bump...if you've not seen it

 

I somehow stumbled upon this thread and thought it worth bringing up again.  I especially liked the article in the original post as well as the link to the antiquecannabisbook

For someone to describe the effects of marijuana like they did in that article (op) it must have been a second hand accounting. Reads like they were too scared to even try it but they did ask someone about it.

  What makes this intoxication the more seductive is that no headache
or heartache follows recovery.  It's only bad consequences are strong
tendencies to "set 'em up again"
