My age is another thing. I've seen what the excesses of drinking, smoking, eating wrong, etc., have done to myself and others. Like you, I took responsibility for it myself...bad choices.
It's never too late to get "healthy", in fact, it presents a whole new challenge.
You have to understand, JD...I see you on a mission in life to legalize pot, which as we all know, is easy to obtain anyway. It's another habit I don't need, but it should stop the illegal drug flow across our borders and make money for the government. (I am not an advocate, just saying it's probably time they did).
It's seems such a waste of a good mind and ambition to throw yourself into this goal, when your persistance and talents could be used elsewhere.
Be well...sw
"Legalizing pot" and changing the drug war paradigm may seem like a waste to you, but it is the single biggest obstacle in getting the right to denounce and disavow the policies and doctrines of the New Deal. We cannot hope to stop the liberals abuse of the Constitution as long as we are complicit.
