I first put a seed in the ground in 1968. It was a great year. You could buy a plastic baggie with about 3/4 oz. of “Mexican Dirt Weed” for $10 from black market dealers if you could find one. They called it an ounce or dime bag. It was also called a “Lid”.
Once Oregon legalized medical marijuana I was able to grow larger plants in the open instead of under the oak trees. I had three other patients so I was legally able to grow 24 plants. Clones and seeds were easy to get. One year I had 20 plants and 4 were 6 lb. Purple Hindu Kush’s. For the last few years I have partnered with 2 of my patients to grow less (5-8) plants.
I turned 76 this year and my body is telling me I need to move off the farm and move to town. It’s been fun but with the weed glut in Oregon I will just buy from a dispensary. Prices for “flower” are as low as $2 a gram and $30 an ounce. I think it will go lower yet. Soon we’ll have 1968 prices.
My plants this year are Jeager(Purple Hindu Kush), Limon Cello, Slurty 3 and Air Heads(Runtz x White Runtz).
You guys have fun. Burn one for me.

Jesus, Frebo, you’re gonna have me bawling! i’m 68 and this could be my last also. I hope not! Hate to see a fellow west coaster hang it up! But a body has got to recognize his limitations! You had a good run! Best of luck to you! Looks like you still have a little work ahead of you, though! LOL! I salute you!

I "moved to town" this year and found a 72 x 210 lot a block or 4 from fire, hospital, craft brewery, groceries, restaurants and so much more. The town is about 14,000 people. A 2 minute drive takes me to some of the mega stores. The FM signal for internet in the country was 3 MPS and has changed to 48 MPS in the city for half the price ( no more watching a circle while waiting for signal to catch up). The lawn trimming went from over an hour to 10 minutes on a riding tractor.

Moving to town has been great for me and I can still grow.

(p.s. I'm 68 but in pretty good shape)

Gorgeous plants. Congratulations on what sounds like a great growing career. I'm not quite as old as you, but I remember lids. I think Oregon is on the leading edge of a wave that will be nation-wide when Federal legalization happens and Big Ag gets into cannabis. Then we'll see who really wants to grow... (I'm in MA, and we're down below $8 a gram, on average, and still dropping.)

I'm 63. I remember Mexican going for 15 an oz and Columbian was an outrageous 30. Both were usually loaded with seeds. Just became legal in my state several years ago and I've been growing indoors ever since. I recommend you consider getting an indoor setup. No need to stop now maybe just downsize to a more manageable size. Unless of course if it brings no joy for you anymore. I have a friend about 73-74 who just started to grow a couple years ago.

Interesting piece of lost history, thank you for sharing. I'm much younger but still from the prohibition days and feel it's sad to see the old culture washing away for Apple Store dispensary. Here on the east coast dispensary is $60-80 an 8th!!! Fortunately the grey market is much much better than that. MSOs suck!

Thank you all for your comments. The city i will move to has made growing “in the city” illegal because of smell. Pretty lame considering there are huge hemp grows at the edges of the city.
Good luke to you all with your growing.

My first trip to Oregon in 1976( bicentennial) couldn’t wait to pick mushrooms south of Eugene ( rogue river NF) in the cow patties. Ended up getting ripped off for an ounce of hash at a gas station in Medford- f’n lettuce hash.Anyhow been back almost every year since for boating, fishing, dirt bike adventures finding mushrooms in the most remote cow pastures on west coast.it’s a great state for psychodelics

I’m finally into flower. Could be a “Late” harvest.
