I’m confused. Do you see your family everyday, or do you see weed everyday? Because it sounds like you might have an addiction too! The first step to recovering from the devil’s lettuce is to give your weed to a friend so they can hold it for you.

I speak from family experience. I see it every day.

I won't touch the stuff after what I've seen.

I'll just add all the rehab clinics are full too. Open slots are rare.

But, keep those clean days coming, 7 years is an achievement. Best of luck.

Exactly! So glad to meet a fellow addict with experience.

How long have you been in marijuana anonymous? For me, it’s only been 7 years. I live in the ungodly marijuana state of California. It’s terrible. People are so stoned that they become better kids and eat so much ice cream because they get dry mouth from all the grass. Horrible!

It's historically true that names almost always pass from being "boy names" to unisex to "girl names", with almost no names going in the other direction. That process is completed with Ashley, it's mostly happened to Leslie and Lindsey, and it's ongoing with Riley, Jordan, etc.

I think the graph implies that this process happens in the US and UK at different moments: Americans start giving boys' names to girls, and only later do Brits do the same. Possibly, Americans are very high-profile in media, so they have disproportionate influence on international trends?

Do you speak from experience, or denial.

Maybe you should attend marijuana anonymous and see the Destroyed Lives. It's an epidemic of failed lives, by the way have you visited the drug legal states, and seen the begger kids?

Must be nice to live in your everythings-perfect dream land.
