Well, Gloria, since "Inquiring minds want to know, No, it's NOT the same
dope now as then. Marijuana back then was almost always from Mexico.
Much of the B grade less-expensive weed still is. The only "good" weed
came from Viet Nam, Thailand and Cambodia, which sadly, sort of dried up
after the Nam.

However, I grow my own now and trust me when I say, it is MUCH better.

Evidently, MANY of my contemporaries became Botanists, bio-molecular
scientists and hybridization experts, as the pot produced today has
double the amount of the active ingredient, THC, as the "old" Mexican
weed had.

What do we Old Hippies DO? Well, I cant speak for any Old Hippies other
than myself, Gloria.

I got a degree and taught school and invested in real estate until I
retired a few years ago. If you're interested, there is a great deal
more profit in real estate than teaching. This may not be "right" but
it is "so". The OTHER thing, we Old Hippies did, as a whole, was
produce a generation of stick-up-the-ass, boring, unimaginative young
Republicans

But why do you ask?

Did you assume we were all either in prison, dead or stark raving mad?

FORTY SIX DOLLARS!!!!!!

Are you still smoking what you were smoking then?

Shoot...me and my "Old Man" bought an oscilating FAN! Then we invited
all out friends to our "pad" to groove on the COOL air! We were....like,
man...the ONLY people who HAD a FAN!

What did you sell to buy your computer? Inquiring minds want to know
what hippies in the current decade are selling/buying.
