First Post - Making of a hippie second time around?

Hi all.

I have been out of the weed scene for, wow, 28 years already? I was a 70's hippie.

I've done the marriage and kid thing... at least the kids turned out great. The youngest smokes weed and has not tried to hide it. I was scared at first because I had known peeps that started with weed and went on to screw up their lives with harder drugs, but he has a good head on his shoulders and is past the "danger zone", so to speak.

I am amazed at all the new kinds of weed and the high tech paraphernalia (I used a toilet paper tube pipe a lot or just rolling papers).

So why am I here? I spent way too long living a life that has been expected of me by way too many people, pursued an American Dream that led to an un-fulfilling quest for money. I bought the big house and luxury cars which only led to maintenance headaches and an endless "Honey Do" list. In the end there was no peace, and none can be found at the bottom of a bottle or by a visit to pill-pushing doctors.

I have missed the peace and friendships that I had in the past. I see my son now enjoying what I had many years ago.

Now I feel like a weed newbie twice over. Where is the best places to start on this site to learn the terminology, the kinds of weed out there now, and what can I expect to pay?

I am in the Houston area. How would I even start finding somebody to buy from? I am not into just driving around and approaching people that look like "drug dealers", plus being an older gentlemen, they might think I am a cop.

I considered asking my son to get some for me, but I changed my mind due to a pending divorce. Any advice?

Thanks and hope to get to know some you people better on the forums.

Welcome to here

 

Hi! Welcome to another peeps user!

 

Welcome, new here myself. I feel for you, I'm kinda in the same boat as you, at least as far as finding smoke. Feel your son out, he may be more willing to help then you think. If you do find a good way of finding a reliable source, please share your knowledge.

 

Yeah, I thought about that. It just seems strange... like my father asking me when I was his age. I avoided drinking in front of the kids while they were in the house so as to not be a bad influence, and gave them the dutiful "dangers of alcohol and drugs" speeches. Kind of feel like a hypocrite asking him... but I might get over that.

I am read the suggestions for first post and probably did not do the right thing by inquiring how to score smoke in my area. I hope it doesn't reek of bacon. I'd hate to be shunned.

 

You'll probably be ok, it's not like you popped on here and asked if anyone was willing to hook you up or send you something.

We've always keep things out of site of the young ones, trying to set the good example and all. But now that they're not so young, we've discovered kids are alot more perceptive then you would think.
