Well, this took place in NY State, but the same thing likely would have happened in Canada. There was a time a few years ago when our then Canadian Federal Liberal gov't was going to make pot possession more or less like getting a parking ticket, if within fairly small quantities. But, thanks to the new Federal Conservative F***heads (pardon my French..;-) , that got tossed out the window.You know, even for recreation, heck, people go out and get all boozed up and kill their liver! Why not get all stoned or whacked on mushrooms if done responsibly? I know it sounds odd, but the analogy really is true. And, when I went through my stages of grieving, I used a lot of narcotics. Mostly painkillers, and I 'faked' my pain to the doctors, but I was in an emotional Hell that hurt like no other hurt, and it helped. So, heck, I dont know what I am trying to say, lol. I'd say to the moralist accusers out there, "Take a walk in my shoes and see how you feel." (Not you TC...I know you are the most understanding of people...:-)
Anyhow....
