So I have been doing lots of thinking lately. I want to go public with my pot use, become an advocate and help people. I am wondering if I should do it now (live in FL with bad marijuana laws), or wait until I move to california.
My biggest fear is it somehow disrupting my job. People thinking of me different. I could care less about what anyone else thinks...
Since my job is my bread and butter, I am very hesitant.
Another thing. Although I have no fears of my family finding out, my whole family is anti-pot. They know that I used to do it when I was a kid, but they thought I become a straight arrow. The whole time they thought I was a "good kid", I was smoking pot. Which is probably what I would use as an example when I explain it to them. I don't talk to them much, because my views are so different, but I would like to break it to them instead of them seeing my face on the frontpage of the newspaper in 5 years with the headline "Ishmar Rodriguez (not my read name single handedly defeats goverment and legalizes pot" or something like that
Also, I love my brother dearly. He is the only one who still lives near me. However, his wife is VERY anti-pot. She also has him on a leash. I'm afraid if I tell him he will tell his wife, then she will ban him from ever seeing me or ban me from seeing my nephew. That's going to be a tough one to break...
Anyhow, sorry for bother you all with my personal life. I just felt like posting stuff that was going through my mind. Sorry for the bad typing. Normally I spellcheck and stuff, but I am so high
