and gets you nowhere.

Had it for almost a year jarring it hoping to potentiate it as much as possible, but it is still 'D' weed. Thats when I quit buying from 'kids'.

My 'dealer' is in her 80's and just got out of the hospital and ain't going nowhere for a while.

find a pot, get good dirt, plant a seed, water it, give it good light, and indoors, you have a 4 month grow and outdoors at the end of summer. Meanwhile, you get to play with a living plant.

Ever get higher than a kite, get the munchies, and have no bread for food? Sometimes Ben and Jerry's ceases to be luxury item (or whatever your munchie of choice may be), and is a nutritional staple which continuing bodily survival depends upon. Take it from an old hippie.

Just sayin'.

and, I hear that weed is much more potent these days, then ANY food might be edible. The commune would always have a pot of tasteless brown rice sitting there to share, wouldn't it? Can't quite remember.

I've got enough for at least the next 3 weeks, after that I will probably have to rely on delivery which is expensive - damn. But until then I have a boutique of good medical strains and so am ok, painwise for awhile.

1. Poop is among us

If you don’t wash your hands after handling money, you may want to rethink that decision. Research has found most money contains fecal matter and other potentially pathogenic organisms. A study published in Southern Medical Journal reported the presence of disease-causing agents in about 94% of the bills tested. Furthermore, another study found approximately one in 10 bank cards contain fecal bacteria. When the hands of research participants were studied, more than 26% showed traces of fecal germs such as E. coli. So if you’re wondering what that smell is, it might be the money in your wallet.

just in case I may have it, I don't want to give it to them. I might get sick and get better. They might die.

In normal conditions it would be great to smoke a joint with a 79 year old hippie.

Today I had to do my regular food shopping. I went to 6 stores to get my normal stuff and never saw toilet paper. Wanted to get vitamin c as we were down to the last tablets. Could not find it. But every store I went into I talked to the workers and thanked them. One clerk told me yesterday it was a zoo in the store but today no lines (except for hand sanitizer ) but how cool being thanked by smoking a doobie.

I need to stock up on water softener salt, and I'm pretty sure that's not something people are hoarding. Well, kind of sure. It will be interesting to see how well Aldi is holding up. There are a few things I'd like to pick up.
