Hi. I want to say that I agree with legalising pot, not just for the medicinal aspects but also because of all of the other things that can be done with it (in the form of hemp) and its economic potential for farmers in this country. (The cotton and tobacco industries also played large roles in the criminalization of maijuana in one way or another, although that subject can be saved for a new post). The reason that I wanted to write though is because in a way I disagree with the statement that using anti-depressents is non-crunchy. This is not a flame, so please don't be offended. I agree that using them is not the crunciest thing in the world to do but I think that for some people it is a matter of life and death. My sister for example, has to be on anti-depressents. She is a master herbalist and tried every natual remedy that she could think of- including weed, which only depresses her more. Anti-depressents saved her from doing something to herself that would have destroyed our family. I think that besides her taking the pills, she is about the crunciest person I know....not that there is a contest going on or anything to see who is the crunchiest person.....
Again, I am not trying to flame anyone, I am just being my loud-mouthed self......but I really hope this list thing is has not turned us into a bunch of show and tellers to see who can be the crunchiest of the crunch! Being "crunchy" means different things to different people and I think the best thing that we can do is to learn from each other that it is okay and desireable to have different views about our lifestyles as long as the semi=crunchy, the super-crunchy, the
almost crunchy, the wanna-be crunchy and all of the other labels we come up with for ourselves and each other, are accepted within the forum, because in my mind that is the crunchy way.
