The Quiet Tension Between Needing Space and Needing People Wanting time alone and wanting connection can both be healthy. The trouble starts when we mistake depleted capacity for a permanent change in who we are.

The Dose Was Not the Problem Why cannabis feels different in older bodies, even when nothing else seems to have changed

For seniors, the cannabis ledger is not “good vs bad.” It is, very concretely:

Did it help sleep without making mornings unsafe?
Did it calm the nervous system without stealing clarity?
If we're not asking good questions, we are not doing medicine.

✅ Cannabis moved from Schedule I to Schedule III
✅ Executive order directing pilot research on cannabinoid care for seniors

The rules changed.
Bodies didn’t.

That’s where the trouble lives.

If I bite my tongue any harder it's gonna leave a mark, friend! Sometimes one has to wade through some tough mud to do the right thing.

I think this one will be worth it for everyone.

that's the plan, anyway. It'll take a few steps still ahead of us, and lots of support from all levels. But, we're here - so we're making some progress so far.

I am not that talented, but appreciate the vote of confidence.

Credit goes to a professional video person for the video. It was made to reach the president, and catch his attention.

Mission accomplished?

I hear ya. I'm just here to vouch that this particular tune happens to be the real deal. No lip-syncing or any slight of hand. No shadiness/corruption, etc.
