting in the living room. You always had to smoke some first so you'd know how good it was.

    But yeah, you had to come highly recommended as "cool" to be able to get an invite to go to the dudes house and buy it.

    I used to sell meth at parties back in the '80s, which was probably totally crazy since I was driving around drunk with it and then selling to people I didn't even know. I don't even remember where I got it from. Those days are just kind of a blur. :sunglasses:

    And black opium. Don't remember how much it cost.

    In the mid 70s a soft of cooperative bought some fine home grown pot by the pound for a dollar an ounce. A woman grew it in her home from seeds from Hawaii and other places. We would call our friends to see who needed and how much and let her know. She would meet us at a rest stop on the interstate for the exchange. It was dried buds with seeds and a few stems. Crumble them up in a shoebox lid and separate the seeds with a credit card.

    There were other drugs too...I experimented with them but for the most part I stuck with pot and booze.

    Acid. Orange Sunshine was considered the best. There was also Windowpane and Mr. Natural. Can't think of other names.

    Mescaline. I lived in New England where peyote was hard to come by but there were mescaline tabs.

    Speed. Benzedrine, aka Bennies, was popular. On the lower end was Dexedrine, aka white crosses or crossroads.

    Downers. Sopors, Barbiturates, etc. You could also get Quaaludes then.

    Magic Mushrooms. 'Nuff said.

    Cocaine. Many became addicted to it in the 70s.

    And finally Heroin, the drug no one wanted to talk about.

    Been a lot of changes since then but overall the song remains the same.

    Then there were your pot strains.

    Mexican. May not have actually been from Mexico but the term was used to describe your average-quality weed.

    Colombian. More potent strains here.

    Jamaican. Also very potent but mellower than Colombian.

    Michoacán. The first creeper weed. Smoke it and be really stoned half an hour later.

    Home Grown. Whatever the strain, if it was grown in the USA.

    Acapulco Gold and Panama Red were on the high end, the elite strains of marijuana. Nowadays they're about average.
