Michigan Monkey Paw?

I am in Michigan, and I came across Monkey Paw around 40 years ago. I was looking for some bud, and a friend told me to call the local Domino’s pizza and ask for a certain pizza driver, and I did and he said he would be by my house some time during the evening, when he had a delivery in the area. I waited for several hours, and decided he wasn’t going to show up so I dropped a couple of hits of acid, I think some microdot. I was getting off nicely on the acid when the door rang, and it was my pizza driver, so I bought a bag of monkey paw off of him, and I smoked it, and I swear I got higher off of the monkey paw than I did the acid, which is saying a lot. I smoked it later after I came down, and the effects were still amazing. I ordered a few more bags but then the supply dried up. I had heard through the rumor mill back then that it was a clone only plant, and that it was being grown by a vietnam vet, and some kids broke in to his house and stole either the mother or a cutting and that is what we came to know as monkey paw, and I always assumed that is why it disappeared as quickly as it arrived, because anyone who would break in to a grow room etc, probably doesn’t have it together enough to keep that strain going for long. Because of that I have always been dubious of claims of monkey paw, but I have heard of it being around here and there, and have smoked what some claim to be monkey paw, but it never had that same intense high like the original that I got from the pizza driver.
