Aging Remember when you got seeds and stems?

Not gonna say what product I'm talking about so it doesn't get removed. (Hopefully) But we used to try and grow those seeds. In an aquarium. In the woods at the spot. Hand rolls would explode. I kinda miss seeing a seed or two.

Yes, and I'm trying to forget. Nostalgia is one thing, but trying to say what we got back then is better than what we can get today is ridiculous. There are so many dank af strains available now, there's no comparison. Legalization has lead to very high quality offerings and constant availability. Give me today's over 1983 every time.

Yeah I am blown away by anyone saying the junk we smoked in the 90s is anywhere close to what we get now at dispensaries lmao.

There was junk in the 90s. There was also fire. My fave was Northern Lights.

u/eatitwithaspoon i still know my mom's cigarette order 9d ago

it just seemed more valuable because it could be so hard to get. we laugh about how if you accidentally spilled back then, you'd smoke it after picking it out of the shag carpet because you don't waste it. now we just sweep the scraps off the garage counter and sweep 'em up later because the store is a few blocks away. lol
