So, it's 420

 Hello, and thanks for taking time to read my blogs :)

Today is 4/20, the weed smokers holiday. While I do not do it, I'm sure there are plenty of happy people sharing their interest. Last year they legalized Medical Marijuana here in my state, and are still setting up the proper infrastructure. It's worth considering at this point, but there are other factors involved. They say that if you are prescribed Med MJ, they also check to see if you own firearms. Apparently they think anyone that smokes MJ will go on a shooting spree, which it totally false. While I do own them for home protection, I have no intention whatsoever of carrying them out to a protest, or to show a potential threat. I don't do protests either, but that's beside the point. I don't belong to any group or label. I am simply me.

 I have some that I am Stewarding for relatives because they trust me and my decisions, and they are locked up in a safe. I also built my own AR15 5.56 NATO piece by piece, legally from high quality parts. The lower receiver is registered with the FBI/BATF, and I have no criminal record. People have asked me why I own one, when a simple revolver/pistol would do. As they teach you in the military, as well as law enforcement, the strategy of +1 applies. This means you should have the ability to repel an enemy with a +1 force of firearm. With all the crazies running around with these things, it is wise to also have one. I have no plans on playing Rambo. I have a home, and my Mother to also protect.

But back to the weed thing. If it is ever legalized for recreational use, I would have to go with edibles. Firstly, there is no smoking involved, as my Mother has allergies. In my past experiences, it was calming and inspirational. I was 200% into music and chillin out. I'm sure I would have a whole new area of music to explore. I would also choose to be responsible with my usage. No driving, no power tools, no gun fun. Just guitar, music, gaming, and my book research. I'm a laid back kind of person, and weed only made me even more laid back. I don't touch it now because it is still illegal, and I do follow the rules of the law. Haven't had any in over a decade. I'm very well disciplined in as many ways. My willpower is my kung fu, and it is strong ☺️

I am also a very rational thinker. I'm not negative or positive. I am a realist, and reality is both elements. I think in benevolent ways. How would it be solved where both sides can be satisfied with the result? I've learned a long long time ago, that arguing is not the answer. A dialogue is the answer. Where people can discuss things without yelling or becoming defensive. 

Oh well, that's enough for this blog. It's late and I need sleep. Good night/Day to you 💜
