#also i am very aware that cigarettes and tobacco in general are very bad for you and that the industry itself is inherently malicious.

[cringecompilationin480p]

tf2 mercs and the smokes i think they would pick up from a gas station. source: i work at a gas station

reasonings below the cut:

scout: i chose newport red shorts for him because i feel like he would think menthol is for losers. newports to me are a very. basic cigarette. the layman's cig. i also find newports, especially red newports to be a little nasty lol. also i dont see him as much of a cigarette smoker but i do think he smokes every once in a while, esp if hes really stressed out or had a bad match. his 1 box will last him a few months. after a while i think he would switch to newport gold shorts, as theyre lighter.

soldier: i know theres a lot of art of soldier smoking cigars, esp blue soldier. while i don't disagree with that notion, i dont think hes coming into a convenience store and picking up a pack of cigarillos. i went with lucky strike red shorts because theyre an All American cigarette and have been around forever. theyre on the cheaper side as well and he smokes them in Emesis Blue. i didn't go with american spirits because theyre advertised as an "organic" cigarette, and i feel that he would find that to be pretentious and an overall turn off. also american spirits are more expensive.

pyro: i dont think pyro is a tobacco smoker. if the pyro is smoking anything its going to be weed wrapped in a banana backwoods. banana is one of the more strange flavors backwoods has, and i feel like they would go for something on the fruitier side. i also chose backwoods because backwoods fucking rule and the shits look like twigs bc theyre full leaf wraps. i also feel like they would choose banana because none of the other mercs would want to smoke that.

demo: with demo it was more a process of elimination than anything. i dont think he's a cigarette smoker. so i went with a cigarillo because i can so very clearly see him smoking one. i don't think he would go for swishers as a lot of them are fruity, and that doesn't seem up demo's alley. i went with white owl sweets because theyre simple and straight forward, and i feel he would like a pack of sweets. to be honest, im a little shaky on this one, but i don't think anything else would suit him besides like. game greens. to be fair, i don't think he smokes much, and would probably go for something higher quality and hand wrapped if he was smoking a cigar. overall he would get these if he needed something quick and cheap.

heavy: idk about other stores but my store has 1 million dorals and nobody is buying them except for maybe one person every 6 months. heavy is that person. if heavy is smoking anything he's smoking light 100s because i can't see him smoking or liking a rich or full flavor cigarette. also dude is big so he's not getting shorts because they're too small and will be gone in two seconds. these smokes are a mystery to me; i have no idea of the quality or price range. but in my mind i can see him coming up to my counter, asking for these, and leaving without a word.

engie: i almost went with marlboro southern cut for this guy but it felt too on the nose, even if i think he would enjoy the smoke of those. i went with honey bourbon backwoods instead. the flavor seems right up his alley, and i can clearly see him asking for these at a convenience store. as to what he does with them... i can see him smoking them as they come in the package, or using them as a wrap. overall engie looks like he drinks good whiskey, and these cigars look like good whiskey. well... bourbon.

medic: i had a hard time deciding what medic would smoke and went thru all the brands i know of. at first i discounted marlboro because of how commonly bought they are, figuring he would smoke something weirder. but when i came back to it i had figured he would enjoy menthols, and i landed on marlboro menthol blue 100s. he wouldn't go for full flavor, as they would irritate his throat. i feel like smoking these shits would be like sipping cold water after having mint gum. i mean, they're described as "smooth" and "cool." medic is smoking basically spearmint and cold water, but not enough to the point of where he's buying a pack of marlboro ice and its variants of gum package looking cigs.

sniper: i chose cheyenne menthols for him because to me sniper looks like he loves old school shit. the youngest person i have seen come in and buy these has been maybe 40. i don't think he would go for a basic cigarette. cheyennes are box cigars, and a box of these goes for under $3, and typically have more tobacco in them. i feel as if he would enjoy that as well as menthol full flavor, and the smokes themselves are brown instead of white. i can see him smoking a brown looking cigarette so clearly. also the packaging has an outdoorsy look to it lol. basically, i just Know he would go for these. if he was going to go for anything else, he might smoke camel menthol wides. he would also pick up zig zag unbleached cones for his joints.

spy: look we all know spy is smoking that hoity-toity imported french bullshit but if for whatever reason he had to pick up a pack a cigs from a mobil or something it would be parliament blue 100s. i already think he smokes 100s in general, and would go for parliaments because theyre expensive. where im from they sell for like $13 a pack and its always dudes in suits and/or gold chains asking for these things. the packaging isn't an issue here as spy keeps them in a case, but i don't feel like he would turn up his nose at it. overall these are his best option for a gas station cig.

Chapter 8

If she had thought the outside of the mansion was impressive the impossibly large entrance was seriously beyond imagining. She had always known that the man who asked to be her sponsor was something of a wealthy man and possibly lived in a grand home, but this was so much more than she dreamt.

White columns and arches sprung up from a lush dark red carpet that held up the floor above. Golden sconces holding tall tapered candles mounted on the walls awaiting lighting. A large glistening central ceiling light that seemed to be powered by electric shone down from on high like a second sun.

Ornate plasterwork, carved balustrade and a large wide staircase completed the space. It was a design that gave both a warm greeting but also displayed wealth without rubbing a guest’s face in it. That feeling of unworthiness loomed over her again as she allowed herself to be led further into the building all too aware of the gap between her world and his.

Rich dark woods and more of that luxurious carpeting continued on into the rest of the mansion on the upper levels. Many doors lined this particular hallway as did the golden accents and motifs. It could have been a very dark choice of décor had it not been for some large arched lead-lined windows draped in swathes of fabric. Light from outside fell on the floor in warm diamonds and squares as they made a turn and went into another section of the property that seemed a little darker by comparison.

“Welcome to my humble abode.” Comte stated as they walked together.

Sebastian had disappeared saying he was going to prepare fresh tea. She couldn’t help but wonder why tea preparations involved a pencil and notebook. As they walked it became even clearer her host was a very generous man. She was told about the different rooms and how she could explore and have use of any of them.

“It's beautiful, I feel like I just stepped into a storybook.” She gave a smile that rivalled the sun outside at his side.

“It pleases me to hear that.” Comte let out a small unnoticed sigh as he hummed with pleasure. There were still trials and tribulations to go through, but for now, his main concern was making sure that his latest guest was comfortable and settled in his home. As she continued to smile looking around like a child struck by wonder and imagination at the mansion, he started to plan how to make her stay with him as perfect as possible. First dresses then --.

“It’s so different from what I’m used to. I really have no idea wha—AH!” His planning came to an abrupt halt as the Princess beaming at his side suddenly vanished. Her entire body tumbled to the ground like a marionette with its strings cut. His paused mid-stride and looked down to see a tangled mess of limbs that may as well have been a depiction of some far-eastern deity.

“Mmm, Loud…” An all too familiar voice from the ground had Comte rolling his eyes and feeling irritated before he even addressed the moving trip hazard that plagued the mansion.

“Leo, what are you doing sleeping in the corridor?” Comte looked down at the man who was running one hand through his messy hair his other holding the fallen girl up preventing her from the carpeting by balancing her on his lap. Her face was blushing red as a peony, a sight that both made him want to chuckle but also seemed to irritate him right now.

“Well I was waiting to see you and I guess I got tired.” Leo gave a nonchalant shrug turning a pair of sleepy eyes towards her and adjusted his arm to aid her in escaping his embrace. “Pardon Signorina.”

She scrambled back to the side of the man she knew to trust her eyes hardly daring to leave the new male who seemed a lot more like one of the patrons in the performing house. His clothes were quality but how they had been applied to him made it seem like he had dressed either in a hurry or found the idea to be simply too much hassle. He seemed to be the complete opposite of the composted and elegant Comte.

“No, it was my fault I wasn’t paying attention.” Evie gave an awkward apology from Comte’s elbow. She seemed even more adorable to him as he reached out his arm to wrap it around her delicate shoulders. It was as much a move to reassure her as it was one to send a clear message.

“Genevieve this is Leonardo. He is an old friend of mine and also one of the guests in the mansion.” Comte shifted his own golden eyes to look at his friend and didn’t miss the playful delicate shimmering under the surface of Leo’s eyes when he looked between the young lady and him. “Leo, Genevieve is to be my new guest here starting today.”

“Ah, well that explains why you have been absent these past few nights.” Leo gave a suggestive wink that worked as he intended and Comte could feel himself bristle at the provocation. Why the man seemed to delight it being a provocative nuisance at times like this was beyond him. The now wide-awake Leonardo gave a semi bow as he bent over and kissed Evie’s hand. “A pleasure to meet you Cara mia.”

“Monsieur.” Evie’s reply came as an automatic reply from a place that was still a kind of bewilderment.

“Just call my Leo, all that Monsieur stuff isn’t necessary.” Leo brushed away her formality as if he were swatting a fly and favoured her with a kind smile. His eyes much closer and clearer now looked a bit like candle flames. The amount of light they seemed to hold was mesmerising in a different way to Comte’s.

“Alright, Leo.” She nodded understanding all to well what it felt like to be called in a manner you felt uncomfortable with. She glanced to her side wondering why after discovering her full name her sponsor had decided to use it. Had she not made it clear she was unused to it or was it a shift he moved into around others that meant he felt obligated to call her a set way? Fine Society was something of a mystery to her thanks to her humbler origins so she didn’t feel she could say for certain one way or another.

“Bene, grazie.” Leo happily nodded giving her a pat on the head that made her feel a little like a pet and then he started to pat down his jacket.

“You said you were waiting for me? Was there something you wished to discuss?” Comte's enquiry seemed to remind Leo of his original intention before the distraction of a new guest. Leo pulled out a tin from his pocket that seemed to contain some sort of tobacco product and pulled out a thicker than a normal looking cigarette.

“It has waited this long, I can wait a while longer. Ciao” Leo shrugged again slipping the tin back in his pocket before turning away from them. He cast his hand up, holding his newly selected cigarillo in his hand and gave a wave over his shoulder as he made his exit.

“What a strange man. Oh, sorry he’s your friend and that was rude of me.” Evie once more realised she had said something that should perhaps not have been spoken aloud. It seemed all too easy for some reason to speak freely around Comte but she had no idea exactly when that had happened. When had she become comfortable enough to forget he was there? Her safe and comforting shadow.

“No, I would agree with you ma petite. Leo is rather a free bird so to speak. He is not a bad man but I could not completely say I would…” Comte stopped short of finishing his word of warning against becoming romantically entangled with his friend finding he neither wished to imagine such a prospect and also became aware as she had that he had started to speak casually around her as well. “Oubliez-le. You need not concern yourself with such things. Right now, we must find your room and you should dress.”

Urging her forward once more with a gentle hand on her back they turned another corner and stopped at a door that seemed exactly the same as every other door they had passed so far. If this was there destination and supposed to be her room, she seriously wondered how she should navigate herself back and forth from it. Was she to be given a map and a compass?

“Dress? And what am I to dress in exactly? I only have a blanket and what used to be a nightgown.” Her tone became a bit more petulant as she asked her questions. She had also become more animated at his side than she had been when they first exited the carriage.

She felt a little stupid for acting like a troublesome child but it was Comte’s reaction to it that grabbed her attention most. He waited patiently for her to finish, with no signs of annoyance or that he was going to dish out a reprimand for being so unladylike. If anything, he seemed rather amused as if this was nothing out of the ordinary. When he was certain she had recovered her composure, he placed his hand on the door handle and turned it.

“I have already prepared some things for you. Remember I told Sebastian that your visit was earlier than planned? I had every intention of at least having you here for tea and gifting you a few items.” He spoke as if he were conversing in general small talk as he wandered into the room and straight up to a wardrobe that took up nearly an entire wall.

“Wha--?” Evie followed looking at the room completely overwhelmed. It was larger than her room in the performing house and looked as elegant as the rest of the building.

All the furniture in here were white and the walls had been painted in pastel shades. A big bay window provided a lot of light, the curtains dropped the full length of the window and pooled on the ground. Extra fabric of a more sheer variety hung over the pole and muted the harsh light. There was a long sideboard with washbasin and jug, covered in a lace cloth.

A white vanity table that looked exactly like her one in the performing house except it had intact gilding and no shoddy repair work. The centrepiece had to be the massive four-poster bed. A deep mattress covered in a large fluffy duvet with a mountain of pillows. The pastel shades of the walls were reflected in the combination of plain fabric, with scalloped edges, on the bed. Instead of curtains attached to the frame of the four posts, there was the same sheer fabric used on the windows wound around them like vines.

“This room gets the light the most. I realise the dresses might not be to your taste, but if you could choose one for the time being, I would happily take you shopping to find more that would suit your own tastes better.” Comte pulled several elegant and very expensive dresses from the vast wardrobe laying them flat on the bed apparently oblivious to her wonder. Her feet moved to his side her hand reaching out to touch the dresses he had selected and her fingertips brushed over fine silk and handmade lace brocade that was a far cry from anything she had experienced before.

“This is… they are all so beautiful. Are you really sure I can wear one?”

“Naturally Ma Cherie. They are all yours after all.” Comte watched admiringly as she traced her fingers delicately over the dresses as if she expected them to evaporate at her touch. This was the moment he enjoyed the most when giving a gift. The expression on her face told a thousand words of wonder and disbelief, and he wanted nothing more than to turn them to reality for her. “I shall be downstairs. There is an ensuite just behind the other door and I shall ask Sebastian to call on you when you are finished.”

Stepping away, after excusing himself, he found he was already feeling her warmth slipping away from him and something cold and familiar seeping back into his heart. The sun might be high in the sky with rays falling on his skin but in truth, he hadn’t been able to feel its effects in years. Stealing a glance before he closed the door on her and her room, he saw her picking up a cream coloured dress covered in floral embroidery a bittersweet smile playing on his lips.

Alone for the first time since the events of that night, Evie couldn’t help but feel the loss of the man who had been her constant companion of late. Naturally, she was glad of the space in order to dress but she still didn’t think she was in the right frame of mind to process what had happened yet. She knew it was not good to depend on others to distract yourself from reality but she still couldn’t place what the feeling of loss was.

Tears began to fall from her eyes as she walked to the window and opened the latch. A cool breeze drifted into the room, the smell of fresh air she could never find in the city, and a faint fragrance of flowers filled her lungs calming her.

“I can’t believe all this is real. It’s like stepping from a nightmare into a fantasy.”

can i get insurance with a permit

can i get insurance with a permit? I can t believe the answer is yes. This is not an opinion piece on or against smoking but rather, about having a permit to smoke. This is because I am aware. I have smoked several times in my life having been a smoker for over a year. And I do smoke. And I am able to get insurance from my permit as a smoker, as an independent agent. What am I missing out on? I have to ask! Does insurance cover tobacco smoking? This is a pretty common question whether I was drinking or smoking when I was 20 or 20 years old in the 1980s or in an attempt to quit, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have insurance or that no insurance is your best bet other than being a smoker.

Is it in a couple of years a car that never ends up? And if I was driving one it would end up in someone else s place or in a wreck for whatever reason it seems you dont want people driving insurance on your insurance, I hope the only reason I can drive a car with no insurance is by the car and you should know that it is not a car. I don t know if they will allow people to drive it out of a car but i get a check that means they are going to have to pay me if i was driving it out of my car. Any tips?

Clinical Cannabis Medical Applications

"From the ancient Egyptians to 20th-century medicine throughout Prohibition, there has always been a belief that alcohol has medicinal effects. Also today they declare that drinking a glass of merlot will certainly decrease your possibility of heart disease. Naturally, a glass of average grape juice would achieve the very same. Now, for the very first time, below in the 21st century, there are severe attempts to legalize and also offer legitimacy to the positive medicinal results of marijuana.

Using cannabis has major social and also lawful results on society as a whole. Socially, is utilizing marijuana acceptable? It is certainly becoming more so as 14 states and the District of Columbia (our nation's resources) have actually legislated the medication for medicinal usage. The city of Breckenridge, Colorado has actually legislated it for leisure usage. It is not uncommon to see people smoking marijuana joints on the Pearl Road Shopping Mall in Stone. Is this socially appropriate habits? In November, California, desperate to stabilize its budget plan, has a proposal to legislate the leisure use marijuana by adults!

Now, I am not a prude or a grouchy old man (possibly a crotchety middle-aged male), however as a parent of two young, impressionable children, I definitely do not want my kids subjected to cannabis use in public. I also would agree to bet that the majority of that cigarette smoking cannabis would certainly not desire their children to establish a dependency to cannabis when they matured.

Legitimately, just how does police react to people utilizing or possessing marijuana? This inquiry is the root of all that is essentially incorrect with present regulations relating to medical cannabis. President Barack Obama's Administration has mentioned rather plainly in March 2009 that they will not pursue representatives of medical marijuana. That basically put the enforcement guidelines right into the states themselves.

The golden state and Colorado are both most noticeable states managing the consequences of their voters legislating cannabis for medical use. Among the standard troubles that all states that have legislated using cannabis for clinical functions face is that nobody was ready when these suggestions passed. By that I imply, the suggestions did not lay out how the state would certainly go about refining and also settling this brand-new market. There were no procedures for who could become a clinical cannabis dispensary, exactly how to classify the businesses, where they might open shop and even exactly how to strain the market.

It is interesting to keep in mind that after The golden state came to be the first state to pass a law legislating medicinal marijuana in 1996, nothing truly happened. Consider the present ""pot shop"" phenomenon in California for a moment. Physicians, clients, and also owners took extremely cautionary courses. Couple of medical professionals would certainly risk their clinical licenses by recommending marijuana, couple of brave business owners would take the chance of opening up a shop that could be invaded by government agents any time. Just those that the regulation was created for, clients struggling with glaucoma, cancer cells, and AIDS sought referrals for medical marijuana.

What happened? Why the rapid growth in applications to make use of as well as sell clinical marijuana? While the modification in presidential managements and also lawful placements pertaining to the enforcement of government cannabis legislations from Bush to Obama favors the ""pot shop"" neighborhood, there is no doubt that the substantial rise took place well before Bush returned to Texas.

The variety of medicinal marijuana dispensaries has actually exploded in all states where it has become lawful. According to a tale in USA Today (March 8, 2007), the variety of dispensaries in Los Angeles raised from four in late 2005 to 98 less than a year later. In June 2010 there were 186 ""pot shops"" running within the Los Angeles city limits. Actually, an estimated 50 similar stores were forced out of organisation because of market over-saturation. With 186 ""pot stores"" open up the City of Los Angeles had greater than 400 authorized applications for dispensaries within the city limitations that had yet to open their doors.

Police as well as common council were absolutely unprepared for the legalization of cannabis. With the number of shops and individuals boosting at astonishing prices the legal marijuana sector is practically running itself, with lawmakers trying ever-so-hard to catch up to the gigantic snowball that is collecting size and also rate daily. The pharmaceutical market has actually not seen such a drastic increase in the demand for medicine given that Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine.

According to a neighborhood information network in Denver, the state was getting greater than 1,000 applications for a clinical cannabis permit on a daily basis. According to the station, since August 26, 2010, the state had a stockpile of between 60,000 and 70,000 applications.

What were every one of these bad suffering spirits taking previously medical marijuana came to be legal therefore available? When you have your ""clinical cannabis card"" there are numerous places you can go to discover your ""medicine"". If a dispensary such as ""CannaMart"", ""Selection Organics"", Nature's Wonder"", ""Blossom Power Botanicals"", ""Premier Wellness Center"" or ""Ganja Depot"" is not within a brief drive, simply check online via Google.

With the federal government determining to step back and states completely unprepared as well as not sure how to manage this market, it has fallen under the hands of specific communities. Lots of common council like those in Aurora as well as Broomfield, Colorado has actually outlawed griswold salve dispensaries from their towns. Obviously, these cities will certainly face claims from prospective owners as well as needy individuals that find it challenging to drive 10 miles to obtain their ""medicine"".

The cities are beginning to obtain more aid from the state level. In Colorado, those with a rap sheet are no more allowed to own a dispensary. The attorney generals are beginning to take an active take a look at how to control the shops. While this is a good idea and has forced many locations to shut, the industry still appears to be spiraling out of hand.

Regulating the sale of this market is key. It is smart to start with the people who possess the stores and also function their method down. Then, maybe the most significant obstacle of all will be to tackle those just how and also that obtain prescriptions for medical marijuana. That is a topic for the future.

It is very important to keep in mind that like alcohol and also tobacco, cannabis is a medication. If you or somebody you recognize might be addicted to cannabis or various other medications, it is very important to look for help. There are numerous alcohol and drug awareness programs one can go to, along with a range of support groups like Twelve step programs (AA). For those that would certainly choose to take a program in the privacy of their own house, there are also on-line alcohol classes and also alcohol and drug training courses."

Selecting a Trusted Medical Cannabis Dispensary

"From the ancient Egyptians to 20th-century medication throughout Restriction, there has actually constantly been an idea that alcohol has medicinal impacts. Also today they assert that consuming alcohol a glass of red wine will reduce your opportunity of cardiovascular disease. Certainly, a glass of average grape juice would certainly complete the exact same. Now, for the first time, below in the 21st century, there are serious attempts to legalize as well as provide legitimacy to the positive medicinal impacts of marijuana.

Using cannabis has major social and also legal results on society overall. Socially, is using cannabis appropriate? It is absolutely coming to be much more so as 14 states and the District of Columbia (our country's resources) have actually legislated the medication for medical use. The city of Breckenridge, Colorado has actually legislated it for leisure use. It is not unusual to see people smoking cannabis joints on the Pearl Street Shopping Center in Rock. Is this socially acceptable actions? In November, The golden state, determined to balance its spending plan, has a suggestion to legislate the recreational use of cannabis by grownups!

Now, I am not a prude or an irritable old man (maybe a crotchety middle-aged guy), but as a parent of 2 young, flexible youngsters, I definitely do not desire my children exposed to marijuana usage in public. I likewise would certainly want to bet that most of that cigarette smoking cannabis would certainly not desire their youngsters to create a dependency to cannabis when they matured.

Legally, exactly how does law enforcement react to individuals using or having marijuana? This one inquiry is the root of all that is basically wrong with current regulations concerning medical marijuana. Head of state Barack Obama's Administration has mentioned rather clearly in March 2009 that they will certainly not go after suppliers of clinical marijuana. That basically put the enforcement regulations right into the states themselves.

The golden state and also Colorado are the two most famous states handling the consequences of their voters legislating marijuana for medical usage. One of the fundamental issues that all states that have actually legislated using cannabis for clinical objectives encounter is that nobody was ready as soon as these propositions passed. By that I suggest, the proposals did not detail how the state would certainly deal with refining as well as adjudicating this new industry. There were no procedures for who might end up being a clinical marijuana dispensary, just how to classify the businesses, where they could open shop or perhaps just how to strain the market.

It interests note that after The golden state ended up being the very first state to pass a legislation legislating medicinal marijuana in 1996, nothing actually took place. Think of the existing ""pot store"" phenomenon in California for a moment. Physicians, clients, and owners took very cautionary courses. Couple of physicians would risk their clinical licenses by prescribing cannabis, few endure entrepreneurs would certainly risk opening up a store that could be raided by government representatives any time. Just those who the legislation was developed for, clients struggling with glaucoma, cancer, and AIDS sought referrals for clinical marijuana.

What occurred? Why the rapid development in applications to utilize and sell medical marijuana? While the adjustment in presidential managements and also lawful placements pertaining to the enforcement of federal cannabis laws from Bush to Obama prefers the ""pot store"" neighborhood, there is no doubt that the massive rise happened well before Bush returned to Texas.

The number of medical cannabis dispensaries has taken off in all states where it has actually come to be lawful. According to a tale in USA Today (March 8, 2007), the number of dispensaries in Los Angeles enhanced from 4 in late 2005 to 98 less than a year later. In June 2010 there were 186 ""pot shops"" running within the Los Angeles city limitations. Actually, an approximated 50 similar stores were displaced of business because of market over-saturation. With 186 ""pot shops"" open up the City of Los Angeles had more than 400 authorized applications for dispensaries within the city restrictions that had yet to open their doors.

Police as well as common council were totally unprepared for the legalisation of marijuana. With the variety of stores and also individuals increasing at astonishing prices the legal marijuana industry is virtually running itself, with legislators attempting ever-so-hard to reach the huge snowball that is gathering dimension as well as rate daily. The pharmaceutical market has not seen such an extreme boost in the demand for medication considering that Jonas Salk griswold salve developed the polio vaccination.

According to a neighborhood information channel in Denver, the state was receiving more than 1,000 applications for a clinical cannabis certificate on a daily basis. According to the station, since August 26, 2010, the state had a backlog of between 60,000 and 70,000 applications.

What were all of these bad suffering souls taking in the past clinical marijuana ended up being lawful therefore available? When you have your ""clinical marijuana card"" there are numerous places you can go to locate your ""medicine"". If a dispensary such as ""CannaMart"", ""Option Organics"", Nature's Wonder"", ""Blossom Power Botanicals"", ""Premier Wellness Center"" or ""Marijuana Depot"" is not within a brief drive, just check on the internet through Google.

With the federal government choosing to go back and states completely not really prepared and unclear exactly how to control this industry, it has fallen under the hands of individual communities. Many common council like those in Aurora as well as Broomfield, Colorado has banned dispensaries from their communities. Of course, these cities will certainly face lawsuits from potential owners and also clingy individuals who discover it difficult to drive 10 miles to get their ""medicine"".

The cities are starting to get more aid from the state degree. In Colorado, those with a criminal record are no longer allowed to own a dispensary. The attorney general of the United States are starting to take an active take a look at how to manage the stores. While this is a good thing and also has forced many areas to close, the sector still seems spiraling out of control.

Controling the sale of this industry is essential. It is wise to start with the people that own the shops as well as work their means down. After that, maybe the greatest hurdle of all will be to take on those just how as well as that receive prescriptions for medicinal cannabis. That is a topic for the future.

It is very important to note that like alcohol as well as tobacco, marijuana is a drug. If you or someone you know may be addicted to marijuana or other medicines, it is necessary to seek aid. There are numerous alcohol and also drug awareness training courses one can participate in, along with a range of support system like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). For those that would certainly like to take a course in the privacy of their own home, there are also on the internet alcohol courses as well as alcohol and also medicine courses."

The World is Round - 18/09/16

///(((I’m just going to note that what follows is a rather intense piece of writing that I spurted out on a particularly godless journey on the aforementioned date. I’m fine now, really. - 03/05/17)))\\

I smell awful. Really awful. I should be a museum exhibit. It may be terrible, but I feel freed by my smell. I feel like the smell of my exterior may have finally attuned to my interior in a way that has finally freed me from general expectations.

I wonder whether other people can smell it? I believe they must be able to. But from what distance? 15 feet? 20 feet? I’m counting in metric because it feels a lot better at accounting for short distances. Or is that imperial? I must check later when I have an Internet connection.

I don’t normally write. I’m a very lecherous being really. It’s probably why the smell is helping. The warning people never normally get. I don’t really know how to feel about my ability to destroy people. They come to me. It must ultimately be what they want. I’m what they want. For no real good reason. A change of perspective I suppose. I guess that is what destruction is good for… A change of perspective.

One might wish that people had a better ability to judge their interests. But then, really, that’s not very high on the problem list of the human race. Really, anyone who’s not a genocidalist is really a saint. But then who am I to judge? I’m sure genocidalists have lives too. Long, long lives of seconds and minutes and hours and days and years and decades of moments that struggle to conjure up a human being. Who is anyone to judge? We’re fucked, really.

So it continues, boring and monotonous. I’m currently on the train. A world is falling past me. Many worlds in fact, but I won’t get into listing infinities again, I’m sure you get the idea. I just saw The Fat a White Family. Good band. Expressing so you don’t have to. I feel thankful to them really. In many ways they’ve sacrificed decent lives to provide what some might consider to be artistic meaning. They’re not very well people, that’s for sure. I think Descartes tried to do something similar. But in all honesty, everything he discovered was wrong.

The words are falling out of my head. Sooner or later this will all stop.

Tomorrow is a blank cheque. A blank cheque of my time, effort and money. I don’t want to talk about work. So I won’t. Other than to say that I work as a projectionist. Yes with film once. The world is becoming increasingly less isolated and increasingly more obsolete. Trains stopped. Anyway. It’s not fun. Not as much as it ought be.

Data.

I’m lazy, insecure, relatively hopeless, reliable (but not in love), , ,

To be honest I’ve kind of given up. I used to be happy, you know like that real kind of happy, where you know you’re miserable, but you know you’ll always be miserable, the truth is that this is practically as good as it’s ever going to get. I wish I wasn’t so accurate in my predictions. So after years of struggling with all that, I’ve finally given up. My life is sacrificial bread, now I’m just trying to figure out how best to give it away.

Everyone and everything /everyone is dying in 2016, it’s practically celebrity deathmatch./ sorry people on the train are interrupting my train of thought. Is telling me the same thing at the moment. Something along the lines of the past was good (that one comes to varying degrees, after all, the recent past was good, beyond that is…) the present is a transitional phase, the future will be complicated. Fairly straightforward.

I was quite thankful not to get shot by something extremists tonight. It would have upset my girlfriend too much.

Next station is the airport.

It’s only a matter of time till there is a terrorist attack in England/London, so say the experts. Culture is eating itself, with little seeming to flow in. The planet is invariably dying. We’re past the levels where our man made pollution was manageable. It’s really as apocalyptic a time as it has ever felt. I feel like in my more luxuriously bitter moments, one can count the number of generations left with a couple of half-severed fingers. When culture goes, so do the rest of us. And bring it on. The UK and the US are drowning in their own mistakes, the world is given to mass disaster, human nature is evil and the world celebrates mother Theresa. Just cut the chord, nothing is worth the suffering of so many, and no it’s not for any damn good reason.

Rant over. Life gets boring when one invokes too much emotion. I always quite liked the long-necked things in Star Wars episode II. I always felt like they were essentially what the human race would be if built slightly better, but hey, they were arms dealers and responsible for the death of everything, so who am I to judge?

Yawn yawn yawn.

Why am I so obsessed with being built to fail? Defective? It was only today I realised that was actually regarded a trait of being an INFP. How rewarding. Nice to know I’m on schedule.

One has to be very careful when one gains an interest and belief in the mystical not to let it damage your life to levels you’re not willing to support on a purely rational level. But then I’m a pretty rational person. I like logic too much. It’s why I’m not really to be trusted with people. I mean, I’ve got an emotional side too, it’s just, it’s quite well governed by the rational one, which means under bad influences I can become pretty well… Pragmatic, that’s the word I wanted. It also means that in the past I’ve thought that you could deal with people logically and that when they said they understood and agreed with you they meant you were on the right side of history. That’s not really how it works.

So the mystical is not a thing I can explain very easily (the justification comes and goes in my mind) all I can say is it starts with energy and fairly common things that one can easily witness, and comfortably spreads out beyond that. Magic does seem to be a thing. Some people seem attuned to it, some not. But that’s not a morality or value judgement, it’s merely an observation, but then I do a lot of that too. No wonder I ruin people.

My cigarette appears to be vomiting out tobacco of its own free will. I can’t blame it, I only smoke, like most people, as a form of long-term undetectable suicide. I wouldn’t mind getting stabbed tomorrow. But then maybe I would once it happened. There’s so much freedom in the inevitable, or maybe good will is a better word. People really enjoy the feeling (by which I mean on what would appear to be an instinctive level) of having lost control. I mean sure, enjoyment is a strong word, but then, emotions can be quite odd things. Enjoyment might be the least desirable one.

A little, long or middling time ago I dated a crazy girl. She was not very well. Times were tough. If she ever read this she might have a problem, so I’m going to stop.

Secret doors, morality calls. What is one to do. Try and care. Well. Caring is inevitable, for some anyway.

Did you ever see that film ‘The Act of Killing’? I’m not explicitly recommending it, because some people won’t enjoy it. There’s that word again… Enjoy… Misuse, or truly an odd emotion? Anyway, it’s not an enjoyable film. But it will show you something.

I hope you realise I’m an unreliable and deeply flawed narrator because otherwise you’re probably not going to enjoy this very much. Also, I’m not fishing for compliments, I’m perfectly happy to accept this is a really pointless, vain, unreadable (well now you’re being just a bit silly) boring and poorly written piece of writing WITH self-aggrandising statements, I mean… Semi-colons, I mean, colonoscopies, I MEAN ANGRY VOICE DEEP TONE LOW THROAT VOMIT IT OUT … eurgh…. Writers should leeArn to not … (Self-aggrandisement again, not fun) (invert commas? No) getting closer… It’s a stupid joke I’m sure you can finish it…

Now at Haywards Heath.

There was a man opposite me, that is at the table adjacent to mine, who was frowning I suspected (drowning by numbers) at my having my feet up on the seats. I took them down. As he left he took the bag of wrapping which I had left on that table when I had been previously sat at it and put it in the bin as he left. Would I have done the same? Maybe so, actually, as I left. I envisioned a situation somewhat like that one when I left the bag there in the first place. It was somewhat guilty of me I recognised, to not be taking full account of my rubbish, but then I know how trains are cleaned, at least partly, firstly people wander down the aisles and pick stuff up. I feel for these people I really(?) do, but it surely must be said without doing whatever the opposite of reducto ad absurdum is (y'know, butterflies and Hurricanes type stuff) that there will be nothing lost to that person by picking up that bag and putting it in the bin. The Karmic cost of the action, should there possibly be such a thing, surely can’t be that high if to be honest entirely existent, but then if karma exists then who the hell knows who’s fucked in the hereafter or not. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t balance out down here, but then these are old arguments.

No I’m not very educated, yes I’m aware, the occasional references to philosophical ideas, terms or really anything that to the wrong mind may be considered to be an attempt at learnedness should know I’m fairly in on the joke, an A-level in philosophy doesn’t count for shit, it’s merely a joke unto itself, and to be honest in the long run I didn’t even get a good grade. I like to think because I didn’t like the way the second year was graded as goes for my academic college life (or, the years I learnt I didn’t want to be an academic) but then that’s just inflation.

The next station is Brighton. Nearly home. Hipster twats here I come.

Split-infinitives… That’s the fucker.
