Check in here if you smoke Marijuana currently.....

[debbierlus]

Recommend, if you smoke pot CURRENTLY....no matter how little or much...


You don't even have to comment or kick, recommending will be your Yay vote, so you don't even have to have your username show.

Oh, & since I can't recommend my own post.

I will recommend it here

:)

[rcrush]

1. This is a trick!

Are you a cop?!

[debbierlus]

7. Oh, stop it. I am most certainly NOT a cop, and I don't think a recommend on a message board

even in these ridiculous times, will get anyone on your case...

No, I am NOT a cop!

[HowHasItComeToThis]

204. WISH I DID....

[Hawkeye-X]

2. I do... but not as often as I'd like to..

Parents are on my ass to try to get me to quit... I'm going to go the "legal path" in Janruary and get a scrip.

MMJ is legal here in denver. Hell, you can possess under 1 ounce of MJ legally.

[debbierlus]

9. It's a misdemeanor under an ounce in MA (or maybe half ounce)

[intheflow]

129. Also a misdemeanor here in Denver

for anyone to have an ounce, mmj patient or not.

[Betsy Ross]

3. Vaporizing

+1 Rec Remove n/t from subject on edit. Compulsive.

[cali]

83. by far the best way to ingest

[asdjrocky]

124. I like my vaporizer.

But I have to say I still love my joints.

[fascisthunter]

126. never tried that

but am very curious

[asdjrocky]

134. What's cool is you can just keep the bag in the fridge if you don't finish it.

Now it's not something I'd recommend unless you were sitting on a fat bag, but yeah it's worth it. I'm also big into butter making.

[fascisthunter]

136. damn... haven't tried that either but have read about it

I probably will get a vaporizer... one that is small I hope.

[asdjrocky]

139. Mine is about the size of a blender. But there are smaller ones.

This is one of the areas where I don't try to save money, the vaporizer cost me three hundred bucks, but I have seen them cheaper.

[intheflow]

131. Absolutely!

A very smooth smoke, and not inhaling burning paper as with a joint. It's too bad they're so expensive.

[Faux pas]

166. Been checking those out, any recommendations? PM me if

you'd like. Thanks.

4. A very cautious bunch, not one comment so far...

[Mojambo]

5. Used to.

Can't do it anymore. It just plays too heavily into my oblivion seeking issues.

Plus it fucks with my skin for some reason.

[rhiannon55]

12. What does it do to your skin?

I've been having some "skin issues" but it never occurred to me that weed could have anything to do with it...

[Mojambo]

16. My skin gets super oily when I smoke pot regularly. n/t

[JuniperLea]

18. I used to complain about oily skin...

Until I hit 50, and a dermatologist told me how great my skin was... virtually no wrinkles yet. The good doc said to thank my oil glands, because nothing you can buy will do the job as well.

[Mojambo]

24. Yeah, I've heard that

Unfortunately I'll probably still be single at 50.

It's hard to get dates when your face is a shiny, dripping mess of oil.

[Kolesar]

120. Try Aveda Botanical Kinetics Purifying Cleanser

I have been using it for a month
http://www.aveda.com/templates/products2/mpp.tmpl?ngextredir=1&CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY10976#
Aveda funds clean water activist programs. :loveya:

[WhiteTara]

144. but they also use laurel sulfates

and are not organic or natural as they say.
http://www.entrepreneur.com/tradejournals/article/154392320.html

snip
In the second complaint, a consumer with allergies and sensitive skin stated that he used Aveda products because they claimed to be all natural. He noted on the label that the product contained ingredients, such as, ammonium laurel sulfate and PEG 7-dimethicone.


"When the consumer contacted Aveda, the firm stated that all ingredients in their products are derived from plants, but the consumer's research showed that these ingredients to be chemicals, not plant derivatives."

The company responded that it makes no claims that their products are all natural. Bernard Perry, VP of quality assurance, was reached by telephone on May 5 for an update, but he stated that he could not comment on any internal matters involving Aveda.

[Kolesar]

160. Can you recommend an alternate?

The Aveda product *has to* be better than the benzoyl peroxide bar soap that I had been using. Milder, and won't bleach my clothing.

[CrispyQ]

265. I love Aubrey Organics products.

I've been using them for over 5 years. I have terribly dry skin & with daily use of their Rose Mosqueta toner, my dry skin is now silky smooth & many days I can go without moisturizer. And they have formulas for all skin types, Here's their website, but many health food stores also offer them.

Also, I have a friend with Rosacea & she's been using the Sea Buckthorn formula & her skin is clearing up. There are lots of reviews of their products, too.

:smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke:

[WhiteTara]

280. are you joking?

I'm always the straight banana for jokes, so I have to ask.

[Maraya1969]

232. There is this stuff called oil blotting paper that you can probably get in

the drug store. Or if you don't wear face makeup carry along some wipes and wipe your face several times a day.

Plus never use liquid makeup. Always powder.

[rhiannon55]

37. Oh. My skin has gotten strangely dry lately.

I had oily skin most of my life, but now at 58, it's getting dry and itchy in spots. Probably nothing to do with weed.

Yay. :smoke:

[alfredo]

135. Be thankful for oily skin, it keeps you looking young.

[Zodiak]

207. I agree

When I was younger, I had horrible acne because of all of the skin oils I would produce. Now that I am 38, I look like a teenager (still have acne, even, but much milder), but most of my age cohorts have wrinkles and bald patches.

so yeah....I started liking my oily skin once I hit my mid 30s.

8. Lol!

I guess it is a easy way to get a lot of recommends.

I posted the thread mainly out of curiosity.

:spray:

[debbierlus]

10. And, unrecommenders, knock it off

Don't skew the results by unrecommending!

[bobbolink]

58. That's the approved system. If you don't like it, I suggest you appeal to the owners.

[RaleighNCDUer]

108. The difference is, a rec in this case is not an 'approval', but a 'yes' vote -

and the opposite of the rec is to not rec, not to unrec.

[bobbolink]

201. That wasn't what I was referring to. I meant...this whole system of votes for and agin is APPROVED

People here still like the junior high popularity contests, with the accompanying bully crowd.

[RaleighNCDUer]

213. And what I'm saying is the rec/unrec is the wrong medium for a poll

because it WILL get skewed. Rec/unrec may or may not have its uses, but polling is NOT one of its uses.

[bobbolink]

216. Lobby it and get a lot of DUers to lobby the admins.

:puffpiece:

[piratefish08]

25. just a strong will and sheer discipline. i just fell off the wagon a few minutes ago,

but I am certain I will quit again tonight for at least 12 hours..........


after 28 years of practice, the discipline comes easy.

only a handful of boys tried to crash the party, but i got them early- and no budworm this year.
my best harvest so far, in quantity and quality- and it's all for me.

[SammyWinstonJack]

[proteus_lives]

175. Just mocking the choice of spokesperson.

If it's about weed, choose someone like Chong.

Hedberg seems a little dark and out of place on this thread.

[YOY]

103. I've never heard of a pothead dieing in a pool of his own vomit.

I've never heard of a pothead sucking people off in bathroom stalls "for a fix".

I've never heard of a pothead (just stoned and nothing else) causing a horrific traffic accident.

I've never heard of a pothead resisting arrest violently.

I have seen some lazy mother fuckers who need to cut back and get a better job...but it was hardly destroying society as we know it. I know some dudes and dudettes who don't smoke at all and need to stop slacking too.

[intheflow]

138. Please.

Unless you're Amish, you probably partake in the at least one of the more popular legal drugs: cigarettes, alcohol, and caffeine. The first two cause far more deaths per year than marijuana (which at last count caused ZERO deaths).

[jaysunb]

26. Only for the past 50 years...

but I may start vaporizing...:evilgrin:

[Betsy Ross]

36. I am very happy with my vaporizor

The problem is that I don't like to leave it out so I just grab my pipe for a quick hit. I end up smoking for a day or two and suffer for it. FWIW, I have a different reaction to vaporized than to smoked.

[dysfunctional press]

42. i've never been very satisfied about the vaporization...

until it's cheap enough to cook with on a consistent basis- i'll stick with smoking it one bong hit at a time.

[Romulox]

72. I agree. Vape is unsatisfying to me. nt

[Qutzupalotl]

148. Not all vaporizers are created equal.

The old dome style is quite inefficient, actually.

Also, it took me awhile to get used to the idea that coughing and carbon inhalation does not equal fun.

[Romulox]

151. I like tar. As bad as that sounds, I think that's the long and short of it.

Kind of like how I cannot eat a hamburger made with 4% ground beef. It's just too damn dry!

This one is supposed to be pretty decent for aromatherapy, but who knows... :shrug:

[abelenkpe]

162. I worry about emphazema

or worse lung cancer. All four of my grandparents, one aunt and two uncles have all taken that path. Will a vaporizer reduce the chance of that outcome?

[woofless]

177. I have emphysema, full blown, can't walk above a slow saunter

emphysema. I smoke good bud every day and it helps, not hurts. I have a vaporizer but it is something of a pain in the ass. I just take very, very small tokes from my pyrex pipe. Many tiny tokes add up to a good bong hit, and hey, I have all day.

P.S. The lung disease came from tobacco, not cannabis.

[abelenkpe]

188. O! So sorry

to hear you have emphysema. Glad to hear you are still able to enjoy cannabis tho.

I smoked cigarettes for less than ten years on and off, but when I moved to CA laziness and poverty helped me change my evil tobacco ways. All my relatives in VA still smoke cigarettes tho. I worry about them given our health history.

G, I hope you don't live in an area prone to fires.

[misanthrope]

187. If you have a family history of emphysema...

...you should talk to a doctor about being tested for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. It not only causes pulmonary problems but has been linked to liver damage as well.

If you have alpha-1, any inhaled gas can lead to permanent lung damage without regular infusion treatments.

[Qutzupalotl]

194. It should.

Vaporizers greatly reduce the amount of carcinogens entering the lungs. When operated properly, there should be little to no combusted material (black stuff) inhaled. Quitting altogether would be the healthiest choice, or cooking/eating, but short of that a vaporizer will do a lot less damage than smoking, and many people find the timing more convenient than eating. You'll get some plant resins in your lungs, but they can be brought back up because you're not also impairing the parts of your lungs that help move out foreign matter.

[Romulox]

211. There is no evidence that pot causes lung cancer. nt

[ChiciB1]

88. Dumb One Here... What's Vaporizing?? Should I Even Ask???

We have a lot of HUMIDITY here in Florida?????!!!!!

Maybe I should look it up.

[ChiciB1]

89. Oh, Just Saw The Link Below! And I Don't Think I'll Answer The

question, living in Florida gives me the "heebie-jeebies" even now in 2009! I remember when you could bet busted for just one joint! Don't know the law right now, but I bet it hasn't changed much!

[lark]

215. My 24 yrs. old son is on a year's probation

for a pipe with resins but no pot found in his car at 2am when someone else ran into him. Cops suck here. Of course, he shouldn't have left his pipe on the floor board for anyone to see, but it's still so stupid that he has to go thru this major hassle for almost no reason.

[ChiciB1]

241. I Know What You Mean... Went Through The Same Stuff With My Son...

It's about money as much as it is about MJ. They haul them into court, then make them pay those costs, plus costs for probation!

I've known how precarious the system has been for so long, but the "kids" don't really think how vicious they can be! Sorry to hear about your son, but I too know from experience!!!

[Chemisse]

273. I have been trying to figure out the same thing!

I guess I will find out when I get to the link, lol.

[MrMickeysMom]

51. I had no idea you could vaporize it...

Goes to show how much has changed over the years...

Why would humidification change it? That's odd.

[jonnyblitz]

54. several coffee shops in amsterdam even have them. my

brother-in-law paid some ungodly amount for a volcano shaped one. i guess he wasn't lying when he said he paid over $500.00 for his. :crazy:

http://www.authorizedvolcanodealer.com/

[jaysunb]

57. !00 bucks at the local tobacco store here in the L.A.

area and most everywhere else.
All the dispensaries sell for a little more or less.

Incredible results and savings. :)

[jonnyblitz]

60. my brother-in-law can afford it. I would never pay $500.00. I will

have to tell him "others" i have talked to only paid $100.00 for theirs.HAHAHAHA, he is such an asshole, but I digress...

and YES, the vaporizer result is nice, indeed. :o

[dysfunctional press]

78. "incredible results" ??

i've never found that to be the case.

i get MUCH better results with bongs or steamrollers.

[Qutzupalotl]

149. Were you using the old dome style?

There's a huge variation in results depending on design (and user training).

[dysfunctional press]

168. i've tried several different ones

and none of them are as effective as smoking.

[Qutzupalotl]

195. It can take up to two weeks for your body to adjust

to the new method. I guess it's remnants of smoke in your lungs that have to get moved out, but I dunno.

I don't really miss smoking at all, and now if I do smoke, I regret it.

[dysfunctional press]

198. to each their own, i suppose...

i prefer smoking. and it's not at all compareable to cigarette smoke, so it doesn't really concern me.

besides- it's kind of hard to take a vaporizer on the road, or elsewhere out-of-doors, so not being able to smoke at all would be a real drag to me...:shrug:

[OnionPatch]

63. My brother-in-law has one of those, too!

He swears it is the best vaporizer, hence the high price.

[lark]

208. Wow, you beat me

I do smoke marijuana. But I'll tell you something: I only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early midafternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . . But never at dusk. Well sometimes at dusk Too"

39. I don't care who knows - of course I do!

I will stand up for the legalization of marijuana any day! I had a friend who almost died of AIDS cause she couldn't eat and marijuana was the only thing that helped. Carl Sagan was a pot smoker. I'm not ashamed of it, I don't hide it - it's a hell of a lot better than alcohol or tobacco especially when cooked like in brownies or inhaled as a vapor through a vaporizer. :smoke: :hippie:

[spanone]

40. will you come to my home? oooops!

[27inCali]

41. one more voice for rationality concerning marijuana policy

let's legalize and tax it.

There's millions of dollars out there buried in the backyards of growers who just sit on the money because they are scared of the IRS tracking them down for spending too much. Let them claim it and pay taxes. The states will receive a big new source of income from the taxes, and all the "dirty" money will suddenly be usable for investment and spending which will feed into the greater economy.

let's admit it. Most normal people have smoked a little weed at some point. A lot of very smart and decent people do it and we waste a lot of time and money punishing people who's only offense is enjoying to smoke weed. It's just not American and in this economy it doesn't make fiscal sense.

[debbierlus]

53. It is worse then prohibition...

We now have home growers as the modern version of bootleggers.

[ChiciB1]

90. I Hear That It's Really A Big Deal these Days... Growing Your Own!

They should legalize it, they "for sure" aren't EVER gonna stop it! Why let other countries make ALL THE PROFIT??

Plus I know people who swear by it for pain, etc.! Went to San Fran last March and it was a real eye-opener... you could smell it everywhere!

[Soylent Brice]

97. HA!

[Odin2005]

92. I don't because I hate smoke and don't want bad interactions with my psych meds.

Also folks with Asperger's like myself tend to have odd reactions to psychoactive substances in general, caffeine calms me down and makes me sleepy, for example.

[ChiciB1]

94. I Have A Different Disease... But I Too Take Certain Meds, And What Makes

other's high, works in reverse for me. When I did smoke I could stay up til 3 or 4 in the morning!

Didn't find out why until I got diagnosed, but I have many friends who started way back when and have never stopped. And never will!

Plus, I'm weird about keeping my weight down and I could NEVER stop with the munchies!

[Odin2005]

96. Just to nitpick, but I don't consider my Asperger's to be a "disease".

:hi:

[ChiciB1]

152. Well, I Don't Know What Asperger's Is, And Perhaps OCD Isn't A Disease

either! I've ALWAYS wondered whether OCD is or not! Same thing happens to me when I drink beer! For some beer calms people down, but for me I can clean a house REALLY good when I drink beer!

I DO smoke at times and even told my doctor too, he didn't seem to think it was a problem, so "go figure"? I'm thinking he must be smoking too, he's a Boomer like me!

I find it "rare" these days finding people who DON'T smoke! When meeting new people, it only takes several times together before it comes up and almost all those I meet either smoke a lot or sparingly like me!

I have to confess though, I WOULD smoke more if it weren't for my OCD weight thing! My doctor tells me "just don't get on the scales" which I laughed OUT LOUD at! There have been times I've refused to take certain drugs he prescribes, especially the ones given for seratonin re-uptake! Not taking them right now and I'm doing okay.

There are some that I KNOW I need, but "doctor" doesn't know I'm not taking 2 that he's prescribed. I say, if I'm not out of control and things are going well, then why take them?? Many of them just slow down the metabolism and makes it harder to lose weight! I HATE them! If I reach 125, it's time to diet! And yes, I guess one could consider this an OCD problem, but one that I don't think I'll ever get over or ever will WANT to get over!

I'll have to look up Asperger's now!

[Odin2005]

226. Asperger's is the usual term for High-Fuctioning Autism

Named after the Austrian psychiatrist who worked with mostly high-functioning autistic kids in the 1940s. :hi:

[Forkboy]

99. For me it's just the opposite. It works better than any med I've ever been prescribed.

It works on every aspect of my being bipolar in a way that no med has ever done, and without the side effects like liver damage, pancreas damage, etc. It works on me being manic, anxious, nauseous (my thyroid meds are brutal in that area), it helps my appetite (which is usually nil due to the meds), etc.

It's funny how it effects people differently. You're wise to not do it if you think it'll make things worse.

[ChiciB1]

247. My Daughter Feels The Same Way... OCD Is Hereditary & She Has

aspects too. I think MOST of us do. But sometimes it gets more severe and can REALLY interfere with your life. There was a time when mine was pretty out of control. But I didn't know what IT was.

Took several different "cocktails" over the years and my weight even topped 150! That's when I decided to take control of "myself" and just went cold turkey! Not a good idea, but I got through it.

And it DOES depend on which strain of MJ too! I really do believe that certain types affect a person a certain way! There have been some that have been good for me, but it's the "munchies" that drive me CRAZY!!

I know a person who uses it for pain instead of soma or lortab and other types of pain meds! Swears by it.

[marylanddem]

95. Once in a great while, if it were legal would smoke more.

109. 4 O'clock in the afternoon, Friday... Most certainly I will within the next 45 minutes ... :-)

I just finished my final thesis to get my second bachelor degree ... When I started smoking as a teen my parents sent me to a phony counselor who told me " YOU WILL NOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING WHEN YOU KEEP ON SMOKING " ... I think about him every time I get offered a job.

Oh, and the best thing. Where I live, there isn't a single soul in jail for posession. I'm so unused to feeling like a criminal when smoking... I can only pitty those in the US who actually have to risk something when they do it...

[SkyDaddy7]

112. YES I smoke!

I have severe neuropathic pain from a spinal cord injury and smoking gives me 30-45min. of relief...However, I usually just smoke right before bedtime as it helps me fall asleep. Smoking during the day severely hampers my ability to read which is what I like doing to pass the time.

I live under a huge cloud of fear considering I live in the backward south where pot smokers are considered to be scum of the earth! I would not last long in jail considering I am a quad.

203. Hi.

Has pot gotten more potent over the years, from your experience? I heard that THC levels have more than tripled over the last few decades.

[lark]

251. God yes

I remember sitting around a room smoking 5-6 joints between 4 people. If I did that with the weed I have now (Dynomite) I'd be a total veg.

[Writer]

255. That's what I was wondering. Does increased THC make pot more addictive?

Or just more psychotropic?

156. I was a lite, passive smoker throughout college..

I didn't become a connoisseur until I met a buddy several years later who grew his own (not a drug dealer). It was an eye opener to discover strains with qualities other than couch-lock.

A few years later I realized that it was cannabis that was helping me alleviate basic stress, sleeplessness, minor pain and my chronic digestive issues. Since then I've smoked almost daily, but never during work hours and usually after 9pm.

Thankfully the state I choose to live in allows adults to use cannabis without fear of prison.

[SlingBlade]

157. I cannot tell a lie ....

I smoke the living hell out of the stuff, It's natures miracle bud.

Besides, In my experience, People who do not partake of this fruit of knowledge

158. I don't smoke it. I use it externally for muscle spasms.

It won't get you high unless you slather it all over your body.

But still, I use it and it is illegal.

[BBri]

163. It's better than drinking...

Safer too!

[slay]

178. It is indeed

Better, safer, you still have total control over yourself unlike alcohol, no hangovers, can't get addicted, people don't usually get in stupid fights while high, etc. :)

by employers. I don't think they are going to give up their power to test employees' urine, hair, blood, etc., now that they have that power.

I don't smoke because it's illegal. But if it were legalized, I still wouldn't.

200. I partake for medical reasons ...

I was really sick within a few months after leaving the service. Lots of chronic orthopedic pain and problems, constant sick to my stomach, a major surgery every year for five years and constantly stressed to the max. Wouldn't eat, lost 50 pounds. No help from the doctors. Was recommended to me by a friend. Put 10 pounds back on and feeling better. I don't get high like when I was in high school though. Like the pain meds, I just get relief.

Needs to be legalized. We are wasting tax money chasing cannabis users and locking them up or feeding municipal government cash cows with probated sentences and 'recovery' programs. (and taking away their votes) I stongly feel the erosion of our civil liberties began with the 'War on Drugs'.

[defendandprotect]

231. legalize now

free the political prisoners in our jails
What is wrong with this country that we think a personal decision like smoking weed should be a crime. A crime against who? I have a right to put what ever I want in my body. Prohibition on alcohol took a constitutional amendment what is the difference. Drug laws are totally unconstitutional.

[Phlem]

233. Saved me from my PTSD

I grew up in a totally abusive family with an alcoholic, non schooled, tech sergeant, who put me through boot camp starting @ 3 till I moved out. Oh and he was my step dad cause my real father wanted her to have an abortion and wanted nothing to do with me according to my biological clueless Roman Catholic mother.

If I hadn't started smoking it early (around 5th grade), I'd have lost my mind cause even after all the abuse, just listening to these ignorant country fucks talk was pushing me over the edge. I seriously experienced a loss of reality a few times and started abusing myself.

42 years later my conservative asshole of a father in law officially triggers a PTSD episode in me. I'm through counselors and am officially on Prozac and a sleeping aid yet the one thing that helped me get through it all is illegal?

Anyone who claims to know what's best for me and my well being and makes that into law can officially fuck the hell off.

I swear the next conservative bible thumping asswipe that talkes to me like he/she know's what's best for me is going to get the riot act with friggin exclamation point at the end.

As if.

256. I'm toying with the idea.

A neurologist and his psychologist wife had a big pot party for the entire medical and surgical staff at my ex-husband's hospital in Toronto when I was in my early forties (I am 71 now) I didn't feel euphoric when I smoked it. Just wondered why the person sitting beside me was waiting half an hour for me to finish a simple sentence. Then driving home I thought the radiologist neighbour at the wheel was going 100 mph and was screaming at him to slow down before he killed us. When I got into the house I started to watch Titanic (the old black and white one) on TV and thought all the people in steerage were coming to kill me. I barricaded the bedroom door and was terrified for hours.

My ex-husband was fearful of attending the function and went north to our cottage with the children and the dog. (The other staff members had a life-sized photo of him at the event just so's he would be in all the pictures.)

The only other occasion I tried it was at Canadian Thanksgiving week-end on our island at Temagami. I have seen all the pictures so I know I was there but don't recall much. Most likely because I am an alcoholic and was blacked out from alcohol. My ex-husband did not smoke pot but stood guard running all over the island watching for Mounties or cops. He thought they might come by water or by air. Apparently he didn't need to smoke pot to get paranoid. The pumpkin pie was good. Lots of rum and maple syrup. I don't remember the turkey or the pot.

We often had hash brownies at other medical parties and that didn't seem to cause paranoia.

I quit drinking years ago. My family has a terrible history of alcoholism and depression. My youngest daughter and her bf both inherited alcohol gene and chose to smoke pot instead of drinking. No problems. It's so stupid they don't make it legal.

I could get it any time now as I live in pot country and it just grows naturally all over the place, farmers fields and so on. (Tee hee!) But what's the point if I get paranoid?

I will definitely use it if my arthritis gets bad. No way do I trust pain meds doctors prescribe. (Several doctors prescribed VIOXX a few years back when I had hip replacement.)

Since it grows so freely everywhere and it's harvest time I wonder if I should see if it still makes me paranoid.

Who can advise?

282. It was fun until my husband got addicted and then arrested

It was traumatic for us. They raided our house with a squandron of police and then put a front page article in the paper, despite that all they found was a small amount of pot. To avoid possible prision time and a possible investigation into all of his friends, my husband pleaded no contest to a felony. That was 2 years ago. He is still on probation. The only good thing is that he quit cold turkey because of it where as before it was difficult for him to go for more than a few hours without it.
I do think that, ironically, my husband wouldn't have become addicted if it had been legal.
