I used to watch Matches videos occasionally have no idea how I discovered him... had no idea he passed... it is like a comfort thing for me to go back and binge his videos... first time I saw this one... I had a feeling he was one of the cool kids 😎
This is the best story I definitely relate!!! Sounds a lot like how I grew up except for the smoking section on the school bus! Great stuff the good old days! Miss your stories matches! I have the Friday savinelli ready to go for 7pm!
When your parents wanna talk to you about stuff and your eyes are red like in the terminator and your cloths smell like a beerbrewery. And you try hard to understand what they talk about but time and space is in total chaos. And at the end you concentrate to understand a few words to that you can reply in the most unstoned way posible After that you need more to relax. Oh sweet memories.
Fun facts: 52% of Americans have tried marijuana at some point in their lives. 44% of those who have tried it continue to use it. 33 U.S. states and 2 U.S. territories have legalized cannabis, and agricultural hemp production was just legalized by the feds. For some, cannabis use is a phase they go through and for others it's part of their long-term lifestyle..kind of like tobacco use, but different.
I’m a daily smoker. Marijuana gets a bad rep and I don’t know why. Alcohol which I only drink maybe once or twice a year will obliterate me far worse than marijuana does. I’m even into the concentrates
This has got to be one of the best stories I have listened to you thus far. Great work super funny. Also I picked up bulk of Haunted Bookshop and cubed cut burley and I have got to say that I love it. They are both great. I actually prefer just the cube cut burley.
Hi John, A beautiful story from the old days . Sounds familiar . I rolled on the floor laughing ! I always look forward to your latest opdate . Greetings from Belgium
LOL, I need it every so often too! Interestingly enough, a picture of the girl who was on the bus with me is featured on a class reunion invitation. I had to chuckle.
I can't believe I never saw this one. Classic in my book. 😂 We could have been twins back in the day, man. I kid you not. I'll have to look for an old High School photo - same hair, too. Just a little later. I grew up in the "grunge" era (early-mid 90's). Torn up jeans, a flannel shirt and a little something extra in the 5th pocket. haha...another great video!
Wow who is that guy in the picture!! John what a great story... I laughed my ass off... Reminds me of a few days I had... Very similar!!.. Your head fell off...!!! That was great!!! Haaaaaaaa!!!!! Yup so did mine John... So did mine.... See you this weekend my friend take care
Ha! I love it. I was born in '73, but have some similar stories. Dropping microdot in Chapel at a military school my senior year..... then you head out to formal parade after Chapel. Good times...... Cheers from Oregon.
this is a good story as always, just wacko "my head fell off and everything sound like a sewer pipe" that is so hilarious. and wrong bus too?! you are an American treasure.
Fantastic tale yet again. This came close to being my favorite Matches story but the ( Winter of 73 ) is still the winner, ducks for the win, lol. Thanks for making my Friday :)

HIPPY!haha. Great story as always! got a kick out of the "casual pot smoker" line. Funny how every one was a few hundred years old back then. Can't wait to hear the college story.
Good grief, Charlie Brown this has to be the best I've seen in a while. Plus, the comments were as interesting as the video. Some of us boomers probably will live to see it legalized, & some will be growing it in their butterfly gardens.
"Mental intercourse". That's a new one. What a story. So 70's. I was laughing out loud to the very end. This video belongs in the Matches860 Hall of Fame.
Well, there was a lot of stuff floating around school in those days, she could have been tripping for all I knew. Then again, I may have been so messed up that she appeared messed up too LOL
Interesting guy however. He did pretty well for himself having no education. He worked several jobs at a time his whole life and had many a story tell spin.
Great vids you do john. Could you do a vid on what type of recording cam you like to use. You vids are very clear and your editing is great. Thanks from BackAcre Dave.
Thanks for the kind words David! Till I make such a video, I normally use a Canon VIXIA R80 which is a full feature camcorder with an adjustable monitor so you can make sure you're properly in the screen. The VIXIA is simple to use and transfers files easily as well. Since most of my videos are sit down, start to finish, there is little editing, but I do use PowerDirector13 as a video editor. This year I'm hoping to do more smaller projects using my phone which takes pretty fair video also.
The drug that was going around in the 1970s that was referred to as THC was more often than not PCP or other related chemical mixes. If you were lucky you got Marinol which is synthetic THC, but chances are what you got in high school was more likely closer to a meth like substance.
That's funny. I saw your high school picture and thought you looked like my one buddy from high school. You would have been in my circle of friends. We were "casual pot smokers" too. lol Like every morning. 😊✌️
Yeah, I did the same. Although I never quit smoking pot until my wife and I got together. Five years ago. But when I was able to purchase alcohol, I definitely slowed down on the weed. lol
lmfaoo you are too funny John. love hearing your stories. I was the same way in highschool. haha same with my mom and dad. we all grow up tho. always fun looking back on those times. ahh love to cube cut my flake tobacco. enjoy my friend!
Hi John, thanks for giving me the incentive to upload my own summer of '72 "enhanced" experience! Check it out if you get the time. All the best, Stephen
those pills sound a lot like the Marijuana infused coconut oil pills I make for my wife. she suffers from a really painful blood clot disorder. if I take a half pill speech and time slow down and I just sit there baked out of my head giggling. I'll stick with the pipe smoking.
I didn't mean it in any kind of derogatory way. I seem to have an ear for famous voices. For instance, a friend of my wife and her husband visited us from England and as the visit progressed I was intrigued by her husband's voice and accent. Then it suddenly occured to me why his voice sounded familiar. I blurted out, "You sound like Mick Jagger". He laughed and explained to me that he grew up in the same area of England that Mick Jagger came from. LOL.
Oh Hell,with those hairs in your youth photo you wouldn't get drafted into military that for sure, as for smoking bans of our days, are you allowed to smoke inside while you are at daily work? Have a nice weekend, Paul
I had Vietnam hanging over my head till sometime in that year (1972). They picked the upcoming years draft #'s and my birthday came up #354. The nice lady at the draft board told me I was off the hook as long as we didn't have a world war.
My favorite story. Had to come back and revisit this one. I'll miss you John. God bless.
I used to watch Matches videos occasionally have no idea how I discovered him... had no idea he passed... it is like a comfort thing for me to go back and binge his videos... first time I saw this one... I had a feeling he was one of the cool kids 😎
Probably my favourite story of John's
"I was a bum in high school and my head fell off"....John H.
Haha! Epic tale of times gone by!
All true Mike!
This is the best story I definitely relate!!! Sounds a lot like how I grew up except for the smoking section on the school bus! Great stuff the good old days! Miss your stories matches! I have the Friday savinelli ready to go for 7pm!

That's got to be the best story yet!! What a great laugh!! Thank you.
Many thanks!
“...was reading my assignment and all of a sudden, my head fell off.” That’s one for the books!
And that's exactly what happened!
I truly enjoy all of your stories but this one is my favorite...love the photo of a young matches 860
Another great story , John . I always enjoy your stories .
Thanks Lewis!

"Fondling each other's brain, it was beautiful." LOL! Good stuff John always enjoy your stories.
The magic of being high! LOL
Brought back some great High School memories.....Some are a little foggy, but great nonetheless!!
Loved this Story! Took me back in time! Great Channel.
Thanks so much for watching!
This has got to be one of the best stories I have listened to you thus far. Great work super funny. Also I picked up bulk of Haunted Bookshop and cubed cut burley and I have got to say that I love it. They are both great. I actually prefer just the cube cut burley.
Cube cut burley is really great when you want a "nothing" type of smoke. Lasts a long time and manages to itch the itch for burley.
lol best story yet keep them coming mate love them all
Thank you Fred!
Commenting again. Miss you John. Hope the family is doing well.
Hi John,
A beautiful story from the old days . Sounds familiar .
I rolled on the floor laughing !
I always look forward to your latest opdate .
Greetings from Belgium
Best Wishes to you in Belgium! Have a great week-end!
Memories of days gone by....... I had my share,as well. Enjoyed the story,John. Have a great weekend. Happy Smokes. Bones(SGB)
We're lucky to have survived it Bones!
Yeah those were the good'e old dayz. Matches was, well,, still is, hip.
LOL, I don't know...I've changed quite a bit since then.
OMGosh, I needed this!! You’re the best!!
LOL, I need it every so often too! Interestingly enough, a picture of the girl who was on the bus with me is featured on a class reunion invitation. I had to chuckle.
Love the story, John! Had me chuckling all through - I think most of us have stories similar to that. Thanks for sharing! ~ Mark, HHH
Yep, we were all delinquents LOL.
I can't believe I never saw this one. Classic in my book. 😂
We could have been twins back in the day, man. I kid you not. I'll have to look for an old High School photo - same hair, too. Just a little later. I grew up in the "grunge" era (early-mid 90's). Torn up jeans, a flannel shirt and a little something extra in the 5th pocket. haha...another great video!
LOL, I'm still a member of bums anonymous!
Wow who is that guy in the picture!! John what a great story... I laughed my ass off... Reminds me of a few days I had... Very similar!!.. Your head fell off...!!! That was great!!! Haaaaaaaa!!!!! Yup so did mine John... So did mine.... See you this weekend my friend take care
Well Brad, it was the only way to get through the school year huh? Hope the weather holds up for you this week-end...it was 73 about an hour ago.
Exactly what I was thinking about school... Oh boy do I miss those days... Unfortunately I think I'm going to miss the weather by one day my friend
Ha! I love it. I was born in '73, but have some similar stories. Dropping microdot in Chapel at a military school my senior year..... then you head out to formal parade after Chapel. Good times...... Cheers from Oregon.
Microdot sounds vaguely familiar. Anyway, good times for sure!
Hahahahahahaha great story hahahaha.
i have been a pothead myself back in the days.
Greetings from Holland,, Kitty.
great story self inflicted wounds.we tend to remember those.thanks.
I should have waited till the next day, but who knows what might have happened then LOL.
yes sir. thanks
Great story took me back in time as well to my pot smoking day's. Cube cut Burley is some good stuff.
These days I'll take the cube cut over the pot!
Same here.
One of the best stories yet . Have a good one.
Thank you B.P.!
Great story John, it took be back to the late 60's and my high school days and some foggy memories. LOL. Thanks for the reminder :-)
Always glad when someone can relate!
Teen of the seventies. I wish I could go back
Ahhh, but we can't go back...just in our warped minds LOL
That was your best story yet !! Those were the days though 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Buz, I pretty much straightened myself out after this episode...well, you know what I mean LOL.
that explains the love shack!!
There was no lovin' that year...jeeze, I was lucky enough to pet a cat!
Matches860 so how many cats did you pet that year LOL
Hi Matches420 ;D
Great story. I laughed a lot.
Have a good one.
Tim
LOL, I don't think we knew about 420 then...can't remember.
'sittin' in class and my head fell off' LOL. Those were the days. Where did the time go?
That is the million dollar question!
this is a good story as always, just wacko "my head fell off and everything sound like a sewer pipe" that is so hilarious. and wrong bus too?! you are an American treasure.
LOL, just an average messed up teen at the time.
Fantastic tale yet again. This came close to being my favorite Matches story but the ( Winter of 73 ) is still the winner, ducks for the win, lol. Thanks for making my Friday :)
Those friggin' ducks LOL.
I look back on "Those" types of things I used to do, while the memories are usually funny, they are also quite embarrassing.😂😂😂😂😂
In my 60's now, nothing's embarrassing anymore LOL
Hahaha...SCREW UM!!!
watching your story while I'm breaking in my new Savinelli - as good as it get's! Happy Weekend from Germany!
Good luck with the Savinelli Nils and thanks for coming by!
When you said your head fell off .. I knew I was hooked on these videos.
Now you know where it all started LOL.
Funniest friggin' video yet!
LOL, Bless you son!
HA HA HA!! THC pills, I've only heard about those one other time in my life. What a great story! Thanks for sharing and for the shout out!!
They might have been nicknamed Purple Haze...can't remember LOL.
You reminded me of another story I had to tell right away. Gave you a shout back!!
Yes what great times those days were!
LOL, I do recall deciding that going to work stoned was not a good idea.

Have a great weekend fella
Life is weird...I'd do much better in school now LOL
Awesome story matches the good old days 👍🏻
For sure! Everybody's too serious these days.
didnt we all smoke pot in high school but I didnt inhale , good story matches .keep on choochin
LOL, I inhaled for sure. Thanks Buddy!
HIPPY!haha. Great story as always! got a kick out of the "casual pot smoker" line. Funny how every one was a few hundred years old back then. Can't wait to hear the college story.
LOL, oh yeah, over 40 and they were as old as dirt.
That was quite a story. Thanks for sharing that. Maybe someday I'll tell probably the only one "high story" in my repertoire... :)
Lots of fun to look back on the teen antics!
My pops had hair just like that in the early 70's.
Well that just wrecked my day LOL.
Haha well if its any consolation I wore it like that in high school too in the late 00's.
John jacknife ready rubbed not the cake
Big thumbs up for this one :).
Excellent! I wasn't quite sure how this one would go over LOL.
1972 I entered the world of what we call reality.
1972 was an odd time for me as this video suggests. Someday I'll tell the story which snapped me out of it.
Good grief, Charlie Brown this has to be the best I've seen in a while. Plus, the comments were as interesting as the video. Some of us boomers probably will live to see it legalized, & some will be growing it in their butterfly gardens.
Stick around, I'll tell another story from college!
"Mental intercourse". That's a new one. What a story. So 70's. I was laughing out loud to the very end.
This video belongs in the Matches860 Hall of Fame.
My college story is pretty epic as well, although pretty short, so I'll have to work it into another story somehow.
Ha! You're a master story teller - great photo, too! Good times, good times.
Many thanks Buddy, the photo always stirs up the memories.
Cube cut burley gets me high Matches.
Me too! It's the old mans drug of choice.
"She was obviously on something too. I don't know what she was doing." - lmao!
Well, there was a lot of stuff floating around school in those days, she could have been tripping for all I knew. Then again, I may have been so messed up that she appeared messed up too LOL
"doesnt know the price of penny candy" ahahahahaha. oh man i love this video! Thanks for posting it
Interesting guy however. He did pretty well for himself having no education. He worked several jobs at a time his whole life and had many a story tell spin.
Matches860 y
WOW great story you shared :) Love listening to these before bed time lol. Where did all the hair go??? :P
When I got out of college, the haircut was the last thing I did trying to get a job.
Another Matches Masterpiece (F'n Hippie!)
He,he...I heard that more than once before!
Great vids you do john.
Could you do a vid on what type of recording cam you like to use.
You vids are very clear and your editing is great.
Thanks from

Ah yes, those were happy times!!! Great story! John-waxerone
I have another "happy time" coming up Friday LOL
Hey Matches , That explains a lot !!!!
Yeah, the stuff stays in your system for life LOL.
The drug that was going around in the 1970s that was referred to as THC was more often than not PCP or other related chemical mixes. If you were lucky you got Marinol which is synthetic THC, but chances are what you got in high school was more likely closer to a meth like substance.
Whatever it was, it turned many a kid into a vegetable for an afternoon LOL. Good times!
I really liked this one John. I had my fun with the stuff in the past and just got tired of it. I guess it kinda lets you know when you've had enough.
Very well said. It stopped being fun for me around 1976.
Nice story cheers Richard
Thanks for watching Richard!
I miss the old times all the people. But i don't miss the drugs. They are not realy your friends.
Well said!
Great story. Had me laughing the whole time
Thanks for watching....officer??? LOL
Matches860 No. it's just a name that worked
Whoa, you friggin' hippy! Unsubbed!! :)
"Fondling each other's brains," what an interesting notion! Always good to see you, man!
LOL, guilty as charged! Thanks for coming by Eddie!
"I'm reading my assignment and my head fell off." 😂😂
Yep, total disconnect!
@@Matches860 I enjoyed this video thoroughly!! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Nice vid Matches. Congrats. I liked it. Thanks.
That's funny. I saw your high school picture and thought you looked like my one buddy from high school. You would have been in my circle of friends. We were "casual pot smokers" too. lol Like every morning. 😊✌️
Alcohol became legal for me the following spring and pot took a back seat.
Yeah, I did the same. Although I never quit smoking pot until my wife and I got together. Five years ago. But when I was able to purchase alcohol, I definitely slowed down on the weed. lol
You sure look like trouble on that picture! Great story, thanks for sharing.
I was pretty mild mannered compared to some others of the day.
This is a great story :)
Thank you David!
Jocks, stoners, everybody else.
The jocks were a sketchy lot as well.
Ahhhhh the Friday savernaly your favourite pipe mine is a church somthing I can't remember it it's a pipe like Gandalf from lord of the rings
You really seem to like your burley's! Can't seem to like em much myself. .
john, im sure you have said what your Friday pipe is, but whats the # of the model?
That is the #673 shape, available in a number of styles.
jesus!!!the hair is almost the same
Oh come on...I keep it trimmed now!
lmfaoo you are too funny John. love hearing your stories. I was the same way in highschool. haha same with my mom and dad. we all grow up tho. always fun looking back on those times. ahh love to cube cut my flake tobacco. enjoy my friend!
It's funny how you go through that stage where reality seems to be the most wicked thing on earth LOL.
"Mental Intercourse" Enlightening lol
Sexual pleasure from afar...I discovered it!
John if you have not tried glpease jacknife ready rubbed do so asap...your welcome:)
I did have that opportunity. As you may know, I gravitate towards loose leaf for convenience.
Lmao! Epic! Here's ta making memories! Cheers John! =]
Hi Leon! I guess we've all been there in one form or another.
Matches860 fosho!
Matches i suspected you had partied in the past rock on my brother
For sure! Nearly drank myself silly too LOL
Ha ha ha. Great stuff.
Heavy baking Mark! LOL
Hi John, thanks for giving me the incentive to upload my own summer of '72 "enhanced" experience! Check it out if you get the time. All the best, Stephen
Saw it and enjoyed every minute Stephen!
those pills sound a lot like the Marijuana infused coconut oil pills I make for my wife. she suffers from a really painful blood clot disorder. if I take a half pill speech and time slow down and I just sit there baked out of my head giggling. I'll stick with the pipe smoking.
LOL, yeah, my drug days were pretty short...I'm a mess sober!
Your voice is reminiscent of George Burns. LOL
I'll add that to the list!
I didn't mean it in any kind of derogatory way. I seem to have an ear for famous voices. For instance, a friend of my wife and her husband visited us from England and as the visit progressed I was intrigued by her husband's voice and accent. Then it suddenly occured to me why his voice sounded familiar. I blurted out, "You sound like Mick Jagger". He laughed and explained to me that he grew up in the same area of England that Mick Jagger came from. LOL.
I know, not to worry. I get "you sound like" and "you look like" a lot, but it's never the same person.
Oh Hell,with those hairs in your youth photo you wouldn't get drafted into military that for sure,
as for smoking bans of our days, are you allowed to smoke inside while you are at daily work?
Have a nice weekend, Paul
I had Vietnam hanging over my head till sometime in that year (1972). They picked the upcoming years draft #'s and my birthday came up #354. The nice lady at the draft board told me I was off the hook as long as we didn't have a world war.
