I searched this site for landrace seed banks and this came up. I would email them if you are having problems. Best of luck

That's the way we got them in the 70s . Long about 80 we started getting a dark brown Thai in bulk form , better than the sticks .

Remember those days well, blond lebanese hash (still some of the best I've ever smoked) cubes on the tip of a needle under a glass about the only way to smoke hash then except grinding and throwing it in a pinner. This thread has turned into a walk down memory lane for some of us

Damn, I can’t remember the last time I heard someone talking about “pinning” hash. My Brother n law, ex Vietnam “tunnel rat”, taught me that technique. If you have the right size glass you can make the mactchbook cover holding the pin spin like a pinwheel when taking hits. Wow memory lane!

This thread is memory lane ! I started smoking in '74 . My gang was lucky , in the sense that there were older siblings who were true hippies . We had some good contacts

Thats what it was all about, either have a cool older brother or sister or simply hang out with the older ”Heads”. Things seemed simpler back then. I guess I’m just an old fart nowadays; but still having the time of my life!

I remember it from the late 70's. I'm old but not as old as some might think. I was smoking weed when I was 12-13.

13 was my first time too. It was Chronic skunky shit since I was in the PNW, But that was in 86. Instantly fell in love, lol.

Maybe

I haven't shaved my upper lip since '74...

Wow o wow is right! What a blast from the past! We did this but used one of our album covers. I still have mine - Aerosmith - Toys In The Attic, and it still has the brown stain ring.

1976 for me! Yep, the older bros and sis from our crowd were always ready and willing to help out a new fledgling stoner.

I was able to procure a Thai Stick - once! It cost me $10, which seemed ridiculous considering an entire lid was $10 at the time. See who remembers that term... LOL

Right, 16 in an oz. Not even 2 grams.

When I started smoking it went by the finger measure . An oz of average smoke was $20 and was about 4 fingers high in a baggie. A lid was 3 fingers , a dime 2 , and a nickel 1 .

The old classic strains like Columbian Gold and the like went for $30-40 .

A dime bag when I was growing up was a a gram for $10. But this was Chronic in the early 80's. $30 1/8.

Then over time, the shit went up to $50-60 an 1/8, lol.

We used a hash pipe. Stuff got rare. Smoke a couple of pinches of Thai and then follow it up with some fatties of southern Mexican. Fly high!

Last winter we smoked a huge chunk of bubble hash that my dad made from my trim, out of his old hash pipe from Germany. He got busted selling hash in Germany while serving in the army and was thrown in Fort Leavenworth prison the year I was born. So hash has always been part of my essence and it was cool to pack the old pipe up with our own 40 years later.

My mom always talks about Thai sticks. My dad still rolls pinners. I didn't read the rest of this thread.
