Re: Protestors March for Marijuana Legalization

Okay, I've been smoking off and on since 1975, yup, I'm that old but look damn good...eh eh, I made one year, $99.000.00 2006 year I made a sissy $41.000.00 and last year it doubled to $81.000.00 I get a stimulus of $337.00 so now where in 33 years did I go wrong smoking pot????
I guess I could have made a million had I not smoked weed...darn it!

I guess they are talking about normal peoples ability to learn and remember. I on the other hand have ADHD and I'm bi-polar which without the use of MJ I would not have made it this far in life. As it stands I have successfully completed a 4 year term at The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park New York and am a certified Chef now retired but had it not been for the MJ I would not have had the patience or interest to follow through with it. So while they may lay blame on MJ for making some folk seem stupid I feel it has been the one thing that made it possible for me to succeed by actually slowing down the racing thoughts that get all jumbled in my head when I'm not High, I also have degenerative bone disease which is a form of arthritis that litteraly desolves the bones in the body starting with the joints, and no meds have helped with the pain of this disease, MJ makes it possible for me to sleep at night and function normally the next day to which my Wife can attest that on the days or nights I didn't have my MJ she got less sleep than me as she would freak out when I would have a pain spell in my sleep and would, so she says toss and turn, cringe and scream in my sleep. and also she says if she touched me in my sleep the pain would show in my face. All I can say is Thank God for MJ in any form.
