I think they are supposed to get “High” before they jump, not after.

These guys are fortunate that the growers did kill them. There are such pot gardens within walking distance of the Hoopa Indian tribal compound. The pot farmers walk around with rifles and assault rifles.

He’s a rich dude though. He doesn’t have to jump out of a perfectly good airplane to get into an acre of pot.

I lived in Salem for a while. I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that it was one of the saner parts.
Exams are next week. Looking forward to the summer break, I’ll tell you that for free.
