These days I wonder if getting caught for accepting shipped marijuana might mean that they get to pick and choose which law you've broken...be carefull - the cops and DA's have all drunk the Kool-Aid and believe all the shit they've heard from the government. You might end up labelled a terrorist.
And, one more thing, sorry.... I don't believe (AND YOU shouldn't either) that any of these fine institutions are serving patients who don't deserve to be able to buy weed. We just need to include the hidden diseases, like Turettes, depression, and ADHD, I know only those first two have made an impression in the media, and they're not likely to shine a spot-light on ADHD the way it deserves (for political reasons surrounding our criminal justice system - they're already lobbying us for supporting the idea that a brain imbalance doesn't really cause you to do bad things, which is BS - impulse control is a real problem for ADHD people).
Yes, I am saying that ADHD is a valid reason for medical marijuana, and can prove it - just look at how many people get busted for drugs and sent to jail or prison, that's my proof. If they didn't need the drugs they wouldn't use them. That's how it really works - people don't just wake up and look for something to get them high if they're emotionally connected and enjoying life, not always stressed out. Stressed people need drugs, and they don't care about the laws restricting them from obtaining them, that's also how it works. But we have laws, so screw what people need, they get stuck in jail. We have to change this insanity.
And, I am saying that each of us needs to push back at the established lies about our drug and why we medicate. Buying into the line that people who aren't really sick, and the statement they're just trying to get high, is drinking the establishment's kool-aid. The real way to language it is this: people self-medicate for their condition, even tho they cannot verbalize the reasons...and that doesn't mean they don't have a condition, it just means they don't have access to healthcare, or a doctor who can properly diagnose their condition (or that they accept their condition and have chosen an alternative to traditional therapy).
It's taken me almost a year to find out I have ADHD, and am still learning what that means - so far I've figured out it means I developed a web of emotional self-defense mechanisms that allowed me to turn-off my dopamine, but didn't realize that was an over-reaction once I'd become old enough to deal with those emotions and situations, now I have to go back and unearth all of them and destroy the ones that don't really work, and develop the skills to deal.
I reject the dominant narratives that don't reflect reality or scientific fact, and I reject the getting high narrative, it lacks perspective. People who have ADHD by definition enjoy life less than everyone else, so it may feel like getting high, compared to where we were, but compared to someone who's got dopamine in meaningful amounts, it's nothing. it's not even catching up with the dopamine enabled, let alone surpassing him.
ps: am going thru withdrawals, and feel like venting, thanks for reading, hope I changed you mind about something.
