Official Cannabis warning

[tlg1100]

In the 1970s, I smoked pot every day of high school and college. It was cool then. (Also not hallucinogenic. We had acid for that.)

Now that it's legal, what's the point? The goshdarned gubmint took all the fun out of it!

Chong has a funny bit about it not being as fun anymore , not exactly his quote but something like it, he said half the fun was sneaking around ,searching for it and dodging the man ! Lol

In the 70's, the high school officials got tired of cigarettes butts everywhere, so they designated a place where the kids could smoke their cigarettes, the kids called it 'grit alley"

Had no problems buying cigarettes if you looked over 12, if younger looking you had to have a note.

Few years ago, my local area must have had some new rules and regulations about showing I.D.., I was in line at convenient store/ gas station guy in front of me gets carded , guy behind me shouts out

" what a time we live in when you're gray haired and balding and get carded and you can go to the store to buy pot "

Couldn’t agree more.

A while back, I was (legally) getting 240 Percocets a month, year after year after year. Said my name, no ID, no money.

But if I want some decongestant, I've got to show my driver's license. Not just show it, they write down it's #, etc. And if it's expired, no decongestant!

I still have to show ID to buy beer. And I'm closing in on 70. When I was in college, the legal age for alcohol was 18, but nobody checked. And every year at 'Spring In,' the local breweries gave it out for free!

I was lucky I guess....my dad dropped out of school with only a grade 7 education had a rough childhood. When he was 11-12 he had to work picking tobacco and would tell me he would cry himself to sleep because his back hurt so bad. Then his pay cheque went straight to his dad.
His dad was abusive to him and his siblings and regularly beat on my Grandmother.
My dad broke that cycle of violence and never even spanked me while growing up. I later learned to be quite proud of him for that.
He was a very liberal thinker in a lot of ways. I sure miss him.

Yes, and so was I. My Dad was kind and loving. I know many that didn't have that, and I am grateful for my luck.

I do have to wonder who posted a laughing emoji on your post...

Laws here are changing to make it mandatory to show risk of cannabis-induced paranoia and schizophrenia.

A neurotoxin warning on alcohol worlds most abused psychoactive substance would be good.

Maybe it was just someone liking that you were sharing that personal experience?
