At some point in all of this mess there is still the middle way. Just like what WE let happen with the internet and most everything else in life. Let THE POWER build it up and use the parts we need. Give what you can and take what you need. As always - they MAY make you act but they CAN’T make you think. (Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull said that once) Legislated morality just doesn’t work.
Is cannabis being just taken off Schedule 1 optimal? Hardly! Is it workable? Oh yeah
just a reminder it’s on Schedule 1 now and over 70% of the US by population has access to legal cannabis with more states being added continuously … about the same 70% think cannabis should be legal for adult recreational use. What will the future look like now that the Feds have agreed to expunge all federal simple possession cases and ARE seriously looking at removing it from Schedule 1 status ??? Who knows… even though far from perfect its a heck of lot better than it used to be just a decade ago… the future is looking pretty rosey to me (if we can quit fighting with each other over stupid stuff and don’t blow ourselves up)
on a personal note I agree with Reiko and I’m as puzzled over it even being an issue as I am many other things being one; like ethnicity, nationality, gender preference, religion or politics
I agree with this, movement is a positive direction is at hand, It gives me hope everyday that the future of this planet provides the freedom for anyone to grow their own medicinal cannabis.
Preview of this Friday’s St. Patricks Day Monster Mash
You always amaze me! It looks to me like this coming Friday we are all going to be able to -
GO LUCK OURSELVES!
I’m tagging Image two as one of my favorites so far! Here! Here! @Heliosphear ! Wow
Being a real music-aholic I’m going to borrow a few words from one of our current prophets:
“ right now, right now
I’m doing the best I can
At this point in my life
…
At this point in my life
I’d like to live as if only love mattered
As if redemption was in sight
As if the search to live honestly
Is all that anyone needs
No matter if you find it” tl chapman
Should I ever overstep my bounds please call me out on it. If I hurt anyone’s feelings please let me know and I will do all I can to make it right. Even if that ends up meaning I’m sorry your feelings are hurt but not for what I said. I really don’t mind anyone disagreeing with me but if you want to debate your point then please have a reason for your belief not a belief for your reasoning. I don’t hate Billy Preston but I’m simply not playing ‘Will he go round in circles.’ If I say something that’s questionable or just plain not right - PLEASE bring it up so we can all learn. A few on The OG have needed to a time or two in the past and I’m better off for it. If the occasion fits call BS.
I REALLY have no desire or wish to do more harm than good - I’ve done that quite long enough in my 65 years and it’s not a wise choice.
So, humbly I honestly ask that if ever the yield just doesn’t add up to the amount of fertilizer PLEASE let me know. I can’t even try to fix what’s broken if I don’t know about it.
I appreciate you good folks more than you know and I’d really like to thank each and every one of you with a big smile, a handshake and big fat bowl if I could. But since that isn’t going to happen please know I wish each of you - my growmies, homies and friends only the very best ALWAYS.
Just a reminder the guess the weight game is still on and starts on the 23rd.
I will be out of town from the 24th through the 28th so I’m gonna miss the live posting of @Heliosphear ‘s unveiling of Episode Four of Frank in Space. I will however be here this Friday when the @MoBilly ‘s rescue Adamia from the Thundercats?!? You are going to have to show up to see how this one pans out. Episode Three of the Graphic Novel will be released this Saturday with Episode Four showing up shortly after my return.
The prize pool has one more entry - for first place a VERY special gift is in the works - more on that later.
For now - here’s the prize pool for the Guess The Weight Game
DAMN Bro, them’s some nice stoner treats. Kinda bummed I’m ineligible for this contest but it wouldn’t be fair anyways, I’ve seen what you can do with a robust herb like those Hildas!
Here’s a Hilda cola:
How many colas did @BU2B estimate are in that tent? Jus Sayin.
@BU2B Sometimes I linger in the darkness of a smoke filled room and think of my life as it’s been, in what was… wondering around the planet, seeing what I’ve seen grants me the illusion of being there again. These days and times we communicate builds those memories I will return to years from now, It is a honor to be OG with you.

Uh oh. Starting the day on an empty Like reserve
But… helping to set the mood a little Irish-Jigging Wookiefoot reminder - All Together!
Just because we think of treasure
not in terms of gold and silver
Doesn’t mean that we don’t have our wealth
Some say we have lost it
But know in a world gone mad
Sanity is no real sign of health
So drop your bags and drop your fears
Lift your voice and voice your cheers
Hoist your mug and give some hugs
Shout your mantra sing your prayer
Look around we’re all right here
It just proves we’re not all there
We may not have it all together But together we can have it all
(Hi di-diddly-i dum diddly-iddle-idle-dum
hi dum di diddly-i day)
The purpose of this life is to live a life with purpose
So don’t get trapped inside your safety net
So fill you well and light your flame
But go on seeking service
Life with out a cause is life with out effect
