Must be a young person who did not witness the rioting and injustice that was so rampant in the 1960's. Things were going to heck rather quickly then also. We never did overcome the turmoil and while it wanders back and forth with victims, it never went away and now it is coming to the head many thought would happen with Nixon.
We dodged a bullet with Nixon, his cabinet would not obey, Trump has a different cabinet, we shall see.

While this fits the old fart definition it does not really concern growing marijuana. Possibly the higher rate of consumption is connected to the higher perception of languishing?

Because the satisfaction that comes from working with one's hands was considered immaterial in most professions, and America outsourced its manufacturing.

Comparing life in the '60's in the US, vs. the 21st century - No Comparison.

What we have now is sort of like the Great Depression with iPods.


Part of that is related to the Federal Reserve that someone mentioned. And what is sometimes called "Management of Perceptions" economics (MOPE).

The so-called "Strong Dollar Policy", for example. The US plays all sorts of fancy games in world currency markets.

But does not ignore equity markets, so we have what is called informally "Plunge Protection Team", and formally "Working Market Assets Group" or something like that.


Reality in the '60's was more real.

Now it is more, manufactured - a lot more like the movie the Matrix, except people's reality is wired in through their eyes & ears as they stay attached to the tiny supercomputers that they call a 'telephone'.

I have given half or more of every harvest away free to folks I feel need it. This has been going on since 2004.

I think maybe I could have afforded a car, or at least plumbing if I sold the whole two pounds a month instead of 9 or 10 ounces. I make expenses and food, what else do I need?

The world is larger than a bumper sticker and a lone store owner. I am a hermit now by choice for reasons your post leads me to believe you would not understand.

If my health gets too good then my mind will go first, and with me being loosely wrapped to begin with...a short period of languishing is desired more than an overly long life.

My youngest daughter got the short straw and sees to it I lack no vitals. Living 12 miles north of town without water or a car makes her job difficult. She honestly does not mind while her significant other finds an unlimited supply of marijuana very much to his liking.

Very low stress, all luxuries come with the price of built in worry I will not pay.
Except for the internet coming in on the old phone line.
This connection allows my lifestyle, heck, even a hermit needs some connection to his tribe.
For example:
Yesterday my son sent a facebook photo of my week old grandson. I am now officially good to go, all is right with the world.

Speaking of photos, I was in the bud room taking pictures of the new Vanilla Kush plant when the lights went out.
So I took a photo of the same bud in Far Red, if you look close you can kinda see the outline. In person it is much brighter and shines right through the leaves.
The Far Red cancels any light leaks that occur as I open the door to leave, just one of the benefits.
