he said
that isn't really a joint you know
it's just a kind of
tobacco
with green
and I know it's not the usual shape for a
roll-roll-roll-your-own cigarilla but it
takes all kinds and if I want
to use up my cigarette papers
that way
I think that's my business
~
he said
well alright but
I didn't smoke it
you caught me too soon
and I only would have taken a puff what harm
can a single puff do to you or me
we are men of the world
and I've smoked this stuff
daily for thirty-two years
so have you
I bet
haven't you
come on you can tell me
my friend
we are both men
~
he said
it was only for me
just a private device for my mental health
I don't know how that other guy got any but
I’m no dealer
I'm not
look at me look at me do I look
like a dealer
no
I'm an honest man
honest like the sun in the sky
the length of a day
you can trust me
my friend
I would never do that
~
he said
but that's bullshit
you know there's no truth in that tale
I’m not ill
I’m well
and the doctors those bastards
have no business to be holding me here
against my will
I could sue them you know
and I might just do that I will sue them
for having no right to hold me
to treat me with pills and injections
while denying these things
that I need
I want my release
want my freedom
want out of here and you
please
give me back my weed
oh
you're all bastards and shits
go away
I thought I could trust you but
you're a bad man
as bad
just as bad
as the rest
you are not good
~

Apparently weed can be helpful in some cases so some experts claim. I would not know as I have never been in contact with any drugs except tobacco and alcohol.
Medicinal marijuana is on the scene now. I'm no authority but I think there are varieties that are included and excluded from use, also I think it involves the use of the essential oils.
Certainly there is a changed press about Marijuana.
My own knowledge is that smoking dope can and often does open pathways to psychosis. Sometimes, there's no way back.
Cheers.
Frank,
An interesting read!
I’m not an expert on marijuana! However, I do know a man who has been using a controlled quantity for medicinal purposes for years! It is working for him!

Yep. Not an issue for many people. The folk that come my way are having real problems by the time they get to us.
Fast forward to today's situation and you have rampant ICE use destroying another generation. Not too flash, really.
You’re right about that!
