Yes well, for those of us that just got ditched out of a longterm relationship, a plant is the next best thing. It never cheats on you, ignores you, talks shit back to you, etc. yes finding the right person would be nice, but not everyone is ready for that at a particular age. My puppy is my best friend right now, even though I know I could find a willing female for the typical pursuit, whats the point? Plus, you know the plant is gonna make you happy in the end when you clip it and smoke it :-P.
