He smoked pot and that was about it at that time. He mainly stay cleaned legally.

My great uncle has Parkinson's. His dopamine meds make him hallucinate.
He was an electrical engineer. Very smart. Grew his own pot. Probably still smokes. Weed works wonders for many things.
Responsible use of drugs is good. Just people have the wrong view about drugs and addiction. I'm gonna read a book about addiction - it's the guy that was speaking in the post I made on FB.
Eventually psychedelics will be legal and we'll be like Portugal.. theres no crack houses there I don't think =]
