Hellooooo,
Hi and no high for lack of bud so here's my lot in life....
Please try and overlook my sooo last week lingo ok?
I called the MMJ whatever office last week and tho they're nice enuff folks...the answers were depressing.
I'm a 56 year old Vet with ''bionic'' eyeballs now due to extensive surgery pulling eyes from their sockets, stitching badly torn retinas and long recovery times and now just had the left lens replaced.
So the good news is I still have my eye sight and even better than ever before.
Yesterday was another post op check-up and well...go in next week due to unexpected inflammation.
So drops every few hours and shit 'til next week.
In time will get contacts or glasses to see 20/20 hopefully.
Have had glaucoma for atleast 25 something years and will always have this.
Back in 1983 I had emergency laser for waaay high eye pressure (52+) and after the work, smoked on occasion thru the weeks and never had pressure above normal (12 to 19ish)
The doc back then never saw such ideal pressure in his 30 something years.
My sister has it too but she does drops and inserts and almost yearly laser for her eye pressure in glaucoma.
The only diff was I smoked some weed and when I told the doc he scoffed me off.
Things have changed yes!
But still, the stigma against MMJ among the doctors is ever present.
The docs state bad idea and drops are alot better and stupid to smoke when meds do better yadda yadda.
I was on Ty3 for several years for joint pain and a few years ago just went cold turkey and stopped taking pain meds.
Got too frustrating on meds that up and down each day and becoming a cycle to get ''up'' then at night take generic Valium to get ''down'' to sleep.
I never was a med freak really and I used to be able to manage pain with mental games.
A couple a years ago my Texas lady friend moved in with me here in Albuquerque so she could go to the Alamogordo school for the blind, get on SS disability and such.
She smoked sometimes and her life long friend had some always so we smoked.
In this time my regular eye check-ups were always the ideal 12 in pressure.
That was then and now here I am.
My new, year old, 20s something neighbors smoke some and I got some dirt weed with a kazillion seeds and crap but hey...it smoked and after many hits got a mild buzz.
Been awfully iffy on and off but I smoked to keep my eye pressure ideal and until recent when I've not had any smoke for weeks and weeks here and there...my eye pressure went up quite a bit.
Basically, my neighbors are cool enuff and all but don't follow thru on what they say.
Getting some bud soon and weeks later still none and if they do it's always little if any for me once his boss gets his and their couple of other close friends gets theirs.
And my neighbors once again spaced me out and didn't follow thru, which has become the norm with them and I've just flat out had it with them thinking any dirt weed or even low-mid will be had.
They ask for favors and I jump in to abide in any way I can.
They leave town for days or longer and they know I will care for their pets well and never fail them.
Their best friend however never does and she gets first dubs on smoke and I am left out...again.
No matter really...just filling in my situation some.
Thank you.
Whining here I guess but it really irks me this generation of theirs seems to be alot of talk and little walk.
I even paid them more than enuff to pay for my token amount and even theirs just as a thanks and for the time and hassle of getting any weed.
I'm not rich and on a fixed income but no matter...I always show appreciation when I can.
They go to UNM so it's not like they can't know the stoners that are so abundant.
Guess I'm an old fart with old fashion ways.
I do what I say I will do and do so as soon as I possibly can.
I never leave anyone hanging and atleast keep them up to date if I can't follow thru as easy or fast.
I was soooo encouraged when fat Bill made into law the MMJ use.
And when he insisted the bud was to be made available I was ecstatic!
The VA is Federal and will not go along....kinda understand this, for now anyway.
But when I called UNMH I just knew they would due to the indignant and street druggies and what all.
Nope.
The lady said they won't script for medical mj but I can ask around and eventually find a doctor who would.
When I asked about Med MJ to be available says Bill?
She laffed at me and sarcastically suggested I find me a drug dealer to buy my weed from.
And she was serious.
So here I am and last week was encouraged and wonderfully motivated to get MMJ papers going and get a ''card'' for my use.
I ask around and no one has any or they just don't want to.
Talked to a guy at the desk when I was at the hospital and he said atleast half the staff smoked and he knew several who always seem to have great smoke.
Soooooo.
I asked like the beggar I have now become and he finally took my phone number and left it at that.
I briefly told him I understood the problem of staff selling to any patient but that I was cool and what takes place is never mentioned and I'd meet any time and place just to get hooked up.
I get the feeling I shouldn't be waiting by the phone.:(
I even went across the street when I saw a neighbor I've waved at a couple a times in the last year.
A chit chat and asked and he was like sooo cool about it and would take a drive and see what was going around and be back in the evening for me.
Well...past noon and not a peep.
WHY go thru the 10s of 12s of phone calls to even try and get a doctor to help with the MMJ card bit when I can't get hooked up???
Back in the 70s it was so easy to score and now it seems near impossible.
I was young then and older now but WTH??
When I was younger it was pretty cool to smoke with an old fart and they usually were grateful enuff to pitch in more than their share when we scored for them.
Do I hafta cut my ponytail off and get a buzz cut or what???
I am thinking maybe if I went to the UNM area and stood in front of the Frontier with a cardboard sign saying....will pay for good bud!
Even let my ponytail down and look like a throw back hippie might help.....
Grow is in but not until I get thru the steep learning curve and get seeds and all.
Meanwhile......feeling like an out dated idiot here.
Sincerely would appreciate any kind advice and for real making any local friends.
Thanks!
