Holy crap! I just realized Johnny found this gem two years ago! YES! I just found mine last month in an antique shop in NH. Nice one Johnny, you are the true trailblazer. I only wish I had seen it sooner!!!

What's wrong with this? :P

And don't worry about the herb... that'll all be legal here in the NE soon enough. I don't know about low prices, but with the potency there is now, you can stretch your money and your stash a little longer...

Mike- the problem is that the yoga tights aren't for you, or any man, they're for the other ladies. That's what you learn from living in Boston! :o

as for the herb - it is becoming legal, but not cheap! Not yet anyways. I've been told you could get ounces of pure sativas like Acapaulco Gold, Panama Red, etc, for $10-20 per ounce in the 70's. Of course it had a lot of seeds & stuff. It looks like outdoor is making a comeback in Colorado and helping to drive prices down. Mass. and Maine will be voting on this in November 2016. Our love of skiing isn't the only thing we share with CO!

Personally, I like to get out on my skinny cross-country skis and throw tele turns because it makes me feel like a kid again to take rolling tumbles down powdery slopes and because it makes low-angle slopes that would be a bore on a heavy duty setup (AT or tele) suddenly become much more interesting.
