And I do meditate, though not inwardly, I try to focus on things like, "why is it a bad idea to set that police cruiser on fire", and "why is it possibly wrong to set that new hog confinement ablaze".

It's hard to cut off thoughts at their roots when you alternate between two states of mind: exhausted but unable sleep and bouncing off the walls unable to hold a single thought for a minute. In between that, for me, is THC. I'm not even a heavy smoker, just daily (as allowed). In other words, I don't smoke to get all loopy, I do it to calm the fuck down, without the anal leakage and all that accompanies those creepy synthetics.

But since what you said was brilliant, I'm gonna have to take it to heart. I got some babies in the basement, so I got hope. I'll give the tattwas a go, maybe a middle pillar exercise, just the very next time I've had eight consecutive hours of sleep. These types of things were commonplace not very long ago for me...when kryps were plentiful and my friends were around.

I am placing the Jewel into the Lotus...DAnnyboy you should tell more of your meditation practices as a legal high...and THANK YOU for being

Damn if you lived in my state we could have worked something out.. (bad experiences with shipping to other states, heh).
Well anyhow, as for our government, I agree that there are many flaws in the system and things just aren't working for the best for people sometimes. Although it is something we all have to live with.. acceptance is the first step to liberation. I hope your babies do well, provide them with love!
You definitely want to rest up a little bit before picking up meditation, but here's a few links to help you out understanding the basics of it. It is a powerful ability and I think everyone should practice it. Especially if you're a used smoker.. the effects can be very similar sometimes.

Much luck to ya mate.
