Super expensive and you just got whatever your drug buddy had. Like double the price of now in 95’ dollars.

Right, there was no popping over to the dispo and chatting with your budtender about the five thousand products on display, you had to page your dealer and buy what he had, or rely on the kindness of your friends.

Not only that it was usually Schwag or ditch weed and wasn’t very potent/tasted bad

I'd love to say I miss the catharsis of sorting seeds and stems, but I don't.

I miss eating the seeds. I always enjoyed them, but not enough to wish them to return to the sweet nugs available now!

Wait, you can eat the seeds?

You can eat all of it if you wanted to, but yes you can eat the seeds.

Sticks and stones may hurt my bones, but they will never get me high. I was lucky as fuck to grow up in Seattle before med/legal so we always had legit shit for a competitive price. Even for a fallback we had various grades of commercial Canadian hay or Outdoor keef-rolled NorCal.

Sorry to hear that. Was fortunately a rare occurrence for us as our source was great

Still could get Sativa too, prior to Indica exploding (shorter crop cycles = more harvests). There was a good 10 year period where you could only get Sativa around Oct (mostly grown outdoors)

One of the nice thinks about legalization in Canada is Sativa is back on the menu

In the late 1990s weed became legal in Switzerland for a couple of years. I remember having the luxury to choose between Indoor and Outdoor. Only some 15 years later when I lived in the US I became sophisticated enough to learn about indica and sativa. Wow what a journey.

My dad tells a story about buying a pound of Mexican weed, only to find a donkey turd in the middle of it.

That stuff was disgusting. Nowadays you can walk into a shop and have a selection of the best weed.

I remember being able to make a dime stretch for a whole weekend. Don't know how I did it.

I remember paying 280-300 an ounce every month under prohibition. Moved to Colorado 5 years ago and now I spend 160-180 a month on dabs. Better high, better on my lungs, easier on my wallet. I do not miss the good ol days.. But I kinda miss k-town weed(midrange brick weed sativa grown in Kansas city. Was great for rolling joints)
