I was more or less, straight onto weed, which is stronger. After a few years I tried to smoke hash but it has no effect on me, it's not strong enough. Hash is always available around here, but a lot of it, I wouldn't touch with a bargepole. I have a couple of friends who like yourself, still prefer that when they can get it.
Flew to Hamburg via Dusseldorf so had a 4 hour wait there. Liking the Gin comments, I do like a Hendrix. Goes well with rosemary and olives.
I saw them twice in the 80s. Brilliant band for a bit of a laugh. "Miss Macclesfield" and "Dan's Underpants" were my favorites.
