A nice, elderly preacher counseled me before my wedding (an elopement of course). He came in with wide eyes because my husband had told him about my parents. He said, “I heard your parents raised you on a Christian pot grow commune in the mountains. You should write a book. I would read it.”

Thank you, I didn’t think of Al-Anon. I’m going to our next local meeting. <3

My parents are back-to-the-land shotgun hippies with low paying blue collar jobs. They raised me in a culty repressive Evangelical church. There was a whole lot of wrong going on and I rebelled against it by doing the opposite of what they wanted.

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing. I hadn’t spoken to my sister for several months and didn’t see either of them over the holidays. It was blissful and feels like the right thing to do. Thank you.

You are fat shaming right now, liar. Fuck off.

Nah. Undeniably David Koresh. 

THANK YOU. My first thoughts: “Do the Creep” and “that man is looking to start a murder cult and this is the picture they will run on the cover of TIME when his followers commit mass suicide”

Absolutely! There are a ton of confounding variables when it comes to health outcomes. Thank you for adding that, and the ACEs link!

One more thought, just on the subject in general. When society decides that the pot itself causes the behavioral issues, it unintentionally lets contributing parental behavior off the hook. If a child has impairments, and they are attributed to the chemical effects of mom’s drug use on the child’s brain, it is easy to…

With love and respect:

Based on your sample of anecdotal observations? I generally like you and your comments, but you are in over your head on this one. Sincerely, a professional social scientist.

THIS. I don’t give a shit if she uses a walker and gets SNAP benefits. She’s well enough to do the crime, and she should do the time.

I had a dentist named Omey. As in, “you now Omey $500"

Why? Because they are all even worse, and if Pumpkin Spice Berlusconi doesn’t back off he will draw attention to their bunga bunga parties. 

Eta: This is the most recent groping I have experienced.
