Be a lot more critical of "expert" opinions. Including legal and medical. I have some smart friends who got stoned now and then. They seem to have ended up happier. Even the one who was nearly lost to it, wholesale. (And who's still struggling, but hopefully on the upside...) At least she lived her life. Me? Too scared by the rhetoric. Too anxious from the bullying. Ultimately, a mountain of regrets. As they say, better to have really lived, briefly, than to have suffered long. Go out and live. And, those who seek to scare you -- if you look closely and eventually gain some perspective, it turns out to be for their benefit. Fuck them. Yeah, and do what you fucking want. Just realize that it's not always how you make a living. Sometimes, you find a way to make a living, so that you can then do what you want in your free time. P.S. Yes, this is career advice. As in, make sure it's your career. And then, make the most of it. Whether it's one thing, or a dozen. Cheers
