I’ve been getting stoned for 50 years, growing my own for 40. It never leaves my house [...]

Do you ever leave your house? /sarcasm

My eldest brother died at age 69 after forty years of almost continual* marijuana use. (Had built a nice little house for himself up in the "jungle" at about 1,500 ft elevation on the Big Island.) Finally got a copy of the CoD a few days ago. Died of Parkinson's Disease. There is no history of that in our (very large) family of (very) long-lived Scandinavians. Been wondering how his MJ use may have contributed to it.

Regards,

*Full disclosure: I don't actually know what constitutes "heavy" use - but I believe that he smoked it at least daily.

“Do you ever leave the house?”

Not since Instacart began delivering to our tucked away redoubt, lol. Our plan before the China virus was to isolate ourselves and enjoy our land. There is nothing at all on our bucket list.

Haven't spoke to or looked another person in the eye in 8 months, lol. Recently came off a 14 month absolute media, news, and culture blackout. I knew who was inaugurated, that's it.

The blackout didn't rejuvenate as much as many expect. Tough to forget the body blows of the past two decades. After I ended the blackout… holy freaking wow!!

Always thought I'd end up envious of the young. Too bad they don't know enough that they should be envious of the old goats and bags who actually lived a human life.

I set off at 18 to become a Hawaii hippie, only lasted a year but got acquainted with many living similarly to your brother. God bless him.
