Same. All my good college buddies that smoked weed are successful with families and kids. They all started young. I remember when weed switched to more potent variety in the 90s, you just have to smoke less to get the same effect, like beer

I don't think police really care what happens after the arrest most of the time, unless it was someone they feel wronged them. I could be wrong. Point being, letting the guy get off, the police will just blame the lawyers and not thems

That will only work if they prosecute the detectives for falsifying information on a warrant application, which they won't. The really scary part is how many innocent people could have been jailed because of sloppiness that wasn't

I hear you, but it's not other people's job to deal with your insecurities. You have to fake it until you make it, to use a cliche. Be mindful when your brain starts being unfairly critical, pause and think, "hey wait a minut

I second this. Everyone should strive to be somewhat physically fit, dress well and eat well. It's a huge psychological boost. Like Deon used to say, "look good, feel good, play good." Walking 30 minutes a day in the outdoors

When you live in a rural area, you're way more isolated. Remember when the lockdowns were finally over and you were happy to just be able to interact with people again, even if you were an introvert like me? It's kinda like that.
