THIS IS ALL HYPOTHETICAL!
Say you knew a lady for your ENTIRE life, even called her "Aunty" for 40 some years, we'll call her "Jane". Jane now 80 something, is a frail diminished women, she's had tumors, and strokes, and cancer. Her spouse, we'll call him Richard (cuz we can't use the name dicck), a veteran, has non Hodgkin lymphoma, been through three rounds of chemo therapy and radiation. Richard takes fistfuls of medications every day. Now, Richard used to indulge in some recreational marijuana smoking, back in the day (think of him as the grown up at Woodstock). Richard (and his Dr) agree that smoking or eating marijuana would greatly help him, with weight gain, appetite stimulant etc. It's just not legal where Jane and Richard live.
WOULD YOU assist in obtaining marijuana for these senior citizens?
hypothetically, I mean....

Hi Jodilynn,
Hypothetically I would help this person or any other in the same or similar circumstances out of compassion. Around where I lived before I know of a few place that grow their own "medicine" and it has helped them to survive and without all the pain. Medicine can come in other forms love, compassion, helping the other person out, taking them out if they are able to take and distract their minds from what they have. Conventional medicine is not the be all and end all for every illness. Medicine wise I think they have a right to take what they need hypothetically speaking of course.

It's illegal here.......I have my own life to worry about.....not that I don't care about others...but if they were serious then maybe their doctor could hook them up......or if asking around and getting a name would help maybe....but I doubt it....I stick really close to the rules....my number one rule is to go through my life without spending any time in jail.

I used to help my grandma make cookies, and I got to eat some of those cookies...........was that mean?............just sayin'.
Take a large box, prop the box up with a large stick, tie a long string around the stick, take the other end of the string into your hiding place in some nearby shrubbery, now place an open bag of Nacho Cheese Dorritos and a VHS tape of Beavis and Butthead behind the stick under the box.
When the stoner goes in to claim his reward, PULL THE STRING!
Wallah! Easy peazy lemon squeezy!

That is actually a really hard one to say. I don't know if I would or not. I do know there are other herbs that can be used to help upset stomach and even increase appetites that are perfectly legal. So I think I would exhaust all of those avenues first before I went hunting down the first stoner I saw. LOL

I am not actually sure how you would. I say twinkies hanging off my car through the back side of a college campus would draw them out really nicely. :D
