hey
@BonHoonLayneCornell .
there is a flip side to your "life is okay with a little weed in it".
My next door neighbour has fallen into it real bad. She goes from one junkie house mate to another. And I go from one nut job after another threatening me.
a year and a half ago, one nut wanted to burn my house down.
The latest! all seemed fine for a while. Then off the deep end. At 2 am, 2 nights ago. He is screaming and banging. I get up too see the next morning, he has attacked his pine tree.
There has been screaming for 2 days now. And more run ins with him.
She is upset at me because I call her ex-husband to come and collect her. He comes or her parents do and she is upset. Wonders into my backyard, falls down and so on. But, she sees me as a rat.
People come, people go and noise. Cops come, city services. child services..
One of they many beaus was a young afro-Arab.. He is crying on my shoulder a few weeks ago about how she locked him out and is cheating on him. I have not seen him since.
Now I have junior who rings by door bell, knocks on my door and flees. Then he barks at me from her porch.
The boy is coming within an inch of getting his skull cracked open. But, I am actually amused by him and enjoying the lunacy. A beer in his hand at 7 am. After a night of screaming. a tirade at me and off to bed. Then he wakes at 4 pm and more barking at me.
I have her ex husband calling me, needing me as a character witness. They pressed charges against him. He objected to her lighting up in front of their kids!!!
there is a flip side BON. A side that the "bourgeois toker" is not seeing. One that could get me killed or injured. Any one of her nut job boy toys killed or injured. Two kids that are now traumatized. An ex husband who has to watch his life unravel and his two kids traumatized. And he has to fight off undue allegations. And I have to bite my lips hard and hold myself back from cracking a 20 something pothead over the head
When space cadet #1 threatened to burn my home down, it was a few months after my wife died. Had he done so earlier and she was still alive, I would have killed him. No f***ing way was I going to take a chance on her dying in a fire.
I hope that all, come to realize that a flip exists and that the 'Bourgeois toker" is not the whole scene. The dark side is right there.
