[Stoner4Life]

as a kid I loved reading the Bazooka Joe Bubble Gum comics.

 

[rives]

Flexi-Flyers were about the most fun on four wheels until the mothers in San Francisco and Oakland got them banned (with damn good reason!).

 

[nukklehead]

anyone remember the old Hot Wheels tracks ? bad idea to fuck up when mom had one of those damn things in arms reach

ouch to both of those.. the broom, the wooden spoon and an old
piece of wind up evil knievel track ( hot wheels) would give you a
welt for a week...

 

[atsapapa]

used to have a piece of bamboo "rattan" in the chalk tray the teacher slapped you with when you got out of line

I remember smokes were 45 cent a pack, you could get a 16oz Pepsi (glass bottle) for 15 cent.
Go to Memphis and get a pound of Panama Red for $100.00..Of course it had seeds and stems, but that was the fun of it..rollin a number and sortn out the stems and seeds..4 finger lids @ $20.00.. Rolling a number with Tops papers or if lucky ZigZag white..LOL..

I remember cigs @ .50 cents a pack and they were sold in machines that could be found everywhere, bars, laundry mats, arcades....

Also remember quarter pounds of Mex mersh for 40$, use to break them down and sell ounces for 20$ each, double your money and do it again.

That was a long time ago, talkin 40 years.

 

[trailblazer2]

so many great responses... most of what I would say has already been said, so I will just add one thing: I enjoyed so many different kinds of smoke from all over the world, and some of the stuff now is amazing... super amazing, but nothing is as good as the thai sticks. I can still remember the smell... miss it so much. met some truckers once and rolled a pinner joint. they laughed and teased me... until we smoked it. one guy said "what the h*ll is this sh*t?" they couldnt even finish it. totally blew there minds!

 

[noyd666]

[SkyHider]

there was no color TV

 

[Dr. Purpur]

There were just a couple channels back then.
Everyone in America watched the same programs, and talked about the episodes the next day, at work, or school.
I watched the first man walk on the moon. The kennedy assination coverage.Nixon canned.

 

[Eighths-n-Aces]

kids dropped out of school and got a job when they got sick of the bullshit instead of walking in with a gun
