Best thing I smoked back in the early 80s was Thai and that was $5 a joint. That came around about every once in a blue moon.

Fucking “ pocket joints “ lol … friend would fish one out a pocket all bent up and a fucking pinner size.
Then a soda can with holes for the Roach.
Haha, I remember that, S shaped joints. For roaches, I would make a crutch out of the back side of a matchbook and smoke that bitch to ash.

The thing is that even if you do get some original genetic that you're looking for it's not going to be the same. That's because it's going to be grown better not just big outdoor fields like it used to be. You'll end up with better quality and more potent weed than what you remembered.
It’s lower quality if it’s too potent if I want a mild smoke. If it’s not what we want and it’s missing certain characteristics from outdoor fields, then it’s it’s lower quality. This is the issue I ran into in any conversation with anyone in the business; what the consumer wanted had nothing to do with what they said was quality.

it appears that potency and whatever measures growers use to grade their product is completely disconnected from a decent size segment of the market. Each conversation seems to end with a variation of “Even if millions want that, I’m not going to produce garbage”. It’s not garbage, it just has additional characteristics that many want. There’s also a fair number of people that are afraid of the potency, all by itself.

I can assure you that Philip-Morris will produce it.

Was it “tied stick”? In the mid 70s you could get opiated thai stick which was some exotic weed dipped in some opiate paste of some sort. It was a tangential pot smoke with opium dominant and legendary potency because of that. But, in late seventies, a smart guy started tying marginally strong weed to sticks and sold it to newbies who were thrilled to get “tied stick” and thought they had the shizz.

I heard of Thai stick but all we got on the mid ‘lannic was “Colombian” which was probably mexibrick. But man did it get an adolescent white boy high.

Thai stick in Compton back then? Lol, no. Thai bud without the opium. Regular stress weed was $1 a joint

I remember having thai stick. It was good and it wasn't opiated, at least what I had in the early seventies.

Thai Stick







We used to get both the opiated and the non here in Portland. There was a big bust back some decades ago. Some dudes landed a freighter that had been across the world. They had about 15 tons of Thai weed. Something like that. They came up the Columbia river and docked. FEDs were waiting for them.

There was still Mexican brick weed in the la area as recently as 7-8 years ago when I last lived there.

like 20 bucks an ounce, tons of seeds and red string for some reason. Rock hard, had to chisel pieces off and then soon as the flame hit the bowl it would expand to 4x the size.


we would occasionally buy some as kids but had to get it from a friends parents. Only the older people seemed to know where to get it.

La was like the opposite of the Midwest, everybody had super strong weed and you had to look around or get lucky to find the brick stuff.

I remember this event. I lived in Gresham at the time. It was probably one of the biggest bust's I have ever read about.
