My friends and I all had older siblings who were basically the last of the hippies . They hooked us young'uns up with all the old legends .
One was a biker living in Vermont , the Hindu Kush came from him and we were told it was grown in Maine . Who knows how long they'd been growing it there but it set off the light bulb that said if it grows there it'll grow here in CT . At one point it got crossed with really good Jamaican strain . Wish we'd never done that but hindsight is a wonderful thing .
