![]() ![]() You become lazy here-throwing away roaches and acting so nonchalant about the whole thing-just because the prices are so mindblowing low. For just 300 Pee you can cop about four ounces of the most beautiful loose ****. "For 100 Piastres (about a dollar) you can cop 10 prerolled fat joints (round as cigarettes) wrapped in groovy plastic bags. ![]() Any kid on the street who pesters you with 'Hey GI, you want number one girl?' knows where you can score. It is smoked everywhere, especially around groovy sounds."Ī "Speedy 4" from Nha Trang: "Grass is all over the place if you're aware of it. The Army likes to lie about these statistics-I am not exaggerating in my estimation. About 60% of the company blows grass and about 40% of the entire post does. Much of the audience is O-heads."Īn SP/4 in Dian: "Grass is easier to get than booze. ![]() The Third Eye in Vietiane is a head-run night-club-restaurant featuring folk and rock. Lived in Laos for four days on about $5, smoking opium with the Laos. "I hitchhiked from Bangkok to Vientiane, Laos, in February. Never killed anyone yet, so I don't know. "I've met many paratroopers who swear by grass for killing people. So I turned around and walked back down the road which really blew the sergeant's mind. I walked up to him, an only then did I realize that I was the only guy standing up, and everyone else was under cover. Bodies splashed all over the road, and I just diddleybopped down the road digging people with no heads, and some sergeant starts yelling at me to get down. "Oh yeah, I went to reinforce an ambushed patrol once stoned on Meth. "Most Army jobs are so intellectually easy that it is possible to be stoned all the time, which many of us do for (literally) weeks on end. I also went to Army school in the States stoned on acid. I tripped on Byrds' music for about two hours. Four people total dropped and we mainly had an introvert head trip, as there was little visual stimulation. Our favorite combination is HOG (hash, O, grass.) I dropped 500 micro-g's of Acid last month. I'm stoned 50% of my waking hours, like now for instance. Occasionally we have Afghani and Pakistani hashish and sometimes meth. Of course it's not so open in the world."Īn SP/4 writing from a mountain in Vietnam: "Grass is plentiful and cheap. You see GI's walking to and from places blowing all the time. The common practice is to blow outside the barracks, rap a while, then back in to listen to some music. Out of 600 men a good solid half, possibly more, turn on with J's regularly. ![]() Walking along a road one might think how ironical it is that here, in Vietnam, the streets are literally 'paved with gold.' "Because pot is so cheap and abundant, it is smoked like a regular cigarette-tossed away like butts when it becomes too short, and a new one is lighted up. The Vietnam experience is doing a lot more good, in some ways, than you would think. Because it is so cheap and effective, many very straight people come over and by the time they return to Altus, Oklahoma, or wherever, they are full-fledged heads and have a new outlook on many things. 1 or 2 at the most is all you need to get high, where it might take 4 or 5 in the world. In Vietnam you buy ten already rolled J's for about 100 piastres (88c). "There is one interesting thing about grass here. It may have something to do with complete feeling of oneness (same clothes, same paycheck, no competition for girls, etc.) or it could be other things. "There is something about being a head in Vietnam that you can't get back in the world. This is implicitly recognized in the practice of allowing servicemen to turn in contraband before reaching US Customs, with no questions asked.Ī corporal writes from a former French resort town in Vietnam: The fact remains that the military provides at least as much exposure to marijuana as a big-city college. This is on top of the generation-wide taste for novel thrills and some of these men were blowing pot even even before they were drafted. So incredible numbers of enlisted men are smoking grass to "get away," and more than that, to reinforce their feelings of solidarity with other unwilling conscripts. The key word in this generation is revolt and the current war has no meaning for most draftees -it is obvious that the Vietnamese don't want them in their country, and it is not obvious at all what interest a draftee has in being there. By 1971 more GIs were dying of drug overdoses in Vietnam that from combat. Things were really, really bad in the US Armed Forces in late 1968. ![]()
