LOL, you must be under 40 then. Life starts at 40! They were some of the best years, so far.

Funny, as good as I am with remembering other things, I've never been good at dates either. Like you I remember the big ones, but I've got to think hard to remember my wedding anniversary. :dunno:

Personally I think a whole lot of us stoners smoke pot because we WANT to forget, if only for a little while. We want to forget the stack of bills that need to get paid. We want to forget the stress at work and the boss that is a total jerk. We want to forget about the endless wars ever promising to erupt into "the big one". And we want to forget that our fragile planet is being beaten to death by money-hungry jerks armed with Round-up and another round of GMO crap crops.


I think it's entirely possible that our brains may actually NEED the little vacation from reality that we regularly give our synaptic connections when we partake of the lovely herb.


I am firmly convinces that smoking marijuana is indeed a form of escapism, whether we are trying to escape from chronic pain or trying to escape from a painfully chronic social system that has clearly ceased to work for a very large number of people.
