Another one of those times when a bag of weed stands between you and a completely different life. Perhaps, had you 'got your half' you may have decided to postpone your stint in the army. Just the same, better late than never.

"All those seeds and stems..." weren't readily apparent in the early days. Later when grass became a marketable commodity instead of the free and widely available cultural panacea that it was supposed to be, the 'seeds and stems were included to bulk up the purchase.

My first 'nickel bag' was all leaf...stuffed into a sandwich size baggie, no buds, no seeds and easily concealable on my way back to Canada to, ironically, avoid the army. But that bag of weed was still highly consequential despite being out of sight.

On my way from L.A. to Canada, I met some hippies and we toured Golden Gate Park. Had I even thought of digging out that bag of leaf, there is a really good chance I wouldn't have left.
