started smoking in '73 while in the army in the canal zone,panama. the unofficial army motto was "uncles sam want to get you high" because everywhere gi's were stationed, there was some of the best weed. i only started growing 10 yrs ago because i lost all my contacts.

I hear so many great things about the 70s, but man can you imagine giving up "3 finger lid" of some OG for $15? haha
i just cant picture it in my head, here i am occasionally buying from the clinic $60 for an 8th lol

56 years of age, growing since early 70's off and on - got serious last five or so and loving it especially since I discovered the wide world of seeds on the web, life is groovy in a righteous sort of way. Now if I can get that columbian gold feeling again! Peace ~Bill

 

[chuckyoufarley]

im 50 been puffin 35 yrs started growing bout 8-9 yrs ago mabee 10 lol

 

[M.S.T.]

I'm 37 my parents grew pot in New Jersey(believe it or not), growing up on my grandfathers farm, sellin corn at the roadside stand. Been farming all my life, but just started growing ganja seriously about 6 yrs ago. Mainly because I didn't want to buy it anymore, and it really helps me get along. I have had type 1 diabetes since age 21. It helps in so many ways, too many too list.
Great thread, good way to get to know are fellow farmers a little better.
Peace and Rock On!
