I remember when I was a kid in 70's I was on a train from Portland to Los Angelos and I met up with some kids who had a pound of Moroccan hashish. We found a unlocked empty sleeper car and hot boxed it all night long. It was my first hash experience and was so enjoyable that I've been a hash connoisseur ever since.lol
