Today I was really stoned & a police officer talked to my friend and was saying I seemed off because he was acting "nice", but it seemed fake to me. I just didn't feel like looking them in the eyes. My good buddy used aspergers as an excuse LOL, he knew I wouldn't care. I muttered in a playful singing voice "aint got no birf-certificate on me now", but I didn't notice there was a cop there who heard. They treated us a lot differently tonight.

I enjoyed Canada Day because I felt like I got a lot of good learning & growing done but I was kind-of dissapointed I didn't get mushrooms. I havn't done a big enough dosage yet, but I have had really intense experiences from them personally.

Weed and mushrooms are like the sacrament drugs to me, I believe they are meant for the "protectors of the earth". The rest is shamanism, but it can get pretty scary if you don't have a strong sense of faith.

I once had a cop ask me if I was on anything( I was stoned but thats besides the point) I said no and then she asked why I was not looking her in the eyes so I said it was an issue I've had since I was a kid and after that she stopped with that line of questioning and just kept asking if I was sure I was not on anything. I kept saying no so they ended up having to let me go. I would have thought she might have brought up the redness of my eyes before the lack of eye contact...

I think it would be more socially acceptable if people thought I was a stoner rather than an autistic.

Well being a stoner is just as socially unnacceptable.......though most people in general probably do not care about either and aren't going to hate someone over it. Its intresting that half the population(probably more) do not live up to societies standerds yet it is the standard most strive to acheive. I don't get it but that is how it seems to work.

Well try getting a job if you are a stoner because you will have to pass the drug test. The fact is that the people who are in positions of power hate stoners. The hate mongers show no compassion and zero tolerance. In 10 years of drug testing I have found only one employer that was willing to postpone a drug test for 3 days to give a stoner a chance to sober up. Bosses also have no tolerance for mental illness. If Boss suspects that you have a mental illness to them that means you are a danger to yourself and to others so they think they have every right to fire you.

I have had jobs before and have never been drug tested, So chances are I will be able to find something.......right now I am just going to college and living on whats left from loans & grants. But yeah its not so much that those in positions of power hate stoners........its more like there is more profit from treating us like crimminals and behaving like all mentally ill people are psychopaths. pharmacutical companies for instance don't want cannabis legalized because they know how many medicinal benifits the plant has.

Even worse was the fact that, when I thought they were gone...

I told my friend... "did you notice that when you don't stare at the cops in the eyes, they just ignore you... but when you pay attention to them all of a sudden they are there."

And while I was saying this the cop comes around the corner, I think they had been trying to spy on us.

In today's society it is so easy to make smoking weed sound like a harmless thing, when you don't drink & are a peaceful person.
And if there's a cop just treat the joint like a cigarette, and don't let their presence disrupt your conversation.

You have to know who should know your a stoner and who shouldn't. My home-share parents don't know, but one of the university students living here does - and he's muslim. x-D I smoke joints all the time at the front door.
