History of Weed

History of Weed Part II

It's 420-8 again

Seven days after 4/20, my cuz came down from north 12 hours away by train. Only that this journey took him 20 hours, thanks to the hartal (CPI-M). Was good to see the little one in almost more than a year. And he brought a little baggie of green. (Should last me a while. Thanks bro.) So my cousins and I smoked up for the first time in our lives on 4/28. Hadn't had a smoke in 4 months & 27 days. Tobacco isn't worth shit.

My last juicy jay. I never thought I'd ever use the rollies I brought with me this year. They were left overs from when I vacated my apartment 11 months ago. I had the bong then so why roll except for when you wanna blaze outdoors. I think I had 3 zig zags, a blueberry, raspberry & mellow mango here that I saved for last. Well, seems like this is the last juicy roll. In fact, I just toked off it.  There are no juicy jays or zig zags here. They have OCB though. And you have to know where to go coz its not common. OCB comes in a 1 size I think. It's small but what can you do when rollies are hard to find. By the way, mellow mango is up there of all the flavors. Smoking spliffs is drying my throat too fast. Not good.

Nov 1-4

Sunday: Although my initial plan was to attend church before my cousin came to visit me on Sunday, I never made it. I slept on till they arrived. My cousin was supposed to hang with me for a couple days here. But the last minute change in plans was inevitable for him. Seeing that we sat down & broke some herb to toke. We got stoned & slumped for a bit in my room watching tv.

Later that evening when he was to return, my aunt (his mom) persisted me to come along with them. They live about a 3 hour drive from where I am, which incidentally is where my dad was born & forms a big native family base. I'm always a bit hesitant to be around unless my cousins are around. Anyway, unexpected of sorts I hopped on the wagon with them.


Monday: Good sleep. Good tea. Good sandwiches. My cuz & I went to this restaurant that usually serves fresh toddy. Today's wasn't that fresh tasting. Maybe heat has something to do with it. When fresh, toddy made from palm is sweet & easily drinkable. It is whitest (like milk) when fresh. This place also has a delicacy menu that boasts frog, lobster, tortoise, prawns, squid & many others. All cooked kerala style. Getting high before eating is recommended. :) Watched a shitty movie later.

Tuesday: Hung with my cuz who had some chores to do. We went to our grandma's grave & later got high at our younger cuz's. He wasn't there though. We called him up n let him know. He was pretty high when we got him on the phone. peace, peace

Wednesday: It's been nice here. Great food. Always. Cuz is set to leave for Bangalore in the evening. I hop on a KSRTC n reach tiruvalla. First time since I came here in 2009 I take the state transport bus. They have electronic receipts now. Who knew. Buy 2 cigs &  walk to the station trying to light up a roach. Train doesn't leave in 3 hours. Toke one, go in, drink coffee. Walk to next platform. Buy Top Gear's 50th anniversary ed(Oct). 300 pages. Meet some homeless kids. Try to peddle me for money. Talk to them a bit. ... toke one outside reading the mag. Come back in. Read. Train arrives on time on platform 2. I get a seat & read most of the journey.

P.S - My cuz told me about an incident that happened with him & his colleague while they were at an internet cafe in Amsterdam a yr or more ago. When they sat down he said the cafe was smoky. So his colleague taking encouragement from this, lights up a cigarette. Next thing, a guy warns them about smoking tobacco in there.
sick, huh.

Home made cane sugar

i got this from a guy who helps around the neighborhood. With sugar prices today, we might wanna resort to cost cutting later if/when raw resources run out.  For terminator salvation day:

Squeeze couple of sugar cane sticks
get the juice
don't drink it
oh, you'll need an eathern vessel/(not too deep)
pour some of the cane juice into the vessel
stir the vessel around till the little bit of cane juice becomes more paste-y.

when you make the whole amount.. ok i may have had a memory lapse here, butdry the paste in a coconut shell (for traditional taste) or a dry vessel. The mixture should be mixed WITH WATER as needed to maintain the viscosity of honey or slightly less.

This cane sugar in liquid form is an ancient favorite of the southern travancore region with the all too familiar & traditional kerala breakfast - "putt-u" .

Mixes to the combo: banana, ghee in addition to the above

Travelogue

So I went to visit my cousin & hang for a few days. I'd to travel around 15 hours north by train to this place in India called Bangalore, or more correctly as of a not too old restore, Bengaluru. The name itself means a home of beans after an old folklore of how a hungry king was fed by a poor old lady from a village. Today it is no village but a city to be at. It was a cool 5 days. I even managed to score! Thanks to somebodies of course. Thirty dollars. Imagine that. The herbs are from agricultural land, buds flattened and have a strong peppery smell.

Agricultural produce: Cannabis Indica
