Trypsy Summers, you sound like you have a nice lifestyle. I really want to retire but can't afford it yet. We own a little peice of land in Portugal and I'm paying my morgage off in the UK. The dream is to retire in Portugal, grow our own food etc. and perhaps rent out the house in the UK to provide some income. I have a feeling it isn't financially feasable and I'll be stuck working full time for many years yet.
I have a thought about portugal. Cannabis is de-crimiminalised (sort of) but growing isn't legal. If I grew my own there would I have legal problems I wonder?
I read they don't treat drug users as criminals but as people with an illness that need help. If you have more than a months supply of any drug they send you to rehab. But I wonder about herb. I get the impression many people go there to live this kind of life so maybe it's kind of accepted?
Portugal is often promoted as a very progressive place regarding drugs policy but still with no "right to grow" it dosn't really seem that progressive to me unless it is pretty much the case in practice.
My friend; life is really what you make of it,
As I alluded to earlier, I was in the system, 'a little Tina Handerson' working like a slave, and I sure loved my slavery, I fucking loved it!...I shudder now when I recall how I felt it was unthinkable not to go out to work, to be a commuter, giving them the best time of my existence/life (up to that point) until I woke the fuck up...
The system has people believing, (instead of knowing) in nonsense, working you to the bone, and when you're done, your cast aside to shuffle off the mortal coil, your best years left way behind in service to the system.
Don't get me wrong, life is really about choices, and what you do with them. I saw the opportunity and just went for it! My friend everything we need, we have, as the saying goes,
"knock and the door really does open, ask and you really will receive." These are universal truths that once understood cannot be broken...
In terms of growing Cannabis, I live in the UK and lets just say we ain't really apprehensive about what they want to to deem as illegal, people around our way don't really get involved in being captured,
the women (and men) round here are warriors quietly tending their crops, and living a good life - by living by the Golden Rule, which is the the only law that matters, that is;
unto others do not that, you would not suffer to have done unto you...
I guess what I'm saying; is that you just need to raise your frequency, my friend, cos in life you'd be surprised at how little the term 'CAN'T' applies in your life when you work with a higher vibration...
Tomorrow I'm going to be picking some potatoes from the no dig plot, I've harvested some squashes yesterday, the chicken eggs are just excellent, the bees are in fine fettle going into winter, this will be my first winter as a beekeeper (on my own) so we'll see how they go, gotta say they are very defensive at the moment.
So I'm going to go and collect apples make some Apple Cider Vinegar and also collect some opium lettuce to make in to natural painkillers pills. I don't use pills/tablets or anything prescribed from Big Pharma, the closest I get to the state health service is to go and get a diagnosis if needs be, then I go away and treat myself, I think I would only go to the N.H.S. if I needed them to cut something out, but never for any prescriptions and other such poisons, but hey that's just us,
I would not say I'm free, cos in this world that is impossible...However, I can live a life that is free from disturbance and not being under the amount of stress that puts people in Fuckedupsville...
And at the moment, that kinda makes me content...
Nearly has content as I will be when my 260watt 301L Quantum board drops, in a week of so!
So yeah its all about that - life
Pure Peace
That's my random thought.
