interesting thread. I never would have thought of it. I am a grandparent and recently spent time with my 13 year old grand daughter. Sweetest example of sweet innocence you could imagine. She has no idea of the tests and challenges this insane asylum called earth has in store for her. I thought, "What can I do to prepare/protect her?" I tried to give her advice/advance warning. We covered 3 areas: I advised her to be very careful who she choose to marry (if at all). I said that this is a good place to make a bad mistake. Moving along to debt, I advised a debt free life. Finally, be very careful who you associate with. My friends cover a very wide spectrum: from ex cons to Baptist preachers. The common thread is …. a good heart.
Marijuana? I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole. Let her parents tackle that one. There is entirely too much hysterical nonsense surrounding the subject. I have known hundreds of pot heads and never heard of any of them beating their wives (or husbands), tossing babies out of 5th floor windows of crashing cars into store fronts. I think that type of behavior is more dependent on who you hang with than what they smoke or don't smoke.
I sit under the stars every evening with one beer, a bowel of weed and a Parodi. I watch the stars and have recently taken to photographing what I see. ^ I don't think you will be reading about me in the media. I have smoked for half a century and dashed, run and jogged enough to circle the globe 2 1/2 times at the equator and worked for decades to reach a comfortable retirement.
The pharmacy industry took note in the1930's of the medical effects of marijuana of which we are only now learning …. calming, pain reduction, sleep enhancement and more. They don't like competition and, accordingly, launched into a campaign to fix in the public mind that marijuana was a killer drug from hell. The U.S. government to this day has marijuana in the same category as heroin.
