Old Weed vs New Weed with Tommy Chong Wild Ride! Clips

[PJMcK]

2. Okay, here's my experience

I’ve been smoking grass since September 1976. That’s when I moved into my first apartment in NYC where I sublet a bedroom with a private bathroom for $110 per month. The ceilings were 12 feet high and the closet had three shelves. While moving in, I found a large zip-lock bag at the back of the top shelf.

IT WAS A QUARTER POUND OF GREEN AND STICKY WEED!

I took it as a sign that it was time to start toking. I’ve never looked back.

The marijuana that I would buy in the ‘70s and early ‘80s cost (chronologically) starting at $35/ounce to $250 by 2000. It was better than street shit but not as intense as the Thai stick or hash that would occasionally cross my path.

The stuff in my early career was no where near as strong as the goodies I buy today for about $350/ounce.

Mr. Chong and I will have to disagree. Still love his work, though.
