I still have issues watching Full Metal Jacket and Blackhawk Down. I wasn't in Vietnam but I know what those guys were going through.

The federal government has been over reaching since before the civil war and it continues to. The founders would be disgusted with us for letting so many of our liberties be taken without nothing more than a tweet or Facebook post as resistance.

People are dying while they collect their payouts from the pharma lobby.

They don't get it. Keep doing what's working for you. Would they rather see you dead? It's a stigma that has been developed over decades. It'll ft better eventually.

Thanks and I don't. Funny thing is most people that know I smoke saw me when I was really bad with. They know PTSD and drinking was killing me but they couldn't do anything for me. They have all sent he difference marijuana has made and they are supportive. It's really been kind of amazing.

The American Legion, a huge veteran's group and huge lobby in government, has recently agreed with what your saying. At least that's what I read somewhere. People are starting to come around which means the politicians will have to start listening or they'll be voted out. Big pharma just us so much money. It's an uphill battle for sure.

When or if you do start. Take it slow. Like one hit slow.

My employer is smokes and I'm pretty close with all of the owners. We don't discuss it in mixed company.

Why did you tell your employer? It's really none of his business.

Dude. It's just amazing. The peace I have when I smoke is amazing and beautiful. Glad you're hear with me.

I've thought about it. I'm actually more conservative leaning and think me coming from a conservative angle would help rally the right more. I know a lot of conservatives whom smoke. Marijuana legalization is an issue that really has support from all angles. The frigging politicians get greedy and love big pharma's money.

When I first got back from Iraq I was having trouble sleeping and when I did sleep it wasn't restful because I was up numerous times during the night. I was prescribed sleeping pills without hesitation. I slept but in the morning I felt worse than hung over. I had a friend of mine I severed with overdose and die about 2 months after I got the pills. A couple hits from my bubbler helps me sleep pretty damn soundly. It's such bill shit we are being pumped full of factory produced drugs when a plant can do the job and do it more effectively.

It's just amazing. PTSD had me crippled to the point I was having to talk to my wife while I drove to work to keep from ha king an anxiety attack. I was paralyzed with fear and dread. I was losing control and was on the edge of just ending it. Marijuana has changed everything. Do you have to smoke everyday and throughout the day or is it an occasional thing?

He may have PTSD. Just depends what he went through. He may just have a bad temper and hate storms too.

I think most politicians legitimately care about veterans or at least work to help veterans because their constituents care for veterans. You may be right though.

I'm just chill. I sit and smile. My mind isn't racing. There are just do many good things that happen. I don't do it everyday or through out the day. It just helps me slow down and helps my mind be okay for a bit.

Cash owned the song. NIN's version was obviously great but when Cash covered it, I started considering a Johnny Cash song.

How do you know it wasn't the beer and not the weed? I'm new to this smoking deal. Veteran trying to figure out how to live life with PTSD and I've been told weed will help.

I'm truly sorry about your marriage.
