The 13 bean story is true, of course with all good stories there is more to it that can be corroborated by certain circles. If you had gone to west coast dead shows in the late eighties, particularly the ones at to-hell-you-ride
you would have at least smelt that one of a kind odor if not sampled some. "Colorado Green Bud" was what it was called back then, circulated by bikers and was thought to be a Hindu Kush. It was fairly available in Colorado and Wyoming back then. Some of that bud made it's way east and viola!
He he, now there's a story to whip me about! lol
