How common was POT among Vietnam soldiers?

Haven't you ever heard the song “Hey Joe” by Joni Hendrix?

POT

Loves pot.
He probably has two rastafarian items of clothing on right now.

13% of Vietnam was killed. Determining what percentage of them were soldier and civilian is basically arbitrary.

needed something to make the pain go away...

>Weed back in the 60s was far weaker than weed today and GI's would make pipes out of almost anything, it's extremely easy to put two holes in an object.
My uncle told me once he and his friends would just continuously smoke joints for half a day.
I tried to replicate that once. I could see the wind for a while, scribbled a bunch of nonsense down, and locked all my doors and hid in a closet when my mom unexpectedly stopped by.
I handled it pretty well.
Fuck that shit forever. I quit pretty soon after.

of high...

>what is moderation

That statistic doesn't mean what everyone thinks it means.

Had a co-worker who was a pleasant New Englander; mild-mannered and very friendly. Found out later on he was a Combat Engineer in Vietnam. Didn't talk about it much though.

TFW: He had to retire to take care of his son who got hit by an IED in Iraq

that's bullshit my weed sucks

I smoked weed for a few years regularly. I didnt just try smoking joints all day on a lark.
I didnt know 60s weed was weak and just thought my uncle and his friends were just way tougher than me so i tried it.

Hey kid wanna do some D.R.U.G.S

The fact that gi's picked bushweed and threw away the buds doesn't mean it was weaker back then. You think the mexican cartels grow hydroponic supderduperfancymegapotent strain? It's the same shitty low thc weed as always.

I don't think that big my old man was at Khe Sanh and he said they used it very little but when he came home he used it everyday till he died on Jan 21 2019. I have a friend who was caught with weed while in Vietnam he was navy though. One of my friend's dad was a Army truck driver and he smoked it and moved it while he was there.

Based boys

>post operational trauma,
Shit didn't look. My dad was fucked up from being over there he had a record from almost killing a guy when he came home. His mom was big in the getting the whole PTSD being recognized as what it was by the VA. She fought for years to help him. He was a good guy and was never bad to me or my mom when he died he left my mom with no burden

Plain Old Telephone System was pretty common Im sure. VOIP wouldnt be around for several decades

This movie was retarded, that Sheriff couldn't have been nicer.

if Rambo thought he could act like a spaz like that and get away with it, he deserved to be shot

Nicer? he was trying to make sure he didnt linger in his town because he seemed like a hobo Vietnam vet. Thats not very nice

Penis
On
Tranny
it was a huge problem in vietnam and left a lot of the soldiers confused and traumatized

Rambo was a bum, not only was a burden to society, he was a menace!

When I enlisted in 1979, around 60% of E-6 and below smoked. It dropped to 40% for E-7 and above, while it looks like officers never got their numbers above 15%.

And then some joyless fuck went and invented a viable urinalysis. When I retired in 1999, the numbers were hovering around 2-5% for all ranks and grades.

Rambo was a man who fought a war for his country and they threw him away when he returned. They treated him like vermin and didn't help him transform from a cold blooded predator formed by war into a gas station attendant (which to them was his only apparent use)
Men like Rambo are the only reason society exists.
Those deputies and that sheriff got lucky it wasn't worse.

what does it mean then, wise guy?

Expendable? What mean expendable?

You don't know obviously. An entire army isn't expendable. If it's lost everything else is.

You not expendable, user.

can't believe i laughed so hard at this stupid post

My boomer father smoked a ton of pot. Gave me his old Vietnam era Army jacket. There was a baggie with pot seeds in one of the pockets.

Weed in the 60s through the 80s was running in the 3-5% thc range. Current strains are anywhere from 15 to 30%. Back in the day, I would smoke a whole doobie and then go throw a Frisbee in the park for a few hours. Now, it takes about a quarter hit to turn me into a couch decoration for 9 hours. Shit’s like Thorazine.

I miss the days of buying a fat 4 finger lid of Colombian Gold for $40.

Cartels got out of the weed trade a few years ago, when more states started legalizing it. They moved into meth for a while, now it looks like they’re getting into heroin and fentanyl in a big way.

I enlisted in 77. Before urinalysis, the only way to catch you was with dogs, and we all knew when they were going to be on base.

I think your numbers for officers may be low. I remember more than one occasion an ea-6b returned full of smoke and 4 very baked aircrew. I also caught our F4 natops officer with two joints in his sleeve pocket while preparing for flight. And that doesn't count parties - only on duty.

I’m 60, the VA pays for phone and internet service here at the home. They found out that letting us look at porn keeps us just as quiet as a whole dixie cup full of pills.

Percentages may vary by service. I was CG. Guy I talked to in the AF around the same time indicated they had rampant pot use across all ranks and grades. Marines smoked it by the truckload.

>actual boomers on Jow Forumsoffer a window into our future

Only in Western Front

One thing you can look forward to - I actually own guns and I can shoot them in my back yard. 50 rounds today, but I'm working and have a tech issue to fix.

>3-5% thc range. Current strains are anywhere from 15 to 30%.
Jesus fuck.

>I could see the wind for a while
>The Devil's Cabbage

You're a fuckin goober who should probably only consume water and crackers.

>never got visuals off weed
Blaze harder faggot.

Thank you for your service gramps. Enjoy that porn.

>dixie cup full of pills.
Or
>porn
The 1st one knocks out the next six hours at least. They were giving my Gma some crazy amounts of opiates and benzos and that was standard.

So you think the OP was just asking to get the opinions of people that know as much about it as he does? If you ask a question about Viet Nam era vets, don't be surprised if you get answers from Viet Nam era vets. 4-Chan has been around since 2003. I've been here on various boards since 2004. When I did network security, I could claim time browsing /b/ as billable hours.

dude i was just happy to see some 60yo old vet posting on here and found his porn yes benzos no story funny, so i thanked him for his service and wished him joy, honestly. i didn't even read the rest of the thread.

I hope he made it out of Nam

That's bullshit because landrace strains have 20%+ THC. It's higher because better growing in the USA after more relaxed laws. Mexican Sativa is good bud if it's grown well, but grown shitty with shitty packaging and shitty oversight stored in shitty conditions turns that THC content from 25% to 3-5%.

It's more devil lettuce crowd and statist governments who benefit from illegal drug trade.

Did you even read the 2 posts you’re trying to refute? First of all, Mexican Sativa is a modern strain so it’s going to be within that 15-30% range I mentioned. Those 3-5% strains I mentioned were what was available to us 40 years ago. No shit, landrace strains have higher THC content. They’ve been selectively breeding for that for almost a half century.

Now, let’s discuss your bro-science-tier rant about THC. Aside from the fact that there’s no THC content until decarboxylation occurs, packaging and storage will have an insignificant effect on THCA. Mold and mildew will degrade the product into mush before oxidization converts the THCA into CBN. Yes, growing conditions affect content. If a grower is going to plant such an oddly specific strain, he’s probably not going to half ass it. You are aware MS is a 70-30 hybrid, right?

Meanwhile, you probably shouldn’t post when you’re stoned. There’s a lot of anons on here who are much better at it than you.

Do you even know what a landrace strain is? It's strains that have been cultivated for THOUSANDS of years that grow in their natural habitats.

3-5% is poorly grown weed both modern and pre-history. In fact, hash became popular in lol hot climates as cannabis dries out easily and it's concentrated.

tl;dr quit looking at Leafly. I did a whole fucking 30 page term paper on drug use with the ancient Scythians and 1/3 of that paper made up on ancient cultivation of marijuana.

Specific breeding does produce higher THC contents, and I'm not debating that strains have been bred for lower and higher THC content. HOWEVER, the "it's stronger today" is like saying modern beer has higher alcohol content. It's been made consistantly stronger with better technology, but that doesn't mean beer in history was always weak. It all depended on the brewer, just like farmers who grow 25%+ in Afghanistan and have since Alex took a tour of it.

Well shit- funny stories definitely. Kinda makes me wish I didn't have to stop smoking a while back. But federal de scheduling is probably right around the corner, so then I can smoke again and not worry about the people's republic of cancerfornia finding out and using it to take away my gun rights.

Appeal to authority, much?

>not worry about the people's republic of cancerfornia finding out and using it to take away my gun rights.

Recreational use is legal in California. No permit required.

>inhaling lead fouling into your lungs
great idea

Well, he's appealing to his own authority, which has more legitimacy than appealing to a third party authority figure simply because they wield authority.
It's just a way for him to say "I clearly know what I'm talking about."

Ok, that’s a passable defense. Now he gets to post the term paper to back his claim. I also take exception to his comparison of pot growing to brewing. It’s an apples/oranges. One is straight up horticulture, the other is zymurgy. I will concede the landrace point, my time scale was way off.

He’s either not very good at articulating his points in writing, or he doesn’t know as much as he thinks he does.
