For more than a decade I have been a sort of activist for medical marijuana. But after ten years of living without it, and living WELL without it, I'm changing my tune.
Yes, it had a place in my life when I couldn't figure out any other way to manage my mental illness. I'm not saying it didn't work, just that it is an imperfect solution. For one thing, it scrambles yer brain pretty bad and makes it very difficult to keep yer life organized. Also, it's so hard to prepare and ingest. An antipsychotic PILL is so much easier to take, and so much more reliable and consistent. A little caffeine is all I need for those times that I'm feeling run-down/depressed.
Marijuana is so damned expensive, even in California where it's "legal." Also I feel I look and dress so much better without the incapacitating effects of weed.
I don't see any changes in the marijuana culture. It still seems like the road leads to turning into a tie-dye wearing hippie. I don't want to become that.
