62 started smoking weed in the early 70s bought and sold it. Acapulco gold, Panama red, Columbian, Thai sticks, hash, hash oil, honey oil and Mexican dirt weed to name a few. Some of it was spectacular, most of it was crap. My brother’s and I grew pot in the late 70s and 80s in Humboldt and Santa Cruz. It was some good stuff. Stopped smoking weed in 98 and took it up again a year and a half ago. It took me awhile to get used to how strong the weed is nowadays. At first one hit was enough to keep me stoned for hours and two hits was almost too much. Now a hit lasts me about an hour and two hits are enough but not too much. Still can’t go out in public and interact with people after one hit. So I only smoke if I’m staying home or if I’m going out, I don’t have to talk to anyone. Don’t send me to the grocery store after a hit or two. I have chronic pain and it helps tremendously but I can’t do it and go to work so I suffer all day until I get home.

Sounds like you need a slightly early harvested good pain killer , for clarity and pain killing the msnl tangerine dream I just grew would be perfect for you ( I only allow up to 5% amber because I like to be active while high) there’s also a good thc simple syrup recipe I use pre work every day with all my energy strains in it so maybe try mini edible doses while working

Your post brings back old memories, I do remember the Columbian and Mexican weed days Some was much better than the others. Back then it was a good practice to try a doobie before you purchase it. And occasionally they would be some black sticky gummy hash come through that would knock your shoes off. I feel like weed today is much better. Drying and curing my own weed I get an excellent taste and I can smile the aroma of different strains. I will be 62 years old very shortly and enjoying every day
Happy growing and good luck my friend !

Add me to the list. I am nearly sixty. Quit for many years for various reasons like those described and a few years ago "re-engaged’. If you are one of us suffering from the maladies that come with surviving this long you may find it of great help. I know I did. Though I was skeptical at first. As to the potency thing just use your head and find what you like and how much you need. I prefer a mild version with mostly sativa for the day and if the pain is bad or I just need to relax a heavier one at night. With so many alternatives now available you can find what you like on the THC and CBD front with a little research. This site is a good one. And the people super helpful. Have to admit I chuckled as I read about “my life” in the seventies and eighties in the responses above. Good to know there are still a few of us out here.

If you tag me into your journal I can move it where it belongs. Use the @ sign.
I just started smoking again after a 30 year break. I found for the fist week or so it hit me hard but my tolerance quickly increased a bit

Thanks for the response…I’m thinking of mixing the White Widow CBD Auto with my next non-Auto regular Harlequin…mix them together…and start at zero THC, so to speak, and build from there.

There r other methods than smoking u should also check into, it helped me.

Maybe get / look for more traditional strains or heritage / landrace strains that have not been so genetically concentrated / hybridized. I believe the Real Seed Company specializes in these offerings. Or check out World of Seeds. No experience with either just passing along info.

53 here, I smoke for both pain and pleasure. I’ve smoked on and off since about 13. It’s pretty amazing how far it’s come, there’s so many strains that it’s hard to choose what to grow and smoke next. I gotta say though, I’m really fond of the ilgm gorilla glue autos that I’ve been smokin. You’ll get used to it quick, just start with a hit or 2 and see how ya feel!

I’m in the mid 50’s. Smoked plenty of good weed in the late 70’s and 80’s - columbian gold, acapulco gold, panama red and specially when skunk started hitting the market in the early 80’s - was awesome stuff. Yeah the best stuff I grow these days is considerably better than the weed from the past but there was good stuff back then and trash, just as there is now.
