(and just in case you're wondering, no, I don't smoke the evil weed -- at least I haven't in the past, oh, twenty-five or so years -- I have contemplated taking it up, though, and blowing the smoke into Sophie's face -- we haven't yet tried medicinal marijuana)
Well, I have. I was a young adult of the '60's. So I will say no more.
ReplyDeleteSadly I have never tried weed but I would like to. Perhaps when Canada legalizes it:)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking and thinking about your film project, mums sending their younger selves message about caring for their disabled children. I can't come up with anything. I think about it everyday and I still don't know what I would say. Sorry.

Plants aren't evil, people are. We smoked (and grew MJ in our closet) in the early 70's for a short time in our hippie days. It's an herb, a plant.

Every herb/drug/food on earth has the potential for abuse if you think about it...Alcohol kills more people than wars ever did, but that's another soapbox subject.
ReplyDeleteBlessings! :-)
That is the funniest (and most frightening) thing I've read in a long time! I am not against medical marijuana, but I do see the logistical difficulty with trying to keep people from driving high. I certainly wouldn't want to be on the road with any of them! Especially with my kids in the car!
ReplyDeletewe just read The Soloist for our book club, amazing writer and man.
