Sold a guitar case + some kratom to an "elder" today

So I put an ad up on Craigslist earlier for a guitar case I have. Got a call pretty quickly from this older fellow, sent more pics than arranged to have him come check it out.
Anyways he comes over, we start chatting as he checks the case out. I show him another nicer case I have that I also could part with which he ended up snagging for 50$ becouse I am nice. He wanted 40$ but it is a 120-30$ case and 50 was as low as I would go.
So we start talking about music more and he starts telling me about how he opened for the dead in the 60's or 70's winterland shows and toured with em and stuff.
Asked me if I knew Owsley It was honestly kind of freaky how much we had in common for the 50~ year age gap 
At one point I brought up kratom and he started talking about anxiety issues he has and how he takes Xanax but hates it, so I offered to give him so kratom to try.
After explaining it to him for awhile he was very interested and wanted to buy some off me. So I gave him 20-30 caps of kratom for 5$ telling him to start with 3 (a bit over a gram) I gave him some of my white,red, and green vein so he could find what works best for him. Also told him a good place he could buy some online relatively cheap.
We talked a bit about quantum physics and sychronicities, like us meeting so randomly. Probably talked for at least an hour, seemed like a cool dude. Said he was down to play some music sometime even, I love classic rock and he has played with a lot of classic musicians, I forget the name of the band he was in that opened for the dead apparently.
Anyways I just wanted to share, I thought that was pretty cool. I hope the kratom works wonders for him and he ca get off the damn xanax.
He already quit smoking tobacco and drinking so then he would be set.
He also talked about going and eating peyote in the desert while touring the south with a lot of old famous musicians.
You ever meet some cool older folks and connect about some stuff? It was super random but cool, I may take him up on the jamming offer

The band was in is called "Stoneground" and I think he said he was in the movie "Medicine Ball Caravan" too, about to look em up.
Also he just said he thinks he is feeling the kratom and he wants to find out which kinds he should order as there are so many choices

Pretty cool band:
Though from what I can tell he was not a member for too long, all their guitarists seem pretty rad though.

Yeah older generations have a lot to teach us. It's great getting stoned and hearing stories from old heads. From skiing down the mountains in the morning on IN chocolate mescaline, to climbing the cliffs at Res Rocks dosed on 6 hits of orange sunshine to hear The Doors live set. You never know which guys will have an interesting story or 2.

I guess I just don't get out and interact enough, though I imagine this guy doesn't either.
Though he wanted the case for playing shows I think.
Old people do love drugs I guess, and I am very happy to help him get off Xanax.
They do have a lot to teach us indeed, and vice versa. At the end of our talk he said how impressed he was that I knew as much as I did for my age. He also thought I was like 6 years older than I am I have met some old heads while on the mountain actually! Got to hear a story about one almost dying whilst boarding/ skiing.
This guy had a lot more than 2 interesting stories, I wish I could remember all the musicians he said he has met/ played music with! It was a crazy list.

Well I most likely will. I just don't know how to go about it.
I feel a bit weird hanging out with a guy over 3x my age and his family would probably think the same I was half expecting to hear from his family already to complain about me giving an old man kratom or something.
He seems like a friendly cool old dude though so I am sure I will work something out.
Definitely going to check that movie out too, I dug that band a lot.
Great alternative title
