It's time to start planning!

My bad, I'm not so bright. You're right.

[king of the world]

i might go but i dont really know whats going on there.
is it all about protesting and fight the power type shit ?

I was gonna say..........I saw pictures of the last few years and it looked like the average age was about 17 or so. I'd definitely stick out like a sore thumb at 41. lol. Looks like fun for the college kids though.

Well honey I'm older than you and I want to go for exactly that reason- to support the med mj cause there need to be older solid type citizens involved. As long as the kids don't have any role models amoung older adults, they will continue to be marginalized.

Anyway, it is a good excuse to meet with friends beforehand, have a smoke and then mingle at the common. The venders have some neat things sometimes and there are speakers to listen to and petitions to sign- of course you can't safely smoke there - ITS ILLEGAL

So who else is up for the fun?

Well maybe I'll go then!!! I just don't know anyone to go with so I thought I'd look like the old mommy spy or something. lol.

Gawd I WISH they'd legalize pot in Mass!!! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and weed is the ONLY thing that helps without any side effects, but unfortunately I was getting it from a friend's brother who just moved away so now I'm left bone dry. I have called up all the people I used to smoke with in HS too and what the heck everyone stopped smoking except for this one guy who I barely knew who apparently lives in Cali now. I really shouldn't have to stoop to begging at this point in my life you know what I mean? I mean I've even contemplated going to the streets where I KNOW they sell but for goodness sakes I'm 41 and own a house I shouldn't have to do all this for medicine to help me!!!

It's very very very frustrating. I'm in the planning stages of setting up a grow room but I mean c'mon I took home ec, not shop, so this is gonna take some TIME.

I agree, it is ridiculous to be adults put into such a position! You should really focus on growing a few plants for your own use. Since I decided to do that last year, I have had several fine harvests- and I no longer have to expose myself to some dealer's baloney:jointsmile: I was in the same boat as you are, and now it is smooth sailing!
If you go to Hempfest, we could meet up and chat if you'd like- wear a funny hat or something so I'll know you.

[stinkyattic]

Funny hat... hahaha
I'll be wearing a Sox hat.
As usual.
Just like everyone else in Boston....
Except I look damn good in mine! :jointsmile:

[Demeter]

Maybe we should all wear Sox hats! Wouldn't it be great if 50, 100, 387 people showed up at hempfest wearing sox hats

Mr D and I went to Ptown yesterday- a very fun day only slightly marred by way over-rich lobster bisque- my tummy was rumbly all day! Either that or it was the baconburger from the day before- I need to ease up on this heavy eating! My insides can't handle the abuse! So of course I brought home three kinds of fudge!!!
But we also got a great Christmas ornament- a bulldog in a leather hat and jacket with a rainbow on the side, wearing shades- so adorable!

Are we all just going to try to meet at the common or should we start elsewhere? Mr. D won't be here that weekend; he's flying to Texas, so you can stay over at my place if you want (I get a little spooked when he's gone
I plan to make some canna butter today- need to fly over to the recipe section-

[stinkyattic]

I'd love to stay over except that I believe I will be catching a ride down with another canncommer from my area. I have to figure out how I am getting there before making any plans since my transportation is a little outta service atm. I have to send off a couple emails and figure all this out.

[Demeter]

You are all welcome to stay at mi casa- if stinky vouches for somebody, they can camp out on my futon anyday!
