In the OLD days ...

Smoking pot was like a really short mild acid trip ... we'd laugh our heads off for a while and we'd get the burn out come down. It was rather fun in our youth. The fact that the THC level in the pot was rather low by today's standards ... it was much more stimulating than it is with todays weed. We used to get a lot more Sativa strains back then than the Indica's which tend to be more uplifting than the Indica couch sitting effect. Now a days ... it's pretty much all heavily Indica and puts you in a Coma. When I was a kid I could handle that shit ... but not anymore. And I guarantee that the Indica back then was not even close to what it is now ... which is why as kids we could actually handle it ... less than 20% THC content. Now it's up to about 27% if you got a good strain and you grow it just right.
Then there is EXTRACTS !!! ... make BHO oil out of the hippie crack and you have really good hippie acid ... shatter !
They call it shatter cuz if you don't make it right ... it is very brittle and SHATTERS !!! everywhere when you try and break a piece off to smoke.

I miss the good ol days of nice mild Sativa from Cambodia or Thailand, Columbia. Mexico, California ... although some Sativas from the tropics were pretty strong in the day ... pretty much put you down for some hours... then a big burn out. But back then that was the fun of it. Cheaper than acid but still the same burn out ... unless you got bad acid ... DOH !!!
