I was raised in Miami, so everything you've written is 100% accurate.
I remember when the South Beach area was an absolute DUMP.
On 1st and Ocean drive, there was that dog track, the Miami Beach Kennel Club. It finally shut down in 1980, but the whole area was a blight.
Crime, drugs, trash all over the place, etc. It was like skid row at the beach.
I remember when the Europeans came in and bought all the real estate in South Beach cheap.
They spent untold millions refurbishing the area - hotels, etc. Finally tore down that dog track.
They made a fortune. Yes, real estate prices skyrocketed. It certainly helped that "Miami Vice" was the highest rated program in the late 70s early 80s while this
transformation was taking place. This was a case where "life imitated art." Miami Vice was an awesome show!
I was fortunate and lived in a place called "Bay Point" which is across Channel 10 on Biscayne Boulevard. When my folks were elderly, they moved
to Bal Harbour. I'm very familiar with Miami Beach. I suspect Buckwheat lives in either Surfside or the North Beach area.
Nothing too chronic for me lol. Have you had wax yet? Things are real different from when I was a daily partaker.
Wax is really all I've had the past year. A gram lasts me a couple months, even with having a few hits every other day or so. I mean, I usually just have a little before bed, and occasionally on a weekend might do a little more. But with wife/kids around (kids are 16/18) I can't just sit around getting stoned every night! Plus with the wax, and my vape-pen, I can do it pretty much inconspicuously in the house with no one the wiser. Wife doesn't really care anyway, but don't need the kids seeing it, even though my step-daughter has her own stash of some I am pretty sure!
When I get out of town for the weekend with my friends, a couple still bring the green. But even then we usually use my friends big vape machine, which has a temp setting and everything. Makes it really smooth. We still roll the occasional J too.

Exactly what my buddy says. Only thing that scares me is he says some of it knocks him into next tuesday ! No more reeking when you come in the house and he says it lasts him longer too. Only down side is the danger in making it. Another buddy of mine got burned pretty bad when his roomates almost burned the house down
Went to visit my youngest brother at Penn State 2 years ago at his frat and all they were doing was dabbing with the butane torch. Haven't been so high - didn't love it though as I became more of a mush then I usually do with hitting a vape, blunt, joint, etc.
Now we are finally getting some useful info in this thread!
I use a vaporizer. But have never tried wax - and honestly dont even know what it is or where to get it. Any "explain it like I am 5" info would be helpful (although I hope a 5 year old wouldnt want this info).
Thanks.
Ever hit a Volcano??? We had one in college freshman year with the dorms along with a sploof and an ozone generator - smoked that shit in there all day and never once got caught. Even had the kids across the hall get the cops to come while we were smoking ourselves since they had been hitting a grav bong with no catch shit stunk. We were geeking out though lol.
Been a ton of years and still miss that Volcano.
Not sure about the Volcano, so probably not. LOL. But I don't remember half the shit I did in college. Bongs and bowls was how I was raised. Now I'm and adult and smoke out of a classy vape pen, in my bedroom bath, with the fan on, and then eat 3 ice cream sandwiches and watch TV for a few hours and hope no one asks me any hard questions. :smoking:
I am still a wax newbie of sorts. It's a brownish, gummy looking substance, that is REALLY sticky. You have to keep it cool, or even frozen before you can put it in the vape pen. I am not sure if what I get is considered "shatter", but that is similar from what I'm told. Shatter is like hard candy you break off a little piece and put it in. The wax I get you can keep in a little silicone-rubber container that actually comes with the pen. Sometimes that keeps it cool enough to break off a little ball (I call them booger balls, cuz that's what they look like). But in the fridge for about 5-10 min will do the trick too.
Cost is about $45-50 gram, unless I'm getting ripped off (which is possible), but the guy I get it from isn't a dealer per se, just a huge pot head/druggie (and elementary school PE teacher...lol), so I trust he's only taking a small cut. But it's perfect stuff for me as described above, and it lasts me because I don't go overboard on it, nor do I really have to share it, outside of the wife occasionally having a puff.
The pens are pretty cheap too, about $25 shipped. They get gunked up after a while, and it's tough to clean really, so I figure just order a new one every 6-8 months or so. I think it's called the Atmos Jr. You can charge it in any USB port. You can get better ones for sure, my buddy had a really nice pen at our last trip to the cabin, but I forget what it was called.
