The opportunity to
One night a man met a god. The god told him that great things were going to happen to him. He was going to have the opportunity to acquire a great fortune, attain an important position in society, and marry a beautiful wife. The man had been waiting his whole life for this strange promise, and nothing had happened. He spent his life in poverty and died alone of old age. When he died, he saw the god again and said to him, "You promised to give me wealth, high social status, and a beautiful wife. I have waited all my life for nothing."

The Drug Dealer Healer
The fuel crisis in Sri Lanka had reached new peaks and hardly any traffic was moving on the roads. Queues at gas stations were literally miles long in each direction and the death toll in these queues was now at 15. Today was bright and sunny, and around 33ºC in the shade. Uber and PickMe drivers had all but disappeared and the only option was to cycle it.

Cannabis & Coffee Chronicles #1
It's been some time since I last laid down an entry. I am awake, focused, and motivated. For what? Just... to live. To thrive another day without worrying about what I missed or got wrong the day before, but to do better than the day before. Learn from the past to understand and live in the present in order to influence and change the future. That's my motto for the day.

The seed
All there is to need to know about marijuana. Should I start out by saying how far it's come. To legalize something known as a drug, that’s misunderstood. The idea that marijuana can hurt you is wrong. And I am still learning. I can tell you the first time I tried it. I took a big bong hit and spend the next 20 minutes catching my air. Stupidly thinking my parents in the other room weren't wondering why I was choking in the room. Thankfully they were old school enough not to bring it up until a later time. However, after I finally caught some air, I was able to explain my experience in detail to my partner. The first thing I said is. “I feel like this is a movie theater and I'm watching myself while I'm talking” needless to say I was stoned. This plant changed the way I see things. It is basically like a symbol in my life. That gives me peace and comfort. My partner is the real deal when it comes to marijuana and its nature. There's not one thing he couldn’t answer for me. He tells me the nature, the texture, the history of the seed down to its roots. I've seen beautiful colors, wonderful smelling, glistening crystals and diamonds. It changed me into a better person. I have this song I always play; it reminds me of good times. One of the many things I love to do while I relax is play music. There's an artist I always listen to. It has the best background music that will get you in a peaceful mood. It's my go to when I smoke. I was pretty much the last one in my grade to find out about weed. Everyone would make plans for weekends and talk about it over the week. About how the weed was so purple and how everyone was there. I can't help but think they didn’t know much about what they said. My partners a connoisseur. So evidently, he finds the best stuff there is and we try it all. From Fish scale to Wookie's and Crumble lime. The chunks of caramel candy, through the diamonds shining in his banger. Chronic migraines are my thing. Gmo cookies cured my headaches. It’s a good thing there's always home remedies. There is still a lot to learn from this. It was something kept away for so long because of its potential. It can be literally anything from a plant to a candy to a drink and even a shirt. So many benefits that back then we didn’t know how to monetize it correctly, so we banned it. The plant itself can heal a person. It's been proven. The world fears things it doesn’t have control over. Like a plant. That grows from soil. The most natural way to grow a seed. To nurture it to protect it and to grow with it. The process is Extraordinary. That’s if you like to watch plants grow. I can still remember the day my partner showed me the first real plant he got his hands on. It was this huge plant bigger than my hand. It was cool to see something so green so full of life. Holding the stickiest nug in your fingers and breaking it apart. The way that smell comes rising up after you first press your thumb down. There's one thing I can definitely vouch for, is that weed, calms you. It's like a sedative for your mind, it eases your anxiety. It's helped in difficult times. When you need something to keep you from shouting into your pillow. Smoke a little something and it'll have you playing video games in a couple minutes. Everyone needs something to help them through there days good or bad. Rather it's because you lost on your game or because the world can't stop throwing bricks at you. The truth is weed is just a plant. Nature found a way to gives us peace within. Enjoy the beautiful flower.

A Pipe Called Peace. Top Story - January 2022.
Sweet clouds billow from my lips and for the first time in over a decade, I don’t judge myself for their creation. I inhale support, exhale that feeling like the whole world is sitting on my chest. My nervous system softens into equilibrium and I hear myself say the words “thank god” out loud. A beloved plant, an old friend invites me to breathe, laugh, surrender.

Cannabis and Coffee
Cannabis and Coffee Ya know, some people have their favorite morning pastimes they enjoy. Some are raw and rugged and like to have a bit of whiskey in their coffee. You see, I was raised in the country and some cowboys and ranchers used to do that. Pour some whiskey whether it be Canadian or Bourbon. To the rim of the coffee cup sometimes and greeting the sun. Sometimes before the sun. Getting ready to either feed the cattle or go check on something out on the land. Always work needing to be done. And who’s to judge them right?

Churning the black hole
I felt stiff, like I was putting too much energy into holding my spine up straight. When I opened my eyes the man was sitting in front of me.
