Alabama Slammer

Marijuana, usually OG Kush or other indica-dominant strain, laced with cocaine. Reported to produce simultaneous effects of heavy sedation and increased sensory sensitivity associated with stimulation of the central nervous system. Origins widely believed to trace back to a foiled drug smuggling operation run rumored to be an associate of the Barry Seal syndicate in June of 1978. Estimates as high as 600 pounds of cocaine and marijuana were jettisoned from a small commuter jet pursued by Federal intercept, approximately 17 miles northeast of Montgomery, near the hamlet of Emerald Mountain. Reports began surfacing later that year of a debilitating strain of Cannabis with the street moniker 'Slammer, it's near mythical status canonized later that year with the Sep 29th performance of Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band at Birmingham's Boutwell Auditorium dubbed 'The Alabama Slammer', a hat nod to the widespread local use and adoration at the time. Acclaim and notoriety continued to follow and build for the purported strain, culminating in the 2008 near simultaneous publishing of a song with the same name appearing on the Casey Donahue Band's Live Album 'Live-raw-real, In The Ville' and the admission by President George W. Bush in the documentary 'Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay' that Alabama Slammer was his favorite strain of Cannabis.

George W. Bush: "This some good shit, ain't it?"
Harold Lee (nodding): "Yeah!"
Kumar Patel: "What is it?"
George W. Bush: "It's called Alabama Slammer. I laced it with blow so it knocks you down and keeps you going at the same time makes hand gesture implying a collision from the rear BOOWAH!"
