"When you smoke herb it reveals you to yourself."

Tryin’ to remain sober,

Haven’t drank in 15 years,

I still of course get high,

As I have GOT to have one vice,

Otherwise to the world I could never be nice…

 

I don’t do so as often as some may think,

It really does get boring, as I felt with the drink,

Sometimes I wonder if maybe I do really need a shrink,

Oh what the heck does it matter if I live my life a little out of sync…

 

As I don’t drink, I don’t do so when I drive,

Even when I get a buzz, I don’t either,

Worrying that I won’t arrive alive,

So hangin’ one on is not something I for strive,

Actually now I just want to from day to day survive…

Sounds like you don't over do or abuse and I think if I could smoke grass today without wanting to also smoke tobacco I would probably do so. Open and honest write and love the cartoon.

'Tis better to hang one on,
than to hang one off -
A puff-puff here,
A puff-puff there,
Go hang one on -
And never ever Scoff!

Peace - Tom.

You think far too much Jersey, just smoke and enjoy, relish in the thought that you are smoking, if you really have to think, and think how as poor critters have to live without it, because you are not sharing. Happy thoughts! Jasmin Horst
