I recall very vividly a scene I was in ,in a small town in South Carolina. I'll try to be brief. About 8 or so years ago I was working as electrician/foreman for a medium sized traveling carnival.We had just started recruiting some local folks to help in setting up the rides . A good friend of mine asked the 15 or so guys if they knew of any good hookups in the area. That was all it took. Every single one of them pulled out a bag ! We started sampling joints ,pipes ,even a bong turned up. Narrowing the choices to 4 ,we started to "haggle" the price and availability. To our amasement the best price turned out to be from this toothless old fellow @ $160 a pound. We asked him how much we could buy and he said ,
"I have (3) 55 gallon drums full ,but I want to keep a little for my friends and stuff"
Needless to say we all made adequate purchases to last the season ! This is just one example of a type of encounter that repeated itself several times that year ,that I personally was part of. Had someone told me about it ,I probably would not have believed it.
