I'd breath air into her and it would come out as a bloody, bubbly froth. Worst of all was the fact that her eyes were open, staring up at me the entire time. She didn't make it. Those open, dead, eyes haunted me for months.

    I know what you mean.
    When i was 16 i was a member of a volunteer fire department and one day we wee called to a drowning.
    I helped pull him out of the water. he was 16, it is now 23 years later and i can still see his parents on the shore line screaming and crying and i can still see the look on his(the victoms) face. his arms stretched toward the surface.

    Hmmm... This one makes me think.
    I would say:

    -The day my grandpa died
    -The day I met my best friend
    -The day I learned my alcohol limit
    -The first time I used cannabis, also the day I first researched it and realized that my government had been lying to its people for decades
    -Going away to college
    -Realizing that my ex and I were polar opposites
    -A spiritual experience after eating 'something'

    and others. Life is an ongoing journey, so I find it hard to find single individual events that shape me. Every second of my life has had some sort of an impact on who I am.

    The usual big life events have helped shape me, like marriage, the day my son was born, graduation from college, grad, post-grad school.

    But the other big life-shapers have been:
    - Witnessing the dirt-poor poverty, backwardness, and lack of civil rights in my native state of Louisana and seeing what a difference education can make in people's lives and futures (gave me a social and educational conscience)
    - Recovering, psychologically and physically, from a brutal beating I received from a crazy state hospital patient when I was only 19 (confirmed my vulnerability but also helped strengthen me)
    - The death of my grandparents, particularly my grandfather on my dad's side, who was a surgeon, and my grandmother on the other side, who was a school principal (my heroes)
    - Seeing accidental death and other awfulness through work as a paramedic (always served to make my own life seem more precious)
    - The divorce of my closest friend and her husband (gave me a new take on holding onto marriage through the rough spots)
    - Volunteering to work with abused women and other types of victims and also interacting with their abusers/offenders at the county women's shelter (lessened my tolerance for jackasses)
    - Coming close to dying from a ruptured appendix/peritonitis and having the second-chance at life re-align my priorities
    - The death of my older sister (similar re-alignment of priorities)
    - Interacting with babies and children over the years under various circumstances (affirmation of what matters in life, which is family and love, not material stuff)

    On a less touchy subject, this place has changed my life. I'm not a marijuana enthusiast like I'm sure this board was created for, I mean we have a spirituality section here and no one talks about marijuana spirituality. This place is for us to get high and share laughs, tears, good times and bad. I've never been more grateful for anything in my life. I like being able to smoke a fat bowl and sit down and read about other people smoking fatter bowls, or being high in the background of your local news station's cameras (It still tickles my side, Sweeney). Here I am free to express myself, much like in the outer world, but it's different here because we've all flocked to cannabis.com together. And you know what they say, "birds of a feather flock together." I love escaping into your personal stories. I'm a part of the your harvest, your lament and your high. We get stoned together and there's no denying the spiritual satisfaction I get from knowing that elsewhere in the world you're lighting up a spliff and sharing your experiences here. I'm forever changed by this place and will keep evolving as a person as long as I keep coming back for more.

    I have been through many things but one of the most positive changing experience of my life was the first time I ate shrooms. It changed the way I look at beauty in the world. I can find it everywhere now.
