I'll be the starting time to admit that a large function of my 20s was spent in a euphoric haze brought on by fairly regular pot smoking.

I loved the stuff — and it certainly loved me.

I don't experience I e'er had a "problem" with it, merely I did feel a potent pull to have it in my life. Sure, I got side-tracked sometimes with philosophical discoveries, but I was still making progress towards my goals.

I got my degree, and worked finer in my field. I never went to school or piece of work while stoned. That said, I certainly used pot on my own fourth dimension. Cannabis allowed me to chill and appreciate the simple moments of my non-so-hectic (though I thought it was) twenty-something life.

A loftier from weed was sort of similar a pair of rose-colored glasses and a shoulder rub, to me. Information technology made everything feel just a little bit lighter.

Fast frontwards 15 years, throw in three kids, a business firm, a husband, and some office-time writing, and, well… in that location's no time or space for my erstwhile pot-smoking ways. In fact, I've had a lonely bag of weed (given to me by a friend) sitting in the dorsum corner of our junk drawer for over two years.

Two years! Back in the day, that shit wouldn't have lasted two days.

Obviously, finding the right time for "Mummy to become high" is no piece of cake feat. Especially since I have a tween who stays up almost as late as we do now.
