Let me tell you a story about "Pot":
Been in country (
Vietnam) about 2 weeks, total Newbie.
We were bivouacked in a tent city about 3 clicks outside of Bein Hoa.
One day this little Vietnamese boy, about 10-11 years old came peeking into our tent and said, "Hey, G.I., you wanna some Mara-wanna?" Hell, I was boared to death and hadn't smoked any pot since leaving California, so it had been a couple of years with all the basic training and going to Ft. Bragg for Airborne.
I said, "How much you want for some." He said, "10 Dolla." Being from California and back then, 10 dollars would get you about a Prince Albert can full of clean Mexican pot and as I still had money and really no place to spend it as we were restricted to the area, I said, "O.K, bring me some. He came back about 30 minutes later with a brown paper bag, the size you get at the super market, full of these humongus buds. These things were as long as my arm and about 8" in diameter. I said, "Holy Shit!" and paid him the 10 dollars.
I had NEVER seen pot like this and since we didn't have any papers we used toilet paper to roll a huge joint. NOW, let me tell you, this Vietnamese pot was the most devestating thing I had ever smoked in my life. I got sooo stoned just from 3 hits that I couldn't function. I even puked and I had smoked a lot of pot in my day. Everyone that tried that big joint got totally stupid and we all spent the rest of the day sleeping or listening to music. I swear I even had an out of body experiance.
Needless to say, in a combat zone that this isn't a good way to be. I used the rest of the bag to trade for favors and goodies and never, ever for the rest of my stay, smoked more than 1 hit at a time and that was just when I was on R&R. Awww...I'd love to have some of that now.
