The political climate in California has provided a legal and safe market for business in the medicinal trade (I know big pharmaceutical companies don't feel that). For me I look at this as an escape from the world in which I live. I am an aberrant (learned that from brother Aberration) looking to legitimize my chosen profession. Although I have a lot to learn this has been a dream since a teen and now I'm living it. This isn't quite how I pictured it (thought I'd be outdoors). I never anticipated the loneliness. Never factored that into my ambitions. This is truly not an occupation for everyone. A lot of sacrifice involved. Only one person has seen anything 1st hand, because they were there from jump. I'd like to let some of my people know so that if anything should happen, they can try to salvage my work for ($ for) funeral arrangements or god forbid legal fees, but I find it hard to trust people. People talk too damn much. One of the only people I'd have trusted to work with w/o much thinking died on me. Hard to make new friends (same and opposite sex), afraid to leave for more than a day (sometimes less), SECURITY IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE. The friends part is hard because if its not cannabis related, most other things don't hold/catch my attention very long. So I don't have much to talk about, kinda isolated type of lifestyle. Pay's ok, but I kinda miss having a life too. I just wanted to get this off my chest because I don't really have any1 to talk to plus I'm not the friendliest, most personable dude either. Hell if it wasn't for prop 215, I don't know where I'd be right now. Probably working some job I hate out of boredom or worse. I;m debt free, working on complete independence , and providing jobs in my region. This leaves me with much to be thankful for. I guess its all a part of the universal balance, dunno. If any1 can feel this let me know.

I can feel it, BWC. My bubble-girl existence seems to echo in your words about solitary living. Alone isn't so bad, but lonely isn't any fun. I'm lucky to have a caretaker, but he isn't here 24/7, and though I'd love to get out and about right now, I can't leave for fear of burglary if I don't have someone sitting the house. My place just doesn't lock up, and even if it did, if anyone wanted in, it'd be a cake walk to break into.
Dancing. At least you went. I haven't seen a dance floor for over 20 years. Not that I miss it much. But I do miss comraderie and social contact--that's something lacking living out in the sticks. One would think city life would be more social, but I see that's not necessarily true....Posted 11-12-2009 at 06:09 PM by Irish

City life is what u make it. Some folks live isolated live in the city. Personally I don't enjoy the loneliness but, its part of the job. Security is definintely a major concern. Y not get a safe or a safe keeping place to store the meds not to be used immediately. If they were stored somewhere else that would definitely be a reason to get out. Its good to know I'm not the only one that feels this way.Posted 11-16-2009 at 07:51 AM by BWC BayArea

A safe...nice idea, but for me, one safe wouldn't be big enough--I'd need three. And right now, somewhere else is not an option as I'm managing the curing process and have to "smell" each and every container sometimes several times a day to get what I want in each batch and to avoid nasties like bud rot, mold, and over-drying. It takes a constant, solitary vigilance, but it's all good. Another month and they'll be storable/movable, and then I'll be ready for a vacation!Quote:Originally Posted by BWC BayArea
