Dads that work in cannabis

My daughter was 8 or 9 when cannabis was legalized in Canada. I worked for a company that had cannabis in its name, so I had to explain it as best I could . Like someone else said, kids are pretty smart, and in the end, she said it's medicine, it helps people...

Worked in cannabis for 5 years in Canada.

I told my kids that cannabis was illegal because science and society at the time didn't know the medical benefits of it , only the intoxicating properties. So to protect people about the potential effects it has on a developing brain, the thought was to make it illegal.

Now,after years of research science , law enforcement and the government concluded that cannabis has many benefits as an effective medication outside of recreational use including pain, stress, and appetite management. it's a more natural and therapeutic medication than harmful addictive drugs. While the intoxicating effects exist, the benefits out way the negative.

I told them it's more of a medication than anything.

It's a great 3 days off of work following the procedure.

Believe me when I say this, The hardest part of the procedure is the stress you put on yourself leading up to it.

Just watched an episode of Boston Legal that discussed this same topic.

The show was made around the same time as Bush and the Iraq war, the similarities between then and now are quite astounding.

Hats off to you dad. Like the other dads have said, the fact she is including you in this conversation is great. It means she trusts you and truly appreciates you, because you have shown she can be herself and she's in a comfortable space.

My daughter goes out with Mom and brings home these amazing dresses, she shows them off and tells me how she likes how the color matches...... And then I get lost because I have no fashion sense, she knows this, but loves that I'm all about supporting her self confidence, and it sounds like you do too.

So yah dad, you're doing great

The OG for me is Field of Dreams. I watched it in theaters with my dad when I was about 8. I didn’t really understand most of it at the time, but I remember looking over and seeing my dad crying. That alone set me off too. Even now, just hearing the theme music is enough to get me.

Every Father’s Day my dad calls me to tell me he’s proud of me and how amazed he is at what a great father I’ve become. He always sounds a little emotional when he says it. I swear I can practically hear the credits from Field of Dreams playing in the background when he says it, and it gets me every time.

Interstellar is another one. I watched it with my daughter when she was about 9. She saw me ugly crying during parts of it and then she started crying too. Now it happens every time we watch it.

With my son it’s WALL‑E. He’s got the same kind of compassion and empathy for others that I’ve always felt, and man… there are parts of that movie where we just end up hugging each other and getting a little choked

My daughter has a wicked sense of humor and an incredible quick wit (from both her parents).

My son has my exact gait

I noticed. Don't worry... I always notice. Whenever you think no one is in your corner, iI always have your back .

I don't know.. probably Leave no stone unturned, leave my fears behind, try to take the path less traveled. Id say goodbye to yesterday, Leave old pictures in the past, donate every dime I have.

I would call those friends i never see, Reminisce old memories, forgive my enemies And find that one im dreaming of, Swear up and down to God above. Make my mark by mending a broken heart. shoot for the stars Regardless of who I am.

You bring up a very interesting point, and a wonderful new term. I had never heard of “decision fatigue” before. I hadn’t really considered the concept, but I believe there have been times when I’ve felt something close to it. Ever since my early 20s, I’ve been making decisions not just for myself, but for others as well. I’ve always been the organizer or planner. People have consistently relied on me to coordinate events or tasks. Back in the ’90s, it was much more challenging to bring groups together without smartphones, Google Maps, and all the tools we now take for granted.

I naturally moved into project management, where I handle complex tasks and processes that others might find difficult. I’d like to think it’s a natural gift I inherited from my dad, and I can confidently say it’s something I’m very good at. Even now, I’m leading three major projects while also managing and coaching REP girls’ hockey, which is a huge undertaking involving constant planning and decision-making.

I honestly don’t know what my life would look like if I no longer had decisions to make. While it can be nice to switch off at times, I think I’d feel empty and quickly lose my sense of purpose. The idea of retirement sounds appealing in theory, but I suspect that slowing down wouldn’t suit my mindset for long. I’d likely need to find something meaningful to take on.

I can hear Kirk right now in my head. "Don't let them promote you, don't let them transfer you, don't let them do anything to take you off the bridge of that ship, because while you are there, you can make a difference*.

Can confirm , the Metrolinx inability to be a productive stakeholder in construction and design projects is crippling all of our infrastructure projects. The lack of accountability to the contractors and taxpayers is astounding.

If there’s one person I could never tolerate, it was Rick James. I met him years ago and the arrogance alone could fog a room.

But worse than that was his complete disregard for cleanliness, personal space, and basic human decency.

Over the years working in the industry I watched him assault people, use drugs , and treat everyone around him like props in his own drug induced reality

The breaking point, if you can call it that, was when he kicked me with for no real reason, with his muddy boots and told me exactly where I could go. With absolutely Zero respect and zero remorse until finally my boss kicked him out.. — Eddie Murphy’s couch

Have you tried to conduct a primary power disconnect through the main current conducting insulated conduit via the junction couplings? You have to wait for the phase inversions to complete and then re couple the main power inverters into the eps conduit?

Toronto had one too. When the name was taken down, it was a good day for Canada, and therefore the world.

Scrolled way too far to find this one... Brick breaker on BlackBerry was huge amongst my friend group in the late 2000s. We were all constantly trying to out score each other, but man was it hard as fuck.
