I remember paying $200 a pound for Colombian, but you had to buy 200 lbs at a time. On front street, of course. Sold pounds for between $300 and $350, depending on the quantity. When I was weighing pounds out of the bale, I'd pick the best buds and save 'em - cherry red, bight gold, black and gold, pinkish gold... I'd use them myself, or sell fat ounces of the primo buds to my friends for $30 a lid. They really thought that was a great idea.

You were over paying lol. We were getting them for a hundred and Canadian dollar was worth more then. By the time it got here it was 250 though
. That shit got me into BHO, no one here had seen the shit but I had smoked some honey oil at 15 and from then on very intrigued with concentrates 
. Would take a couple of pounds and make oil for myself 
, it was the best of times and the worst of times lol. Could never figure out what they put on the plastic wrap though, cross between fish oil and ammonia lol.

Used to get pounds for free, when I hung out in the companies warehouse (1 of em) they had 72 lb bales on pallets they moved around with a forklift. They had a shaker table that was big as a pickup truck that they broke up the bales with. We used to grab handfuls off the shaker table and stuff em into bags when we were there no one ever minded, place had metric tons of weed LOL

February 06, 1986|By Greg Bailey, Special to The Tribune.
ALTON, ILL. — Richard Dial Thorp, former head of The Company, a marijuana smuggling ring that has been called the biggest ever in the U.S., has pleaded guilty to 44 criminal counts in federal court here.
Thorp, 38, who entered his plea Monday, will be sentenced March 14 by U.S. District Judge William L. Beatty. Thorp faces up to 303 years
imprisonment or life without parole and fines of up to $945,000.
The Company allegedly smuggled about 900 tons of Colombian marijuana worth about $55 million between 1976 and 1977. At its height, the group operated a fleet of cargo planes and trucks and owned a chain of airfields and warehouses throughout Illinois and Missouri.
Thorp, a native of Wood River, Ill., formed The Company in an Alton restaurant meeting in 1976 with James C. Dugan of Bethalto, Ill., and James A. Mitchell, of Brighton, Ill. Both Dugan and Mitchell have served prison terms, as well as about 200 former company members.
Thorp had eluded police since 1979 when he fled from a Georgia drug trial. He was arrested under assumed names in Kansas and Florida in 1982, but both times was released on bond and fled before his true identity was discovered.
Federal authorities searched for Thorp for five years. The trail led them through the United States, Mexico and the Bahamas.
Thorp was captured July 26 when he walked into a Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Mexican restaurant, where dozens of FBI agents were attending a farewell dinner. One of the agents recognized him.
Thorp pleaded guilty to one count of participating in a continuing criminal enterprise, one count of reacketeering conspiracy, 26 counts of interstate travel in aid of racketeering, 12 counts of possessing marijuana with intent to distribute and one count of filing a false income tax return.

Many believed "The Company" originated in Chicago, but news articles prove differently:
"The Company," of which The Bluegrass Conspiracy was written, began in 1976 in East St. Louis, Illinois when Richard Dial Thorp, a former Viet Nam helicopter gunner, along with some friends, formed a corporation-styled smuggling operation with the purpose of importing TONS of marijuana and making TONS of money.
The marijuana was imported from Colombia, South America and landed in four states: Missouri, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
Thorp's security man for "The Company" was named Robert Snyder, who was a well-known polygrapher (lie detector specialist) and worked in pornography in St. Petersburg, Fl., and also with the Lexington, Kentucky police department. There, he became affiliated with Drew Thornton and Bradley Bryant.
The Company was said to have 2-300 members and was huge, and international. Many believe it is still in operation today.
Thorp eluded police after being caught twice and bonding out twice. He lived underground and "on the run" for years even during the time Drew Thornton fell out of the plane. Thorp was finally caught by the FEDS. Thorp's Georgia manager, Michael Grassi spent some time in prison and then when released continued his smuggling adventures.
The security man, Snyder appeared in federal appeals court in Eastern Kentucky regarding four of his forty counts related to the smuggling enterprise and RICO Act–– the year was 1988.(872 F. 2d 1351 - United States vs. J Snyder) Within the text of the case are these words:
"......When Snyder took the stand in his own defense, he testified that his involvement with the Company was at the direction of a now deceased federal drug enforcement agent named Harold Brown, as a government informant."
In her book, "The Bluegrass Conspiracy," Sally Denton wrote extensively about the DEA Agent, Harold Brown, and she mentioned Snyder briefly:
".....Robert Snyder, a nationally known polygrapher who had performed lie detector tests for the Lexington police, was charged with ordering the murder of two informants–– one named "Big Red" from the St. Louis, Illinois, area and another named William Wade Hampton from Georgia. Snyder, who Ralph knew had been associated with Bradley Bryant and Drew Thornton since Snyder's employment with the Lexington Police Department, immediately went into hiding...." taken from p. 136, The Bluegrass Conspiracy, Sally Denton

Or... As happy as a Denmarker or Dutch person, of which far more still have the unmutated longer happiness genes.
http://www.livescience.com/46877-denmark-happiness-genetics.html
"For this part of the study, the researchers looked at people in 30 countries and compared how many people had the mutation in each country. They found that Denmark and the Netherlands have the lowest percentage of people with the mutated shorter copy of the gene, and also ranked the happiest. Italy had the highest percentage of people with the mutation, and ranked the least happy of the 30 countries."
I read a while ago Denmark is a major exporter of human sperm too...
Based on research of 145 institutes and and 300,000 people, internationally, dutch researchers have found which specific genes are responsible, should become international news within days.
Anyway, I was thinking, so that's why so many act so miserable. They are mutants!
Also, do unhappy people stink more?

Apparently if you do not get what you want or achieve your goals the mind manufactures "synthetic happiness"
and this synthetic happiness is as good as the real stuff, (when your goals and desires are met)
so really we could all just sit around all day smelling like shit thinking how wonderful we are
i was thinking about those genius types who are said to struggle with interpersonal relationships and tend to be less happy more stressed uptight
there was some link between geniuses having less (social intelligence)
