Yeah, it's almost like some of the people posting, their only experience with marijuana is watching Reefer Madness. |

| Now that anyone with access to a 3-d printer can just make a firearm I'd say the gun control debate is effectively over. There's just no way you could possibly police or monitor the market at this point. Now the bullet control debate, on the other hand, is going to be the debate of the future-- espe... |

| +5. Last few weeks usually -3 to -5, but my anti-depressants are working so that takes me to 0. Then I just started playing South Park: Stick of Truth so that easily raises it to +5. I can't complain. |

| Beware the Dabs and wax, most times its made with the cheapest butane that can be sourced. Not all oil and wax are made with butane, there is such thing as sub-critical CO2 extraction as well. That being said most of it is butane extracted and poorly done, at least here in Colorado. That's why I gr... |

| How do you think I voted in the last presidential election? Right there is the difference between me knowing my diagnosis this time and spending a decade in the dark. Not to get this post too side-tracked, but I'd recommend you not getting diagnosed if living in the states. There's absolutely no be... |

| I got diagnosed 2 weeks ago @ age 33. My diagnosis was bizarre though, I had a meltdown a decade ago and was sent to a state run mental institution because the police were involved. Apparently they had diagnosed me with Asperger's then, but since I wasn't a client, but a ward of the state, they deci... |

This probably isn't feasible for you but....Bob Marley and a joint cures all anxiety.
That being said ask him if he's on his period, if he's not ask him why he's acting like it. There's no reason to get overly emotional about simple communication errors is the point. |

Eugenics is attempting to control evolution by eliminating "undesirable" genetics....think Nazi-ism and the Holocaust.
Basically if you're on the autism spectrum, "Autism Speaks" thinks you shouldn't have been born at all. |

| My most beloved special interests are pretty select and narrow, so I don't run into the situation too often (retro video-games on the NES, particularly the Castlevania and Megaman series; and pre-modern liturgical ritual texts, haha--told you they were narrow!). So if I were to say, like, Metroid w... |

| I concur with Willard. Sexuality at your age can be a tricky confusing thing. I think deep down you're attracted to this girl even if you don't consciously realize it, it may even be that you're attracted to the fight. Either way, a dream is a dream not an action. We can't control what we dream and ... |
