That's a good thing? Great, High School, one pin joint of dirt weed, wood shop, guy on table saw. No fingers. Good job Aquila!

Bring engine cases to a machine shop, drop of the cases to be bored for large bore cylinders. Joker doing the job for me smokes a roach out of the ash tray in the truck. Come to pick up my STD cases, can't get them. Stoned loser didn't tighten them down in the boring bar and sent them across the shop. Good job Chris, cannabis saves lives.

Teenage girl smokes seedy, stems, shake bag. First time ever smoked. Got super paranoid, and freaked out, causing her to run right into a sliding glass door full tilt. While these events don't happen to everyone who smokes they do happen. Ever heard of someone being a BURN OUT? Cheech and Chong made money from their characters being burned. Tommy Chong's character was a toasty hippy, While Cheech Marin was the straight man of the team he was just as burnt. But you say the medical refer will be low level dirt weed? Oh, by the way Mr Expert, dirt weed is more popular with the stoners than premo weed.

Get the Holy Ghost Chris!

Did you find a church yet? Didn't you say that you went to an Apostolic church recently and your PTSD acted up?

All that from low level shake? What!!!!!

And so, you now know your threshold... four days. So you smoke a little cannabis every four days before bed... for six months... and during that period... everyone who knows you wants to know what happened because now your actually talking to them and interacting normally. Your kids say, "Mom and dad don't fight like they used to.", "I'm not afraid of dad anymore.", "Dad doesn't scream and break things like before.", and your performance at work increases. Your love life returns to normal... it's like you get your entire life back.
Well, well, well, all that use to be said about people converting to Christ. Now I can had out loose dubes at Bible study. No, premo weed, just dirt weed and people will move forward to a brighter day? Sounds like the testimony of people getting the Holy Ghost. Now, you need to answer this, you sound like you have first hand PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE? So, Mr Wacky Tabacky, when was the last time you smoked unto Jah?

Which part, the standing on the ledge in FEAR while on the couch? Or smoking the ganja? Rastafari Haile Selassie "I"
