2. Thanks. It was created by my late best friend...

...who had been an animator at Hanna-Barbera back in the day.

RIP Brad.

3. Thanks guys

We had so much fun listening to this at Dana's spot in NYC, #9 Bleecker St. Funny thing is Dana was a strictly fat joints guy so the Bong stuff isn't correct. But the video is so epic otherwise including him stopping to smoke at first chance. Thank you ever so much and condolences about your friend.

6. I know Aron, but haven't heard from him in quite some time...

...how is he doing, if you happen to know?

7. Aron is plugging along

He is a grandfather. Currently he is on the warpath as he isn't pro legalization, he misses the old days when it was underground. I think he was snubbed from speaking at this years first Saturday in May smoke in as the event now has sponsors and people with ties to the emergent legal industry are pushing away the mavericks. Dana will get to speak. I don't know why they chose to tell Pieman it would be a no, rather than let him speak briefly or whatever.

8. Thanks for the update on Aron...

...I guess I'm not too surprised he's against the "corporate takeover" of cannabis in the legal states.

Personally, I love that I can order online and have it delivered, or just travel a mile to pick up at the store.

Lately, it seems that prices have been coming down some, which is also nice.

And I don't mind paying the fairly steep taxes, which go to good use, so I'm told.

Far better than buying black market weed with the $$$ going to the fucking Mexican cartels!

Not to mention that I don't have to worry about being thrown in jail anymore for simple personal use possession.

Been there, done that (along with being beaten by the cop during the arrest) 50 years ago and it definitely sucked.
