Kindness to our fellow man and woman can go a long way to making this situation better; all it takes is some of your time and a willingness to listen.

This is one reason why I have never used it and neither have the members of my immediate family.

since I’ve been on Facebook, and I don’t miss it. Not at all. Some on here might recognize my username. It’s been quite sometime since I’ve posted here. For some reason the password sent to me kept getting rejected, no matter how many times I typed it. I decided to give it one more try and, voila, here I am. It’s good to post once in a while. Oh yeah, my problem? It’s a lack of flower, and where to find some.

my congressman is Andy “marijuana is a dangerous, addictive gateway drug” Harris. Harris is the main reason DC has no regulated cannabis market. I live about an 1-1/2 from the District. Thanks Andy.. NOT!

I guess I could have it “gifted” to me. What I meant is that it’s not like Colorado, or Oregon or California. That’s what I meant.
