I keep hearing about a date coming up called OIL Day. Supposedly
July 10 turned upside down, sideways and spun around will spell
OIL. Another National Holiday for Cannabis Consumption. We
didn’t need a holiday to smoke weed in the 70’s. We had a group
of fellers in Tahlequah who got together daily with the sole intent of
smoking a lot of pot. We called ourselves “The Smoke a Lid a Day
Club.”
In retrospect, it was pretty easy to smoke that much weed when
it was “water leaves” and “spider tops.” Most of the plants would
never mature because we kept pulling leaves off of them, putting
them in a pillowcase, and throwing them in a clothes dryer at the
laundry in hopes of drying the leaves sufficiently to smoke. Don’t
misunderstand me. There was good pot in the 70’s. A few folks,
who lived over near Stilwell, grew good pot on their chicken farm.
They grew some big ol’’ buds we called “steer pods” because they
didn’t have any seeds in them. Kinda like the calves who had been
“cut” on our dads’ farms in order to keep them from tearing down
the fence to get at the cows.
So how does all of this B.S. tie into OIL Day? Well, I have been

puffing on a vape cartridge a couple of times while writing this
article, so you can tell I am all over the place with this story. But
what I really like about the vape cartridge is my ability to use it
discreetly and effectively control my dosage. By taking a couple of
very small puffs, I can medicate myself throughout the day without
becoming too stoned to function in my daily life. I can partake
just enough to manage my severe back pain without the use of
oxycodone. That, my friends, is what medical marijuana is all
about.
