Recollections......

Well my post on illegal drugs prompted quite a wee debate on ClipMark - GOOD - all debate is good, look at Northern Ireland - and some said it could never be done HA

[It is dangerous to be right when those in power are wrong - Voltaire}

I have been thinking bout it all while enjoying the morning sun, at 18 I was prescribed anti-depressants, at 19 I discovered weed, much better and less likely to walk under a bus and I liked being able to go into my mind, I was always happiest there [something to do with being an only child of parents who would have preferred not to be I think]. Anti depressants made me unfeeling a walking zombie, weed made me more *aware* or so it seemed to me and so my choice was made but it is only in my latter years that it is a *habit*. Yeah I had bronchitis in my life lasted 14 years and then left, it was at a time when weed wasn't prevalent in my life, so I put it down to my ability to breathe in life properly, it started when I was 21 and ended in my 34th year a year when much became clear to me AND I met my soul mate!!!! I also stopped smoking regular cigarettes and went on to natural tobacco.
I have raised 2 law abiding children, one academic, who has just worked her way thru uni and achieved a BAsc, tother not but has worked on the land since leaving school; one occasionally has a smoke tother never, both have the odd maddy, and why not, we all have to live n learn in our own ways. They are both open with me [sometimes too much LOL blushing Mama]
Been harassed and hounded by police because I wouldn't submit to stupid man-made laws in a county where the land is owned by Lairds and Lords who made their money and gained their land through the Opium trade.
One of the comments on Clipmark stated if it becomes legal then the tobacco companies etc will get a hold of it - so - pharmaceutical companies have ruined all plant based healing, grow you own or buy from a *reputable dealer* they are around, be it for organic herbs of the legal or *illegal* kind; we can make our wine so we will be able to grow our own weed, people will have as always choices to make, that's the whole point, life is all about choices - our choices determine our future [individually and collectively] and of course we all make *wrong* choices but the universe always gives us another chance to make another choice, change our minds - life is experimental experiences.....so go enjoy....peace love n light be your companions
