Who remembers having to clean their bag of 80's weed?

How about in the 70’s when the feds sprayed Mexico with Paraquat to kill the shit. They picked it anyway and shipped it out. This marked the advent of the early cannabis testing facilities
I never had my weed tested. Figured it was the cops
 
Dumbarse, you need to take the stems and seeds out first.
When I was younger we used to smoke with the rastas at nigh while rolling off stoppe (units were sold in back then).
We would be about 20 people in a small tin shack. Lots of weed gets cleaned and smoked in the process.
Anyway, a seed must have bounced into the tray with the cleaned weed.

The main rasta hit the bottleneck pipe, and we all heard the ting from a popping seed./
He got up, picked up the coffee table, and tore it in two with his bare hands.
I have never seen 20 people vacate a shack in 3 seconds flat before.

The man was livid.
 
In the early 80's in college there was some pretty good weed around along with the brown brick weed. I got bags of green nugs for as low as 60 an oz with not many seeds. It was ok, nothing great. But there was starting to be some really good totally seedless around for 25-30 a 1/8. There was even some really strong one or two hit weed. Yes the thai could get you really high in two puffs.
Some of the brown stuff would end up with nearly as much seeds as bud though after it was cleaned, pretty funny.

Ain't that the truth! ..i still have old t-shirts from when i was at Uni in the loft. All have the 'trademark' hot rock holes in the lap area :)

As for that nice but seedy weed of yesteryear ..i remember a few cherries on my joints exploding in a cloud of burning tobacco, weed and flying twig shrapnel. And the frantic patting of T-shirts as it claimed multiple victims ;)

Only long haired hippies smoked pot. At least that was the general consensus, Guys with short hair were the goodie two shoes, But maybe not all of them were. So if you saw a short haired guy with burn holes in his polyester shirt...see were this is going? And your last clue. I was a short haired pot smoker in the early 70s. :bigjoint:
PS I used an album cover most of the time to clean seeds out of my stash.

The Thai was good indeed.

I found this online awhile back while mindlessly surfing the net. It's part of an actual news article circulated by the Associated Press. It's hilarious and reminiscent of Reefer Madness. I don't know anyone that ever stayed up for days after smoking thai stick.


Statesman Salem, Ore., Sun., Apr. 28, 74,

WASHINGTON (AP) -Federal drug officials are investigating attempts by international drug smugglers to introduce a highly potent form of marijuana into the United States. The marijuana is called Thai Sticks because it comes from Thailand and is shaped like a long cigar. Drug Enforcement Administration officials said. Thai Sticks are not a hybrid marijuana, but are made from the potent top leaves and stems of the marijuana plant. DEA officials said they are high potency. When asked what the effect would be, a DEA official said a "high" or halluceno-genic effect, regular marijuana can last several hours, but with Thai Sticks a person could go "on one hell of a trip ... could stay up a couple of days." three times stronger than regular marijuana. They said Thai Sticks contain at least 7 percent tetrahydrocanabinia (THC), compared to 1 to 3 per cent for average marijuana. THC produces the hallucinogenic effect

Edit:
The grammar in the article is kind of messed up. They used OCR on old microfilm to digitize the text.

In the late 70's I unknowingly germinated my first cannabis plant in the floorboard of my 71 Camaro. Upon further inspection of the floorboard it was the only one that germinated out of about 50 seeds that I found. Damn seeds were everywhere back then.
