Well for me it was nepali charas. I had a partner back in the day who use to travel to nepal and india, ( i actualy went on a trip with him in 98, WOW)
and he use to somehow magicaly have nepali charas with him upon his return>He would sell it to us for 20 bucks a gram, and we would all usualy end up buying at least 10 grams each> Then sit around and blast chillums all day long at our old hemp store called THE HEMP EXCHANGE.
Good time indeed, and of course this way way before bubble graced my pipe, but i am happy to have those memories of smoking that exotic hashish from the other side of the world.
So let me hear what your memories are of old school hash.
