I got a call from an activist group in LA yesterday. A local news station wants to come in and interview a LA based female grower. They want to know if I'll do it. We're negotiating terms like they can't show my face and they can't know my location so I'll have to drive them in. No cell phones. I also want final edit sign off. I'm not sure if I should do it.
That's a tuff call, you never know there ambitions!

I'm not going to do it. I really don't have anything to gain by it. I just watched "Wag the Dog" again last night. Any and all growers should watch that movie. You'll get it at the end of the movie.

HempCon is trying to keep things going by being super careful. There won't be any cannabis there.
There will be one in the Bay area I think in august. We aren't sure if we're going yet.

I just got back from Northern California. I went to see the man that I've been seeing for the last few months to see if it was worth it for us to try to move forward. He was MIA and everyone was freaking out. He showed up 30 hours late and in critical condition. He's killing himself and I'm not going to join in that party. I stayed for about 18 hours making sure that he stayed alive but turned him over to his employees. Done.

As a bonus for my good deeds and intentions, I got a speeding ticket and when the officer came up to my window to give me the ticket, he said that he smelled burning marijuana. Sooooo, I got to go through a field sobriety test. Yippie! Don't try this at home kids, but I talked my way out of it. My lawyer informs me that I should have just let him try to arrest me. Then since I didn't stay in my hotel while I was nursing my friend back to life, someone broke into my room and took my computer. I called the cops and he really gave me a hard time. The hotel lady (I'm using that term loosely, she was really a bitch) said that they had found a medical marijuana card in my room. So the cop was saying that there was no way that I could know if I didn't leave my door open since I smoke marijuana. I thought NorCal was cool. It's not true. I'm never going there again.

aint that about a bitch. it sucks to hear that you went up there with good intentions and got shit on at every corner. still no luck finding your calli boyfriend, huh? i enjoy the single life but i can understand wanting a companion in the grow room and bedroom. good luck, and dont let this ruin your day. smoke a doobie and try and leave most of that shit behind you

oh and thats fucked up, the cop saying you dont know if you locked the door because you take a certain medication. would the same situation be true if they find a script of pain pills or some empty beer cans in the trash?

thank you. I know you're right.
I've never had an encounter with LEO and 2 within 24 hours? Shit. I'm getting it from all sides. But it's making me stronger. I'm a fighter.

Sorry to hear about your friend up north, it happens to even the best of them sometimes.
Especially when things get out of control.
Which is why I love mj the way I do, keeps me level headed...
It really sux to hear about the double whammie with leo as well.
Sounds like the universe has other plans for your destiny, you shouldnt have walked away from that traffic stop.... small town cops dont get raises or new equipment unless they have the revenue to pay for it, and they get revenue from people like you!

some one was watching over your shoulder, if it was me I would take the whole affair and count my lucky stars, chalk it up as a lesson learned, and move on to the next opportunity!

That's what I'm doing. I know there is something else out there for me. I know that I should have been arrested. I know this is just a way of me getting stronger. I'm really more sad for him. I was the best thing that could ever happen to him. There was a fork in the road for him and he's driving straight into the next life. For me, it was a chance for love but I'll get over that. I think my destiny is to help get cannabis out of the closet. I'm doing that with my activism, my website, and I'm making two games that should be very controversial but hopefully popular enough to get people to think.

This quote from Amelia Earhart has been inspiring me: "The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward."
