Unlike millions of people on this planet, you can afford to eat sufficiently every day. Furthermore, you have been given the opportunity to indulge in the wonderful cannabis plant. Think of the fact that most people go their whole lives without a single toke. And thank your lucky stars that you were born into this time period rather than say the time of the Black Plague or the Great Depression. You've got a lot going for you.
