I havent met hardly anyone who even tokes. Youre a very smart person and that gives me hope here. lol


:hippy:
Drinking and driving are a form of self expression here in New Mexico. When we are drunk, we all speak the same language.

It is a sad truth. It is our heritage. There are good things about this place too.

There are many smokers here. Being a Marijuano is not a great thing to be with the Mexican and traditional Latino folks. It is accepted here completely though if it is understated. So folks dont advertise smoking (and a lot of other stuff) but it goes on everywhere.

And I am sorry you were not impressed with our native population. I certainly am. The rez squanders a lot of government money and the situation on many reservations are bad. But then that is not the case everywhere. The Mescaleros down south are pretty organized and I believe they have a good thing going. Some of the smaller tribes around Alb. are doing well too, comparatively.

Dont fear Santa Fe. We even accept the ass holes here and so you will always find one (or two). There are more beautiful souls here than you can imagine...again it is understated.

The treasure here is classic...hidden. It is certainly here. Both north and south.
