My yard is fenced and I have no neighbors as I'm out in the country in
an agricultural area. Only my lawn service would find it.

They might be able to tell you where to find some.

You seem to think everything I say is nasty. Maybe we don't speak the
same English (*that* was intended to be nasty). You'd be surprised what
people spend spare cash on. But mostly likely, if they partake, they
grow it. BTW, they can't be making too bad of a living. The guys who
take care of my yard have been working for the same company for *years*.
They aren't migrant farm workers, fer cryin' out loud. I dare say
they make a heck of a lot more money than your average burger flipper.

I've never known anyone who used meth but by all accounts it is an
extreme problem. Ditto cocaine. One of my brothers had a friend who
was very successful; good job, very nice condo... until he got hooked on
cocaine. Last I heard he had lost everything (including all his
friends). I don't know where he wound up.

True, but Janet lives a hair's breadth away from the Mexican border.
You can't tell me no one in Mexico grows (or smokes) marijuana. Even if
the lawn service guys don't partake themselves, I'll bet they know
someone who does.

In that case you should be aware that sometimes, you may find yourself
talking to someone better qualified, with better or more up to date scientific
information than yourself, who has something useful to tell you that might change
your mind.

To keep sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting "yah boo" is not,
intelligent conversation.

about 99% of the lawn workers here are of Mexican heritage. I do live
on the border. I don't deal directly with the lawn guys, first they
don't speak much English and second they are here at 7 AM. I deal with
the landscape company owner who is not of Mexican heritage. I could ask
around. Maybe I will.

I think I'll just wait and see how I do. The last time I had very
little problems with nausea. The drugs were very helpful, though they
made me sleepy. This will be a different concoction of poison and a
different dosing schedule, so I'm not sure how I'll react.

Every worker I've hired that was of Mexican heritage was a good,
reliable, hard worker. Can't say the same for the couple of "white
boys" I've hired.

The company I use has a lot of jobs to do; they rarely get here before
10:30 AM.

Strictly up to you, of course. One of the men on the crew who takes
care of my yard speaks English very well. No, I have never asked him
about marijuana. However, I don't think much of a translation is needed.

I'm really sorry to hear you need to go through chemo again. From what
my father told me, it's quite unpleasant. The first time he went
through it one of the nurses told him to buy some L-glutamine powder
(allegedly a nutritional supplement) and add it to a milkshake. He
swore it made him feel better. <shrug>

I certainly wasn't claiming all Mexicans smoke pot, either. Yes, they
are very hard workers. It's not an easy job, especially not in searing
heat in the summer. Last month, along with general yard maintenance
they cleaned the leaves off my roof and cleaned the gutters. You won't
catch me climbing around on the roof.

Thanks, Jill. My problems from the chemo last summer were more related
to the loss of white and red blood cells than to discomfort. The doctor
says this now combo should be easier on my system and the fact that it's
once a week for three weeks then a week off might be better tolerated.
I'm doing two rounds then we'll take a PET scan. If the spots are gone,
we'll stop.

Unlike last summer where there was a big mass, there are only two little
spots in the lower part of the lung and one lung nodule that lit up.
They are so small that they would not have detected by a CT scan.

I'm trying to be hopeful, but it's hard as I haven't gotten over my
husband's sudden death on June 1.

I am pretty sure there is a Mexican word for marijuana ;-)

It's a damned shame that they don't use marijuana for more people
undergoing chemo. It is alleviates the nausea and increases the
appetite. I am not sure about mood enhancement. It can also made some
people depressed, and cancer patients often don't feel any reason to be
happy.

I can't say I know what you're going through because I don't. I do
think you've shown a remarkable zest for life, even in light of the
recent loss of your husband. For all of that, you have my highest regard.

I've been around sick people and drug users my whole life, what more expert opinion do I need? My point was and is that both sides to any argument can, and do, trot out experts to support their side of the story. Happens in the court room all the time. It's happening right here in this news group.. I understand what is being said, I simply challenge the word 'expert' as so often applied to too many people, especially when the expert is in concurrence with what those people believe or want to believe. I am far more open minded than you can imagine. I think I'm done here.

TJ

When a person challenges the law and asks why all drugs can't be legal and easy to procure, the law responds that it would be dangerous, because addicts steal for their drugs.

If that is the case, then the culprit is not the drug, it's living beyond one's means.

The same applies to legitimate workers who are trying to get more than their paycheck provides. They buy all sorts of devices, electronic toys, vehicles, whatever, that they cannot afford to maintain.

Now what do they do? Well, they may not go out and rob a bank. But they might resort to certain unethical behavior - cheating or stealing at work, backstabbing fellow employees, whatever - to get more out of their check than it's designed to provide. That is addiction. But these people are not tossed in jail. And I'm not saying they should be. I am saying that addiction crosses all borders and extends far beyond drugs.

Some people do some really unethical and immoral things to get more out of life than their paycheck provides, yet they are not considered criminals. But to me they are maybe the worst kind, the ones who maintain a legit facade while the wheels of deceit are turning in their addicted brain bags.

Ask any bartender, busboy, ask the employees in your doctor's office or

to go, IMO.

I'm so sorry to read this, Janet. I have the utmost admiration for you in how you have managed the tribulations in your life without losing your spirit and love of life.

I wish you well in handling this latest trial.

I'm very sorry the cancer gas reappeared and that you need to go through
chemo again, Janet. I hope there is light at the end of this really
rough patch for you.

It doesn't taste as bad as it did in past decades. Or so I am told...
I imagine that varies depending on what you buy.

I love the smell of pot. But then I'm a smell guy. I can talk about odors all day long. Better to not get into it or I'll be here all day and never get to the point. What is the point?

Oh, I remember. Crushed pot in a double boiler. Brian, if it's not too much trouble, could you be a bit more specific about how to prepare it? All the ways I've read about seem overly complicated and not foolproof enough for my poor pockets to gamble on.

I ingested pot only once. Loved it. A regular passenger in my cab gave it to me. He called it a lollipop. He said his girlfriend made it. He did not know the recipe.

It was a soft caramel like substance on a lollipop stick. I asked him how much to take. He said the whole thing. But when I got home I removed the caramel substance from the stick and used my fingers to form it into 3 small squares, sort of like caramel squares. Somehow, intuitively, I seemed to 'feel' that this was the right amount. I used it 3 days in a row and it was nice. I also smoked a bit of the commercial stuff I have on hand because I like some heat in the throat now and then to remind me of my old cigaret smoking days.

Anyway, I loved that lollipop and have never been able to find any recipes for anything like it. All the recipes seem too involved. I am not interested in taste or using the edibles to disguise the pot, only for the simplest form of ingestion that can also be monitored. Gel caps sound good, as you say. Your method for making it sounds good too, but I would need more details before ever attempting to make it. And can regular grade weed be used. I use the cheap to mid grade stuff, like $35 a quarter. I suppose I'd give it a $35 shot if the recipe sounds simple enough. Thanks.
