ok so i'm about to have a rant lol
i was just having a chat with my hydro guy and he was tellin me that in SA they are bringing in a law that any purchase from a hydro shop you have to provide 100 points of id that they must record. plus there's been a hold up with the shipment of the coco mix i use coz of the wording on the package. bah, why are they putting so much effort into enforcing anti dope laws when they dont understand them. what are they really scared of with dope? that people will be too relaxed? that a few people who had a predisposition to mental illness ended up getting a mental illness after smoking buckets of skunk? first off, prove that they weren't going to get this illness regardless. i have suffered depression and anxiety since i was 13 years old and they're more than happy to throw valium, temazepam, lithium, prozac, zoloft, cipramil (to name but a few) at it - yet the one thing that works and does NOT make me feel like a sack of shit is illegal. fuck that. my best friends husband has an injury and he's been diagnosed with some chronic pain syndrome, he legally takes like 80mg of opiets a day - throws up can't sleep etc etc, yet a pot brownie is the most effective thing he's used - but he can't use it because it's illegal! and it may effect the court case.
i dont have an issue with them pursuing drugs that can easily cause harm, overdose etc - but fuck, who has ever overdosed on weed? GARGH!
I know how u feel Kmoo.. At this point our privacy is really quite invaded. I went into my Hydro store a few weeks back n they were having problems with the Cash Register & could only accept Eftpos & Credit Card payments.. I put my shit back on the shelf & told them i'd see them in a few days.
Also i love my Ganja (who woulda guessed it I know) over prescription drugs.
I've been on such Zoloft (150mg a day) & a new trial 1 called Mirtazipine (45mg a night). They f*kd wit my moods, made me gain weight, couldnt sleep was basically a zombie.
I learned to grow and now - well, now im still a zombie, but it's so much better
But basically i couldnt be happier.
I dont feel as though my intelligence has dropped any, nor do i feel as though in 20 yrs i will live to regret what i've done. I take a natural substance which other countries have been forward thinking enough to include in legitimate medicine.
I do not ever touch pills, powders, opiates etc.. So i don't ever see my life being given over to it.
Also my dad is 56. He has had 4 spinal ops & 3 shoulder reconstructions. Same deal with him as ur friend. They gave him opiates that made him vomit black.. The dosage he required, combined with his age was quite literally killing him.. His Kidneys were shutting down.. Now he has a joint or 2 about an hr after dinner & sleeps like a baby.
