The cannabis farm (OT)

In my village is no more. Although I told my friend I'd like to try it just
once and she said she'd get me some (just the once) she didn't.

Best not to really. I suspect she hoped it was a silly idea, which it was.

I love this new transgender friend. She is absolutely great. We get on
very well and she looks after me like a male friend but without the sexual
stuff.
We're going to Blackpool on 12th Oct and London in November.

I beat her at Scrabble yesterday..

Ah ha - the truth comes out. We all love friends we can beat playing
games. (Joking! I'm glad you have a new friend, it's so great when
that works out.)

Probably just as well. Since the cannabis farm is no more, if you had
liked it and wanted more you wouldn't have had a source!

I'm so glad you've found someone to pal around with! It sounds like a
fun friendship.

I smoked a lot of it in my youth. I attribute much of my memory loss
to that, but I don't really know. You smoke, you get stoned, you eat.
It's ok but not in the quantities that we were doing. I would legalize
it just because it doesn't do enough harm to warrant being illegal and
so much damage is done by the laws. I read somewhere that 1/3 of the
US prison population is there because of pot. That's nuts.

My memory is actually pretty good considering that I'm over 60 but it
should be better. I'm at work now and just couldn't remember the last
name of a coworker that I email once every few weeks for something. I
know his face, have no trouble with his first name, and sat here for a
minute until his last name (and thus email address) popped into my
head.

The information is still all there, but the pointers to it are flakey.

No, I haven't invited her to my home, she likes cats but is allergic to
them. Boyfie doesn't like visitors anyway, so this is a Good Thing - not
the fact she is allergic to cats - but that he doesn't have to cope with a
new person. It's taken him nearly 10 years to get used to Simon and even
now he's suspicious of June who has fed him every day for weeks several
times when I was in hospital.
The doorbell rings..he's at the back door asking for the out Right Now.
I don't know what he thinks will happen but I don't know his past. Only that
he got lost somehow and Kitty Farmcat brought him here.

Still haven't tried it and probably won't ever do so. It was just "if it's
so great that you have to squat in an empty doctor's surgery to grow some,
and risk prosecution maybe I'd like to try it" Just once.
I'm not sure if your memory loss is due to cannabis use in your past, I'd
say it was pretty normal for 60+

I think it's criminal to throw people in jail for having a couple of
joints. It's different if you're caught with pounds of the stuff,
obviously for sale/distribution, of course.

There's lots of reasons for blanking out about something. How many
times have any of us walked into a room, gotten there and forgotten why
we went there in the first place? I often have to go back to the room I
just left before I remember, Oh Yeah!

I was filling in a job application and couldn't remember the last name
of my former supervisor! But that's because she got married. I wasn't
around long enough after the wedding for it to stick in my brain. Like
you, I did finally remember.

I smoked it when I was in my late teens/early 20s, and my memory at the
time was stellar. My friends would come to me if they needed to pinpoint
what happened on such-and-such date.

About 10 years ago, I started having this experience where I would try
to remember how I'd spent the day just a few days prior, and I would draw
a complete blank. It was like looking into a black abyss - nothing there.
This started happening often. I even started to forget long conversations
about important subjects. It was pretty alarming (not to mention
embarrassing).

Then I started to notice that if someone refreshed my memory enough, it
would all come back intact. All I needed was a bit of extra prompting. As
you said, the information is still all there, but the pointers are getting
flaky. I think of it as: my memory-storage capability hasn't changed, but
the retrieval system doesn't work as well. I was so relieved when I
realized this! I had thought those memories were gone, but I just
needed more help locating them.
