I'm sorry but it is quite funny......" <pfffft>....This isn't working!! <pffffft>......argh!!!"
It reminds me of all the products sold in all the head shops and bodegas through the years. First it was "legal weed", basically plant matter that sorta looked a little like weed, it was also advertised in High Times. People tried it for a while when there were droughts, or they had to take drug tests. Or CBD carts......more recently delta-8 thc....
That K-2 and Spice stuff.......there were waves of them when they had hard chemicals on them and people would really freak out. In bad ways.....and they woupd go right back to it. There were people who liked it better than weed. I remember actual angel dust. It was a lot like that. Once in the 80s we found a bag of weed. It was brownish, moist, smelled a little minty.......it was weird, but hey, we found a bag of weed......well, we got high on it, but it was different.......was it thai? Then things got weirder, we were kind of spaced out. For a good hour we didn't even speak. It was only after, reflecting on it that I said it must have been angel dust. Good thing we only had a little.
The first time I grew weed, and I'm sure it was like this for many of us, but this was the late 80s, and we couldn't always get weed. I would harvest just enough, way too early. We would microwave it, then do anything else to dry it quickly. It was green, a little nasty, bitter.......but we got high from it. This is besides all the leaves stuffed into bongs....
