The last time I got sick was when I was in the hospital visiting a friend. Missed two days of work.

Actually, I've misspoken. The last time I was retchedly ill was after drinking alcohol (small quantity).

I smoke on a daily basis. I work two jobs, one of which is for an attorney who SWEARS I do my best work while buzzin.

I've suffered my whole life with depression and feelings of low-self worth. In my twenties, I discovered cannabis. It helps me feel normal and keeps me from wanting to kill the driver in the Hummer that nearly pushed me into the median, because he was on his cell phone and wasn't paying attention.

When I met my husband, he was a drinker. I turned him on to weed (not his first time,tho). Now, he comes home, smokes a little with me, and we stay inside and enjoy each other's company. After all, who can safely share the road with drunk drivers? BTW, there's a can of beer sitting in our fridge for the last 3 weeks. Anyone want it?
Also, the added benefit of saving money.
An eighth ounce of MJ costs about 30 dollars. That lasts at least two weeks, if not longer. How long does 30 dollars go in a bar? Or a liquor store? Not to mention, we need not worry about recycling the bottles (however, some alchol imbibers don't recycle their beer bottles...they just throw them out the window on the side of the road).

We are quiet, peaceful, taxpaying citizens. We are college educated and have never been on ANY government assistance programs. No DUI's either. Unfortunately, noone can count our opinion, because if we gave it, we'd be arrested and thrown in jail.

EVERYTHING is bad for you if you overdo it. Too much Vitamin D is bad for you. Too much caffeine is bad for you.

And i have NEVER smoked so much as to be "wrecked". It just doesn't happen. At one point, you say to yourself. I'm tired. It's 11:00 p.m. I have work in the morning. I'm going to bed.

Is this criminal behavior?

I think I'll stick with Pomegranite juice, which has shown itself to be more beneficial than Red Wine.

And dang near as expensive as weed!
