The One That Got Away

[Mr.Miner]

Let me start by saying that I try to always be grateful for whatever I have and most of the time I am. When I am not that's on me. Anyway, I have this occasion that I think about often and when I do it puts a smile on my face because the memory puts me right back there at that time even though it was 27 years or so ago- not long but not yesterday. It was a situation where I passed up on something special but didn't know it at the time. It has become a 'regret' but it is a fun regret and one I enjoy thinking about. It's just a tiny little number of an amount but that is all we knew at the time. Tiny. This is no Holy Grail thing, just an enjoyable recollection.

I remember being in 11th grade (1988) and we took a ride up to Morris County for some regular green that was going for $200 at the time. We were going to come back home and unload some q's and get one free. Yippee. So we get to our friends spot and we took care of that pretty much right away. Shortly thereafter a friend of his comes over with this burnt-orange Tupperware bowl-container thing with a lid on it. He says to us that he has something really nice if we want any. So then he takes off the lid to reveal these softball-sized buds that were as gold as I have ever seen or seen since. Sparkly and glowing. I had never seen anything like it..He looks us in the eyes and says "35 an 1/8". We were secretly horrified. We hadn't paid close to that- ever. We were getting a free quarter so we were the victors here so we passed...Because we were idiots. But we meant well...

For some reason this one instance sticks out though I have a few more. Any similar stories to share? Big, small, all is good.

as i recall, i would buy good if i could, only lack of money would stop me
that said, i do remember some very nice mexican from way back, 70's
very brown, sparkly, and seedy
but the high was superb, i believe this was some good quality Michoacan
money was short, so only puffed a few times on friend's nickel
but that is one ounce i'd like to have today

I thought this would be asking about chick's who got away, should have realized it was about dope.

Passed on a couple pretty dope cuts...

Lost a woman I regretted loosing, though met my wife not long after so it worked out.

Time is a conundrum.

Back in like 2003, I would travel up to 45 minutes just to get a bowl or an eighth..I know , ridiculous. I had a connect who could get some bud he called 'kine bud' no seeds..

I was like, hell yeah, how much is it? 50 an eighth and 100 a quarter, I called him crazy but like a fool, I went right to the ATM and got 100 bux because I just had to try this 'kine bud'.
Drive the 45 minutes up the road to meet the dude at the college and get hooked up. Nice and fat quarter that filled up the bag, I was very grateful.
Get home an hour later and take my first hit sitting in my mustang in the girlfriends and I's driveway. It was amazing and tasted like pineapple or something/ and the high was super uppy and clear. It was called "The Trinity" and it was a super good amazing sativa that I have yet to come across again.
