A Peculiar Discovery

[Pugsley]

My father passed away 10 and a half years ago at the age of 83. A one time smoker of cigarettes, pipes, and cigars, he had quit smoking at least 20 years earlier but had not given up tobacco entirely. He was rarely seen without a cigar in his mouth which he chewed incessantly but never lit. Today my sister was helping my mother clean out a closet when she came across a Crown Royal sack containing a couple pipes, a handful of cigar punches, a small flask, and a tiny zippered pouch. One of the pipes is a Carey Magic Inch of Grecian briar that still smells of the aromatic tobaccos he favored. The other pipe is a tiny Kaywoodie Campus acorn bearing the aroma of a completely different kind of vegetation. Opening the tiny pouch I found what could only be very old, dried out marijuana. Looking at it, I thought back to my teenage years sneaking around, trying not get caught smoking weed. Now I wonder if he was doing the same thing at the same time.

Somebody slipped me a mickey many years ago at the tobacco store. Said it was a new aromatic blend. It damn sure had a high nicotine content or sumptin'. Had a high price also! Been looking for that same blend for years now...... ;)

Here in California marijuana was just legalized for recreational use while at the same time new huge tax increases on all tobacco products were passed. At this rate marijuana may not only be as widely available as tobacco, but even less expensive as the state tries to tax tobacco out of reach of even the casual user.

I don't know, having given it up some 40+ years ago I'm not sure I'd be up to the task, but I'm sure there are members of the younger generation of my family that would be quite happy to carry on that tradition.

Errrrr.....I heard this newer hooch is quite a bit stronger than what was going around in the 70's - 80's...... $10 an ounce Mexican, or $40 an ounce Columbian is prolly not the same as this newer stuff. I heard they use a balance beam and put a set of gnat nuts on one side, balance it out with the lettuce, and wait for a hunnert (100) dollar bill to dump it into the receptacle of your choice.......
