I don't know him. he looks familiar though... and he's in North Bay, Ont. I went to College there. Lived there for 3 years. I still have friends that live there and sometimes go through there when I travel up north to visit friends/family.
There isn't much to do in North Bay unless you're outdoorsy, it's a college/university town. With the lock down, here in Canada being in crown land was illegal, public parks were closed. If you need out it's tough.
He needs therapy. Until he sees that he won't get better.

He was/is a computer guy. Likes playing with them the way we do. Likes to put rigs on ice in the cold Canadian winters to see what he can get out of em. Likes to mess with video cards and old rigs. Then he fell on his face. He was fun to watch.
It's a shame that these things have to happen to people. Makes me appreciate what I have and that I never went down that road.
My neighbors son is right now going thru a similar situation with Marijuana. He just got hooked bad on it. It's legal here so he just got all that he wanted. And now he is sick and useless. His Dad doesn't know what to do with him. In and out of rehab all of the time. All he thinks about is pot in any and every form. He lost his job, his wife and kids left him and now he's broke living with his Dad. Too much of anything is bad for you, but too much of addictive substances like this is really bad for you. Poor guy.
Gosh I feel so fortunate.

A good portion of the population here is vaccinated now. Things are opening up again. I can imagine a lot of folks have had to deal with a lot of mental issues due to the lock downs. Me, I didn't mind much. I like my solitude.

The way he's talking makes me think he got into some other shit, not just weed.. Depends on the body and mind chemistry. and some people don't have enough to live for. so they let themselves get dragged down.

I remember when I was a kid. There was a so called gang called "The Freaks" in my neighborhood. They never bothered anyone. They were only interested in smoking pot all day and sleeping all day long. They used to hang out in a small neighborhood park by me. You could go there any time of the day or night and there they were. Just lying around like hippies just smoking pot and discussing the different kinds of pot they were getting. I couldn't figure how they got the money for it cause none of them worked. But they always had it. Those guys couldn't keep a straight thought in there brains if they tried. Always coughing terribly and not remembering things. They would leave to go home and leave there house keys on the grass in the park and then had to come back and try to remember what they did with them. My pot smoking friends would tell me that it had a way of relaxing them and sedating them. But I was one those people that just couldn't tolerate it. In fact I don't do well with any meds. Prescriptions screw me up and pot makes me very ill. So I can never use it.
I wish they could study marijuana and find all the good stuff that's in it, extract that and use it to cure people of diseases. My Grandmother used to use the marijuana plant to make a kind of poultice to treat her Osteoarthritis. She said it was the best thing ever for it. But gramms would look at us and say........"don't you EVER make a cigarette out of this and smoke it." She was a nurse when she was a young woman. She knew all about all the old herbal cures. She always said she felt there was a lot a medicinal properties in that plant. I believe that to be very true. It might become a miracle drug one day if they can just unlock it's secrets and figure out proper ways to administer it and dosages. It would be pretty cool I think.

Most people like that grow their own. they'll have a secret field and just do what they want.
and as for medical properties. I 100% agree with you. I know people that smoke or ingest it and it's helps a flurry of aliments. But I don't expect to ever come out in the actual medical industry. Big Pharma is too big. They are making too much money esp. on cancer and the 2-3% effectiveness that chemo has as one example.
I wish we could warp in the future to "Then Next Generation" where we were kind to each other and help each other instead of looking for that quick buck. If we could just get rid of the monetary factors of life and just live. things would get a lot better.

You are so right Vinster. Big Pharma is pushing back on any real cures. Keeping us sick and hooked on their make shift medical patch me up temporarily type drugs is worth hundreds of billions of dollars per year to them. There are so many medicinal plants on this planet. The old generations used to and still do use them to cure and treat all kinds of ailments. Pharma just won't allow it in our so called modern world. They need to control us.
