You are so on the money Torog. Man,......This is where balance comes in. A very good filter to screen most anything thru, is to consider how we would feel about our kids doing similarly. Observing families where the parents openly displayed, questionable activities, would unnerve me. I now realize that it is better to not hide from the family. Teaching our own kids to be hidden, is usually worse. To teach them to live an open life, honest with themselves, honest with others, Is a much healthier life than those taught hiddeness. There is something so validating, and energized, to.........be able to be who we are. To bless our kids to enjoy the freedom to live un-shamed.Quote:

Then there's legality issues........ still, Man, If it involves illegalities,...Its more than I can comfortably pass down.
I'll tell ya, A friend gave me a joint 3 weeks ago, at least three weeks now!!!
I haven't been able to touch it, because of these problems. He asked me what I thought of it,........I ...I just don't have the freedom right now........I have to laugh,.... He went to my car, broke it in half, smoked his half,......and now I have half a joint... aaaaawww...The psychology of child rearing, scruples, and politics......
See, I just......... lay it out, This is me baby
I've been off a while, there's been alot going on. I got on to see where shelbay is. It's good to see you torog, and shelbay both.
I hope your enjoying the gulf, Shelbay.
once when i was at the psychologist she asked if there was any drugs use in my family, and my dad said 'name a drug and we've tried it at least once(insert unique laugh here)... so
I'm guessing yes:rasta: :dance:

She fully supports my useage for medical reasons and is actually angry at the 'system',for the prohibition against marijuana and the way that I was treated by the 'justice' system,for daring to choose marijuana,instead of choosing deadly,dangerous,addicting ,prescription narcotics to treat my chronic pain and spasticity.
I hope that things git better for ya:thumbsup: Seems to me,that you've paid yer 'dues',and that the least you should be able to do,is to come home and choose a safe alternative to alcohol,in order to wind down after work and ease yer aches and pains.
Have a good one ! :)
I experienced the same, buddy. I understand exactly where you are, well close. I could only work every other day for a while. If I had an active day, I paid for it the next. For me ~ Mj gave immediate relief. Un freakin believable....immediate relief. If I was to experience it again, I wouldn't hesitate.Quote:

It makes me feel uncomfortable, but I understand that it is more of the medicinal variety. I'll have to go back to that bipolar thread. Some 'o' boys dad was off the edge. I can find it, I think the contributors advise considered the manic issue. This manic thing hit me a few years after the chronic pain did. I would have loved the relief of Med. MJ years prior to finding out. WW. Is definitely too exciting for me. I would have to tone down the variety aaa........ some.
Getting back to our families, I would never trade the ability to talk freely in the home.......with anything. What a gift we can give our kids to be open. It opens up a Safe environment, for them to enjoy also, to all be who we are. I feel sorry for families that don't enjoy this....... shallow, shallow relationships.
As the resident Jesus Freak, well.......This is what true Christianity is all about. Jesus fought the hidden ones. Hypocrite. was a term to identify actors of their day, wearers of the mask (to change to a different character). Wearing a mask.....not their true selves. Jesus used this term to describe them (The deceptive ones). We all assumed he was referring to those of us on the outside, thru the N.T..........Not True.
The religious hypocrisy, that is clearly seen today?......isn't God. ....The religious hypocrite....to read the post above???.......Come on, we know the deal. Circuits would short, Wires would burn it would require a major overhaul. The Lord exposes it because of his love. But, the individual must come out from hiding............. (The Hypocrites NEED to be OK) - must die.....they can't talk honestly with their kids,......... denying them a safe environment to be honest, real, ...and Free (the will of God).
When honesty and a desire for reality and truth arrive, the Lord receives quickly, He sees them, me, any of us,......He recognizes it from a farrr distance (the prodigal son). He is still much more awesome, than any of us can conceive. But.......we ........place Him among, those,..the hypocrites and any of us who deny who we really are.
The Church does not have the corner on hypocracy.
The following is taken from Wycliffe Bible Dictionary.
HYPOCRISY, HYPOCRITE. In the context of Greek Drama the term hypocrite was applied to an actor on the theater stage. Since an actor pretends to be someone other than himself, hypocrites was applied metaphorically to a person who ??acts a part? in real life, pretending to be better than he actually is, one who simulates goodness. In secular Gr. Literature, therefore, hypocrites may be either neutral or undesirable. In the NT, however, it is always undesirable, signifying one who works a deception by feigned piety.
I know ...a little sermon. I appreciate your time.
No offering will be taken today.
Thanks for your post, Turog.
These kind of post...... pull on me a bit..
... You, onward, We gotta hook up... My time on the boards has been limited. When things slow down, I can do both.

I smoke daily, my sister probably about 3 times a week. My parents are retired, and my little brother will be let in on the secret in a year or so.
Howdy braddog,
Yup..I would like to know about which strains are best for bi-polar folks,as I have a bi-polar friend,who's at the mercy of prescription meds,that seem to work only part of the time.
There is alot of hypocracy going around and I'm sometimes hypocritical myself,despite my best efforts..dang it ! However,I also realize,that I'm just an imperfect human and prone to making mistakes,I try to hold myself to a higher standard,and learn from my mistakes.
I would like to git together with you and onward,as well as many other Texas members:) I'm sure that we would have a great time !
Have a good one ! :)
The only person in my immediate family that doesn't smoke weed is my mother... I think she's nuts..
