Oh wow! “Signed up just to respond to your post” <— makes me teary in a positive way. Welcome to OG and as you can tell this is as safe as an place can be when it’s up to the individuals in play to play well. And we play very well here!
There’s an introduction thread here to say your greetings on a global scale:
I can’t express how much the sweet leaf has helped me through all of this; even before I knew what was going on.
I was introduced to it by a friend that just stopped because he was getting into politics and I then found out how well it helped me focus (smoking). So, I smoked through college and graduated with honors, started career before graduation and been a chimney the entire time. It’s about knowing your limits and working within them. I knew some Russian friends back in the day that we only functional when minimally drunk… but they have other traumas that made them that way but they are still working and functional family folk. (I don’t even drink).
I would be medicated as well if I didn’t end up smoking so much; and for that I feel blessed because I’ve been there for friends as they travel that roller-coaster.
Much love and looking forward to seeing your adventures here!
