let me know thanks. i toke alot of pain and medicartion and things i dident even know to become safe

Do you "take" a lot of medication?

Or do you "toke" your medication?

In American English slang: "to toke" means to inhale marajuana, or some other psychoactive smokable!

Sounds like you're making a pun.

Yes, I think so.

For me it was science (psychology, a tiny bit of neurology) that got me knowing what I was, and religion that gave me motivation to keep going. I also had to develop the distinction between just "masking," which is pleasant but false, and actually trying to become a better person--which is very slow, but at least genuine. Probably more genuine than I am.

Anyway, that's how things are, and though I have a lot of problems I also have way more joys and live a very intense life even if at times I don't seem to be doing much of anything. My Aspergers' skills are going to work--I can help my fellow students in college both with their personal struggles & with their studies. I can also write. Things are going well and I am happy.

I'm glad your medication helped you out and got you in a good place--but is there a pun in "I toke medication?" Then again, with the trial of medical cannabis, perhaps it's not such a punning joke after all. Just happy you are feeling better!

That's what I thought. But I was just making sure.

In normal word usage you say that you "take" medicine. Not "toke" it.

(Though SOME folks consider cannibis to be medication. So some folks might say that they "toke" medication, but that's not normal word usage).
