Hi Ed, doing okay?

Hi Gary, thanks for asking, we're almost back to normal, for me that is. I guess losing a few body parts can keep one on ones toes. Take care, and don't swallow the roach, Ed

Taking prescription drugs including anti-acne and antibiotics is what gave me UC in the first place. Then the prednisone given to me while fighting UC has landed me with AVN in both hips that will require replacement.

And yet pot is bad right...

Yeah, I'm going to smoke some pot to relieve the pain in my hips and relax and the feds and their FDA can blow me.

Like your attitude. I know with Ed and me you are preaching to the choir. But maybe your attitude will convert a few. What harm can it do? Member since 1964. Have a good one.

Hey Ed,
What's one more toke over the line among good friends? As Tiny Tim Cratchit used to say, "God bless us. Everyone".

Yo PB, one toke over the line made for one good song, especially if you were over the line and A Merry Christmas to you, Ed

Hope you had a tight and high night.

Hey Gary, I found that if I put on my brothers weight belt for diving it kept me grounded, Ed

WOUNDED DOE

Well....... I'm still sitting on the fence with the whole pot thing......lol.....but this has been one heck of a fun thread to read, I am trying to catch up in here just a little bit..........
I very, very, very rarely drink alcohol.....but at the moment I have two amaretto 'n Sweets in me, and I must say, if pot feels like this........I might just roll myself a fat one.....LOL!

Life has been much too stressful and I've decided it's time to seriously unwind from stuff........
So.........blow some of that funny smoke in my direction and we'll see what happens to the old Doe, ...........lol

garfish

Come to Aruba and I'll roll you one.

garfish

Give it a chance.

LOL..... It really is an odd thing, how I can be so extremely 'Earthy' and strongly urge people to become more one with the Earth and all its natural healthy healing powers. We truly live in a Garden of Eden of riches that we continually pollute and abuse in so many ways. So, I preach about healthy living and highly recommend the use and value of natural healing herbs and treatments over many of the dangerous chemical man-made toxic and controversial things many doctors prescribe for us. Yet, that illegal aspect is always the biggest thing getting in my way. I am quite strict about such things and well known for that. But it does conflict with my own knowing and discovery of the enormous healing value the herb does indeed have. So, I am strongly for the legalization of it. This I now stand very firm on.
Like anything, there is using and abusing, but legal, I am now firmly convinced, it simply must be made in every state.
If that happens, I will be one of the first to likely put up a greenhouse here on the property, but until then, I sure am a tough cookie to budge, lol.

I am also now convinced that it would be quite helpful for some of my own ailments, and in small usage, would likely greatly improve my quality of life in numerous ways, not as a way to "mask" issues, problems, or situations, but as a medicinal much-needed gift of nature.

If I was in an area where it was legal, I might go ahead and give it a try. In fact, I now believe I would want to give it an experimental trial for a month or so, to analyze what, if any, help it might be for me in my own individual situations.

Cheers!

Making pot "legal" is to permit the state to move in on the drug dealers. Great! Something similar happened a number of years back when the states moved in on local bookies with lotteries and casinos.    But, legalization is only a half measure. What good is legal pot if an ounce for medical use costs between $150 and $300, as in Colorado, and more for recreational use.

The states will never permit private production of pot because, like alcohol and tobacco, pot is a revenue gold mine. Sure, I agree it is necessary to start somewhere, such as legalization; but the long term solution would be to remove all restrictions on the production and distribution of this plant completely.

On a positive note, I have a nice window facing south and someday I hope to replace the coleus with a little cannabis. For the present, it's just a pipe dream.

PB,

I like your subtle reference to "Pipe" Dream. Is it Freudian or Shakespearean I wonder.

primeboy,
Need some seed. Got an extra pipe also.

Xerxes and Garfish,

Both and both.

Thanks.

I am a product of the 60's... a wee bit of wake and bake helps me in the oddest way... it actually gives me energy, helps my mood, and does in fact help me with GI issues. And oh yeah... it curbs my appetite.

garfish

Hey Moonshine,

Yes, I agree with everything you said except the appetite. Quite the opposite effect on me. Pot really helped with everything associated with my 'new little friend' but especially with a fairly painful adhesion. Fortunately, I live where it's 'legal' and I do have a prescription for medical weed. Google 'Dutch Seeds' and see what pops up. Free seeds. But I'm sure you could find them or weed closer to home. Good luck.

Hey Garfish, it's "itchy 22" returning as "itchy 23", a full member now. I can't believe over 16,000 views and over 100 replies. Yours was the last reply listed. It's great to be back.

garfish

Welcome back. How ya doin'

moonshine

Love it and use it......however - weed wakes me up and curbs my appetite.

But it sure does help with the attitude.
