My wife has been working from home, totally invading my man cave promising, " You are retired and a great guy so please vape as much as you want, WTF, the world is on lockdown.
A few mornings later as she boots up her office she says, "my God don't you ever give it a break!"
I said,"No my dear I'm fucking retired. Adjust, Adapt, Overcome.........ABV edibles.
Oh yeah(edible kicking in) I was a Middle School teacher/dean that just got out this Christmas, most principals are either air headed bean counters or messianic dictators.
Thankfully with retirement, I have a few close buddies from 6th grade that still party, just saw them on zoom.
One of my old track athletes ,who still runs marathons, brings outstanding herbs and we talk for hours.

watching small things.....every day look at your herb growing - isnt that the most beautiful plant? and the way it smells....mmmhhh
and yes better vape alone than in bad company - but like you i would prefere sometimes to have a vapebuddy/girl to enjoy the beloved plant.
and yes i have to say thx to my wife that she is totally inline with my medicine while self not enjoying it. and she tolerates my lifelong relationship to maryjane - it was one of the first things i told her when we met - i am weeding and will not stop for wedding

That's as it should be; I hate to hear about spouses that get upset with the presence of Cannabis in the other's life.

the most weird fact is that most girls accept alcohol - how stupid
i ve seen some guys gone alcohol addicted because of stopping weeding for their wife

Let me put it this way: I won't spend a lot of time around certain kinds of folks because our views of the world and our values are too different, too conflicting. Like I don't really "get" folks who don't get Cannabis, social justice, the absolute right to determine one's own spiritual path...

It's not a simple thing for me, we accept people who are on all kinds of prescribed drugs some of them much more powerful than some recreational drugs. IMO it really has to be about the individual person and how they are making their way through the day for good or bad reguardless of what drug they are on.

I've got no problem with people who don't use cannabis who don't have a negative view of its use. I don't even have a problem with people who have a negative view of cannabis as long as they don't feel the need to "change me and my use".
I know several people who don't EVER use alcohol or cannabis who have their own reasons for being that way who've never said anything negative to me about my drinking or "constant" recreational use of cannabis. I'm actually glad they feel the way they do because I never have a problem finding a designated driver. One person in particular avoids all mind altering drugs including caffeine and always has and.... I love the guy like he's my own blood because he's a good man.
It's no different than someone trying to push their religious beliefs on me....the first time they express those views I tell them I'm not interested, we'll have to agree to disagree and that I don't wish to discuss it further. It's up to them at that point as to whether we continue to associate but it's dependent on them keeping their opinions to themselves going forward.

Designated drivers are always welcome! Especially those who stay off the soap box!
My next door neighbor is a truly great guy who does not use any drugs to my knowledge.
He knows I vape and could care less. Most of my close friends are daily vapers.
I will discuss religion and politics with anyone for 5 min. after that I'm done! Ex. I believe we need a designated driver
in the White house. IMHO

alcohol use will continue to drop as cannabis expands. it is moot for me as I dont care for alcohols effects anymore.
As an adult I have embraced cannabis use. It lifts up your consciousness unlike our twisted babylon culture has tried to mislead us
Dont feel guilty

to feel guilty kills your spirit - thats why you get told your whole life to feel guilty for whatever
I really don't mind if somepeople dont like cannabis as long as they dont think im defective or damaged or something they might have thought in years gone by,itll be legal before too long. I'd also say its difficult to pigeon hole cannabis users they seem to be all over the political spectrum, I lean towards the left but I know some who are to the right of me and i generally dont like tribalism in any case.

Yep - I love my job. I'd do it for a hobby if I didn't do it for a living. I was told growing up ... "Do what you love and you'll never feel like its work".

You're right, and the same can be said for non-users. It's not really Cannabis that determines who I spend time with, tho my closest friends worship the goddess; it's much more in other realms where I know that I don't want to converse with people.
Thats an aspiration although its out of reach for most, or doing what you love doesnt pay the bills.

It's definitely out of reach for those who don't believe in or follow that advice.....
I've seen folks chose a less lucrative career path because of their love for the work and I've seen those who chose $$$ as the primary criteria for their career path. The ones making less money can't wait to get to work and the others can't wait to get paid. One of my kids chose teaching elementary school. When she declared her major I mentioned that she could make so much more doing something else and she wasted no time telling me she was following the advice I gave her. Over 5 years later she still loves her job and "her" kids. I just wish she made more....
Im not saying it doesnt happen i just think working people are more sceptical of that mentality. Regardless of what my ambitions are my first instinct is to pay my bills, thats how i was bought up. Anyway, unless you get lucky finding a job you love and pays well for most its about slowly manourving yourself into a position where you can actually get the job from your quote. Im British assuming most of you guys/gals are American, so im not sure whether my view on this comes from my upbringing. I was always content, if not happy, doing admin with music my main creative outlet. Perhaps I'll look for another type of job once this corona virus stuff calms down as to be honest I dont like sitting at a desk all day.
Dont tell them there arent any calories in weed other wise theyll take all our stash!/tongueincheek

My point is this: there's nothing we have to work hard at that's fun all the time. Relationships, kids, any job... is a total pain in the ass at times.
I love my job--I'm a professor--but it's a total pain in the ass at times. Being healthy, in my humble opinion, means we have the ability to accept the grunt work, the bureacuracy, the small minds, the problems that beset any relationship, etc., and get through it.
This idea that a job, a marriage, anything, is fabulous all the time, is for fairy tales and little kids.
