Oct 9

I drove stoned one time, when I took my Mother-in-Law to the hospital in the middle of the night. It was about 3AM, no cars were on the road, no people were out, but I still kick myself for doing that, even though it was an emergency.

Hell, I'm even paranoid about smoking a joint in my back yard, because one of my neighbors, who I am very close to, is constantly complaining that the whole street smells like weed when she walks her dogs. Literally everyone in my block smokes weed openly, except for this neighbor.
