I, like ledsam, have the fortune of living on of the most "pot renowned" cities in the world-Vancouver-so it's fairly accessible to us around here.
I used to be very opposed to the idea of smoking pot...then I met someone very special who opened my uptight mind to not only trying weed, but into trying to think a different way. That's what bud does. It creates new emotions, new opinions, and ultimately a new way of life...I probably sound like some stoner on a rant, so I think I'll leave it to my good friend (I wish) Ben Harper who words it perfectly:
"Herb the gift from the earth
And what’s from the earth
Is of the greatest worth
So before you knock it try it first
You’ll see it’s a blessing
And not a curse
If you don’t like my fire
Then don’t come around
Cause I’m gonna burn one down
Yes I’m gonna burn one down"
BC bud, you're alright with me
