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.

I would definitely check out a different flavor. I remember a bipolar thread where.......um I don't remember his name .....but he suggested three varieties as I recall that would be more manic friendly. The kind that wires me a bit tight along w/ my own hardwiring....made for an interesting situation. I just don't care that much for the zone out type. 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 ā??acts a partā? 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.
