Been aware of this Forum, but decided to join today. I'm a 63 YO woman, lived in NYC for last 30 years, retired, but moving to Claremont, CA (my son got into grad school) and seemed like the right time to move back west. I became a hippie in 1968 when I moved to Monterey, CA. Lived in Big Sur, my BF was a big-time potdealer, spent most of my time cleaning keys in shoebox tops. A key is a kilo. Lived in a commune in Santa Cruz off of Tannery Road, then another commune up in Crow, OR, down the road from the Crow Farm (famous commune started as a social experiment with Federal money by a Sociology Prof at UofEugene (Ken Kesey territory), did street theater with the Pageant Players (offshoot of Julian Beck's Living Theater). Lived on the island of Ibiza 73-75, many long trips to Marrakkesh, Tangiers, North Africa. Spent time in Negril in '80s with hash oil exporter, many trips to real Rastafarian ganje farms...yup, I was a potdealer's Old Lady...great times...can't wait for the legalization of pot in CA. My life has been amazing..dropped acid at Woodstock, met Jimi Hendrix in the Speakeasy Club in London, January 1969..lived with the drummer from Big Brother and the Holding Company for a while...on the stage with Janis Joplin at Woodstock (Jim Marshall, famous rock photographer got me up there)...happy to be here, whole new cycle of my life and it feels like it's just come all the way back to where it started. Peace, Sally
thedope, thanks for the wave....I've check out some of the stuff on this site......staggering amount of stuff..
bbad, cleared up a lot of sticks and stems, fastest joint roller in Big Sur......but then, I was always the pot dealer's old lady.......so many pot dealers..I think I just wanted to stay high and when I met a guy who turned me on, if he was a bigtime dealer, I'd stick around for a few months..of course, pot was $10 a lid...OK, bbad, here's a hippie question for you...What's a lid and why was it called a lid? Hippie trivia game. Stone free do what i please Stone free to ride the breeze Stone free i can't stay I got to got to got to get away
Ganja will be good for us after I expand the lungdry basket of frish pecked fung. To think, it's been near a year since me last bong !
Hmm, good answer. We used to call a lid the amount of pot you could get into one of these.. ........ as for people who aren't hippies and who don't smoke pot, that would describe most of the people I've known for the last 30 years!! Nobody ever said being a hippie and smoking pot makes you a better person. I love variety and would be bored in a world where everybody was the same. We didn't call ourselves hippies; didn't Time Magazine do that? We were freaks.
