The Herb Problem in Colorado


Today I am still thankful that marijuana is legal in Colorado despite the challenges it poses.

The only reason I fought for legal weed was my irritation with civil forfeiture laws.

I was disgusted when I heard of a little old lady losing her home because her grandson was found with a doobie.

I don't smoke.

I never have.

It's a good thing, too.

I'm highly allergic to hemp and cannabis.

I thought hemp was like wool - itchy!

Well....it turns out I'm allergic to wool, too.

*****

I decided that I wanted fresher herbs for my tea.

I want fresh organic mistletoe leaves.

I'd like fresher slippery elm bark and sheep sorrel too.

I think I bought the ingredients when a friend of mine came down with cancer in 2004.

He died within days.

I am having a hard time finding the ingredients locally, so I decided to conduct a Google search.

All I can find are recreational pot stores in my area!

Oh my goodness - there is more than one medicinal herb in this gosh-forsaken town!

Besides.....one doesn't have to take a substance classified as an illegal drug by the feds to have fun.

If you want an adventure, drink mugwort tea.

That stuff is better than acid.

Okay....don't do that.

It could kill you or give you vertigo.

The hallucinations are insane, though.

Take care of you and don't waste your life away doing drugs.

You'll miss too much.

Love ya lots,

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Recognizing Psychological Abuse

Today I am thankful that I recognize relationship abuse.   I'm still sad. I thought Steve would be different.  For all the talk about anarchy and freedom, it simply didn't exist in our relationship.  I blamed the fact that I couldn't get my ex-husband to move on.  I blamed myself. It doesn't matter.  It is weird having my ex-husband explain to me how he took control of our relationship years ago.  Yes, he says that he knows what he did.  Yes, he said most men know the games they play.  Yes, most men do it for control. That is validating.  It's painful.  It's validating.  I know what my problems are.  I always do my best to see the best in other people.  I know that no one is perfect and that everyone makes mistakes.  My issue?  Well, I am too forgiving and I feel badly when I break up with someone for hurting me.  I couldn't take it anymore.  I couldn't.  I'm st...

Covid (Edited)

Today I am thankful for unorganized conspiracies: It makes it easier to identify them. Politicians are going to label anyone calling bullshit on the Covid lockdowns a Conspiracy Theorist.   I have a saying; " Conspiracies happen all the time; it's only a theory until it's proven."  This one is easy to prove.  It's obvious that the powers that be threw a lot of shit at a wall to see what would stick.  They're trying to inundate us with useless information and financial pressure to wear us down. That doesn't work on the indominable American spirit. ***** Let's work backwards. The CDC is now lumping flu, pneumonia and Covid19 deaths in one number.  Get this....the numbers have been declining for the past 11 weeks! https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html We are now below pandemic levels. Tell me why Governor Polis and his merry band of naked Democrat Emperors are pushing masks and pushing more lo...
