The Road Goes On Forever
I've got to get this in for our kids, grandkids, etc., in case they ever wonder why I didn't go to Woodstock. There was no reason, Woodstock was coming to Sunny Isles, at Thee Image (do a search for bands that performed there), right on the beach, with hot Italian girls from NYC, in bikini's. No thanks, I'll stay right here. I digress, yet again.
Owsley's words have been my reality for many years now. I exchange buds with friends, as I say when doing it, "It's always nice to get a little strange, isn't it?". When one of my best friends says "I don't know where you get your buds but they always make me feel great", it makes _me_ feel good. A word about security, in over 40 years of growing cannabis, the only ones who have known I grow have been my wife and my dogs, period... end of story. I've lived by these simple rules:
1. Don't tell.
2. Don't show.
3. Don't sell.
I'm now breaking numbers one and two because I want to document what I've done and how I've lived my life with cannabis for our kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. I will never break number three because it's not morally right for me. After I'm gone, my family will be free to sell anything related to what I've done to whoever they want.
Even though the government has always made me feel like one, I'm not a criminal. I've done nothing wrong. I've grown a plant that has never harmed or killed anyone and used it as a way to stay centered and focused in happiness, rather than being trapped in the reality of death and despair.
There's nothing wrong with using cannabis after you realize you've come home with brains on your shoe.
Using cannabis has helped me cope with the death of close family and friends, the disappointment and sadness of relationships that failed, as well as the trauma of everyday life with school shootings, fatal accidents, and murders. I don't always use it to make me feel good, sometimes I use it so I won't feel so bad. Yet somehow, it makes sense for the U.S. government to allow alcohol and tobacco that are known, proven killers to be legal but I can go to prison for cannabis? That is utter insanity and a complete injustice.
I'm a Fugitive From Injustice.
