Back in the day
the standard high was Mexican
$25/ounce
an ounce equaling 28 grams
then the DEA sprayed Paraquat on the fields
On a few lucky occasions
we came across Gold Columbian
a high strong enough
one joint between 4 people
had us rolling on the floor
hysterical
when another friend walked into the room
and said “Hello”
Now
things are different
the weed we get
is guaranteed to get you off
at almost $10/gram
it had better
but not exactly the same buzz
a high so strong
balanced between
organic and chemical
Sometimes
but not all the time
makes one yearn
for those early days
