“You would not grind the seeds and smoke them would you?”
I don’t smoke any ground up seeds now. Not seeing the relevance to the discussion.
Since it’s used to make medicine it’s easy to see why our Heavenly Father put it on this earth.
Oh yes the overpass, it’s finished. The traffic circle is where the new hospital is and the bridge is useful if leaving the hospital and turning out of the traffic circle too early by mistake and getting stuck on the frontage road when you needed hwy 160. I hate traffic circles lol.
That Katella homeless camp includes plenty of the “non-violent” criminals that Jerry Brown has let out of prison.
“Also, who is paying the bill for this conference, if you know, please?”
About 15,000 psychiatrists from around the world. It’s the 2017 annual American Psychiatric Association convention in San Diego.
So this is the same group that decided homosexuality isn’t a disorder. Gotcha.
With apologies to W.P. Kinsella and Phil Alden Robinson:
“If you smoke it, he will come”
“That Katella homeless camp includes plenty of the “non-violent” criminals that Jerry Brown has let out of prison”
Yes, these people are often referred to as “Jerry’s Kids”
I am not knocking the place. It's just an observation. People leave their homes, looking (often) to escape their problems--they move to an idyllic sort of place only to find the problems follow and now they are stuck in this place that was supposed to be a paradise with no $$. Florida is similar.
I love it up there and when we first bought our place, like 15 years ago, we thought about permanently living there--we looked around and said, "Yeah, but what are we going to do to ensure we maintain a certain standard of living"
I watched my neighbor who sold everything and bought a giant piece of land there, doing the Jack of All Trades thing and said, "Yeah, no".
I understand your point of view and agree 100%.
You made a wise decision and it allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds, so to speak.
I have a cousin in Farmington. She and her husband, a Doctor, have a nice place near Vallecito and they have basically the same attitude.
“So this is the same group that decided homosexuality isn’t a disorder. Gotcha.”
With 35,000 members, the APA is a very diverse organization. Just like our country that has a few loud mouth liberal activists who pushed through an agenda I do not agree with, I don’t leave the country nor do I leave the organization which also has great opportunities for learning.
There is much good and also much not so good. It’s up to us to sort it out.
Thanks for posting your story... at 52 years old I have seen this exact scenario play out numerous times. While the drunks i have know in the same time frame have almost totally isolated themselves and are awaiting death by liver failure.
One co-worker from years ago said he started smoking it at 15 years old, in 1960... he just turned 72, still smokes like a chimney and only day he ever spent in the hospital was for ‘roid removal surgery.
Had another friend that ended many friendships 15 or 20 years ago because he found out somebody smoked pot. 5 or 6 years ago when he was ready to be fired because of what prescribed opiates and “pain management” had turned him into, his Dr suggested he try cannabis. He was one of the first medical cards issued in arizona... he is off opiates and now running the crew he was almost fired from. He comes home from work and eats a couple cookies and chills out for the night instead of supporting big pharma and living like a zombie.
Harmless like scotch huh? I say ban the man made poison alcohol is again or legalize a natural plant... either works for me...

Many years ago I worked as a counselor in a private profit mental health hospital. All of the psychiatrists were good people 1st & excellent psychiatrists. This facility operated under a therapeutic milieu so everyone was involved & participated in staff meetings equally.
None of those Dr’s had anything good to say about the APA. All of them complained that politics mattered more than real research. Granted it’s anecdotal, but it’s why I don’t give the APA much consideration these days.
Add to that the terrible experiences I had with 1 psychiatrist as a patient who prescribed medicines that never worked. Another pulled me off prozac cold turkey, swore it wouldn’t be a problem despite me explaining what a horrible experience I had doing this years earlier.
Cannabis works for me. Psychiatry never did.
Yes I knew it. I live in Wyoming. Just thought it was funny.
Thank you for sharing. I am not against the use of canabis or other herbs for help with medical conditions. However we need to move ahead carefully.
>>She tells me she’s noticed no change at all since full legalization occurred.
LOL.
Of course it hasn’t changed.
That would be why Conservative Coloradans have been calling the city she lives in the People’s Republic of Boulder for as long I can remember.
I started driving there to climb when I learned to drive 40 years ago.
And yeah - other than the environmental Bullshyte that “protects” the rocks from climbers now — it hasn’t changed AT ALL!
The whole county was infested with Liberal, Dope Smoking, Hipster arseholes in 1976 - and it STILL IS!
