I dont have to excuse anyone! the nickname is literally nonsense and has a less than interesting backstory. Call me Meg.
I agree Caroline. With lots of what you just said. Its too scary for them to think of the possible benefits; I know for a *fact* that having a good trip every now and again does wonders for my mental health and concurrently, my psoriasis. The people that run this joint tend to have a very narrow way of viewing things, because the people before them did and the people before them- its often the only way to get into politics or science or any other rigid discipline/institution. Otherwise people get ridiculed for being too 'out there' and dont get anywhere near enough power to do anything about it!
And also, yeah, I grew up in a family where pot was a lovely happy thing that was shared around the dinner table when my parents had mates over (not for me til I was old enough) so I've never had a complex about its illegality. They taught me early on that those in power dont know everything. Its just harder when its a doctor who is literally the gateway to your health, it being such a physical and ever present thing. And its hard to argue with someone who's spent years studying the body and all its intricate workings, but then they end up failing to see you as an individual with slightly different workings to everyone else.
Gr.
