Hey, Mingles. I'm actually 44, and thanks for the kind words. I don't mind giving my age. And I'm not at all convinced I have the energy or motivation to take on med school at this age, but I'm still going to try!

I came online here originally to make a connection to help my sister, who's a cancer patient. I did smoke several times with her, but I'm afraid I'm not going to be a continuing ganja smoker now that she's no longer feeling like smoking. It de-motivates me and also seems to give me bad headaches as well as aggravate my asthma. There's the added turnoff of having to work hard at finding sources and then playing the whole shady, illicit game to buy the stuff. It shouldn't be so hard to obtain for folks who need it.

Anyway, this may make me slightly less cool, but even if I don't partake any more, I'll continue to be an advocate for others who need and want weed in their lives.
