his story of salvation from alcoholism through cannabis and his cannabis art.
What we got was that, and oh so much more.

Before you get all worked up about what I say in this episode, pay attention to where I say "maybe I have got it all wrong? Enlighten me!"
I was just sitting in the garage the other day after doing some yard work listening to the birds chirping in the spring sun, and I was thinking about how we arrived where we are today politically in the USA. This is an area where I have spent the better part of my life in constant study, so I have a little insight on the subject, even if most of what I have to say is only my opinion.
The whole subject is quite intriguing to me so I thought I would share my thoughts in hopes I might start the conversation.
If you know someone, or you yourself have some input on this subject and would like to join the conversation, hit me up at grisoliac@yahoo.com or at GrampsPlace.net and lets talk about it!
