I am posting because of curiosity. I'm curious about pot. I guess I could hide my curiosity behind veiled questions and pretend to know what the hell I'm talking about, but to tell the truth, I'm 42 years old, and I've never tried pot before. I'm interested in it now because I've had a shitty year so far, and I'm tired of the pain and being stressed out. I sit here wondering if pot would somehow mellow me out a little, let me relax, and take away some pain.

Since January, I've had to deal with the following: I was diagnosed with diabetes; I had an MRI on my neck and found out I need spinal surgery again to remove bone spurs which came from a previous surgery and are now pressing on my spinal cord; my father had a stroke and is now paralyzed on one side; my uncle was diagnosed with breast cancer...yes, my UNCLE...and since my grandfather, his twin sister, and MY sister all had breast cancer, I have to get a mammogram because I am now genetically predisposed to it (ain't that a bitch?); I am a new father...which in and of itself is wonderful, but my son doesn't sleep much at night...so therefore, I don't sleep much at night; and finally, my wife has been understandably depressed since her mom's cancer recently spread to her brain.

I used to be a carefree, funny, and happy person...but not lately. Now, I'm just tired, in pain, and discouraged. Maybe pot would help...maybe not. I'm not even sure why I'm posting this. I'm really not looking for sympathy...I guess I'm just wondering if smoking a joint now and then would give me a brief respite from myself, or if it would just cause me to be paranoid worrying that I'm going to get busted with it.

Oh well...any thoughts?
