Wasn't one of you going to write a book about all your adventures in that beach town back in the day? I'm still waiting for that so I can read it. I should've wasted some time like you guys did - instead I was very serious and goal-oriented and went right into law school and then started my...

But Al, the vast majority of cannabis consumed in this country is black market, illegal weed. In California the percentage of cannabis that is black market is between 80 to 90%, which means doctors and Big Pharma are NOT profiting in the same way as the drugs with fancy names. So the Big Money...

Yep, I hear you! Not having answers and having to wait to get them is sooooo difficult. I went through many sleepless nights (and a lot of Ativan) when I was in diagnostic limbo, so I totally empathize with you. Eventually, even though my diagnosis was the worst one, my mental state settled...
