Hello to all cannabis trailblazers and blazers. Born in 54, my step dad was Navy lifer so I have lived a lot of places and seen a lot as well. We moved to the Bay Area in fall of 67 from Guam and I liked the hippie vibe that was developing. Some school friends had older siblings who frequented The Haight so I got to smoke hash and weed on occasion. Moved to Tennessee in 69 and we smoked weed in the school bathroom and teachers did not know what it was and told us to flush our cigarettes and get back to class. That only lasted a year or two and the war on drugs began in earnest. Used every kind of drug known to man in the 70's and grew outdoors with minor success. Thanks to Sinsemilla Tips magazine I got on the indoor band wagon in the early 80's. I told my brother I want to be buried like Duane Allman with a joint in my mouth or cremated to get one last smoke.
