    And you Joel.

    I am just perhaps stuck in a rut but as
    long as we still arrest people for a drug factually
    less dangerous than aspirin or whiskey I will try
    to reach out thru the medium i.e. Usenet that i
    understand.

    I will be 84 if I last thru the summer
    of 2021, still old and sick.
    But hey, Joel I wish you a very Happy
    Holiday Season and a prosperous New Year in
    2021. If anyone besides you is reading they
    can have that as well.
    Being in San Franciso, California my
    Happiness from the feast of Saint Nicholas
    thru the Solstice to the Inauguration is assured.

    I take medicated gummys with 10 mg of THC
    no more often than twice a day. Sativa derived
    for pain in the day time and Indica derived for
    sleep. I bought my first bottle of tincture
    of cannabis, Sativa derived, last week and when
    I have set and setting a bit more under control
    I will see if I can stimulate my first psychedelic
    experience on a home made brownie back in the 1970s.
    It is a strong tincture but I find the taste of
    cannabis that comes through quite reassuring.
    If that experiment works I will leave a note
    here of course

    Again let me say Happy Holidays!

    bliss- “Nearly any fool can use a computer. Many do.” After all here I am... And so are you my pretty, heh, heh, heh... so are you...

    Hard to know if anyone is still reading the drug newsgroups, but adp
    means a lot to me, and I like to see your Drug War Chronicle posts.

    Sounds interesting, I pretty much lost interest in cannabis, but I
    certainly know its usefulness, it got me through some tough times.
