HBS

Heavy Burner's Society
Milpitas
1980's

A self-professed, "Bullshit Club," evidenced by annual elections for club president (nickels counted as one vote "for" pennies one vote "against"). Votes were counted New Year's eve for that year, not the following year, and weren't done being counted until after midnight, so the elected official was never really President, but got bragging rights for the previous year. The money helped pay for booze at the party.

Cards with a custom rubber stamp containing secret ID symbol's were printed for members to gain entry to parties (passed through the door jamb).

Each member had a nickname and "the Prez" had to approve these, but even though membership was rather exclusive, everyone who smoked dope in Milpitas in the early to mid-80's either scored from one of the members or knew of the HBS.

Matt "The Prez,"
Friday at 5 at Brian's,
Rocky, the asshole who would inevitably yell and kick everyone out.

You could describe us as white punks on dope, but this it is the only abreviation of HBS that can stand.

There was always a cloud of KGB coming out of the HBS headquarters every Friday at 5 for KFOG's Weekend Salute.

antiquated, admonishment to hide marijuana from public view (as a lit joint).

The teen passenger was taking a hit off a joint as they drove through an intersection. The driver yelled at him, "Hold Down!"

Heavy Burner's Society

Heavy Burner's Society
Milpitas
1980's

Descriptive of any group or club of friends, loose-knit or organized, who enjoy, or used to enjoy, smoking pot.

Euphemism used to elevate the description of a white punk on dope as someone who is a member of an elite corps or club.

HBS Club in Milpitas during the 1980's, who's sole purpose was to get together and smoke joints (no regular use of hard drugs or booze though some friends of members had those problems).

Brian was an officer in the Heavy Burner's Society from way back.

He must've been in the Heavy Burner's Society, he looks like he smoked so much the 80's his eye's are still red.
