The creaky stoner jokes are officially in the past, now that medical marijuana is so serious in Connecticut that nearly 5,000 patients are getting various amounts of daily relief. That’s a landmark number of patients, which will only increase as more doctors finally get on board and more people with chronic conditions give medical-grade cannabis a try.

Weekend Fun!
This weekend is an emotional one for my wife especially. My oldest daughter starts kindergarten next week and as a parent this is a big step for our little girl. My wife is a little sad that my oldest is getting so big, it was like yesterday we were in the hospital with our first child, not knowing what expect. The books never really prepare you for being a parent. For me, … [Read more...] about Weekend Fun!
VA Appointment
I went to the Veteran Affairs Hospital the other day for my bi-monthly therapy session to talk about my issues and to see how the medication is working. They ignored the fact that I want to start weening off the prescription cocktail they have me on. The stuff knocks me on my face for 5 hours at least, so I have to try to sleep when I can. I work nights and I'm lucky to get 4 … [Read more...] about VA Appointment

In The News – Federal Medical Marijuana?
In this article by the Huffington Post, the author discusses 10 reasons why she feels we will have Federal Medical Marijuana. #6 has me really interested as it related to the Veteran Affairs (VA) and prescribing Medical Marijuana. I would be extremely happy if I could just go to the VA and get my script refilled annually, instead of having to pay the $150 for a doctor to read … [Read more...] about In The News – Federal Medical Marijuana?
Can I get some sleep!
The last few days have been extremely stressful at work, things just haven't been running smoothly. The work volume is just through the roof. Doesn't help that I rarely get to sleep during my work week since I work the overnight shift. On a typical day I'll get 4 hours of broken sleep, which at least grants me time to spend with my children. The other day, I thought of Greg C … [Read more...] about Can I get some sleep!
Life is too busy!
So it's Tuesday and I feel like I need a vacation. I didn't get the chance to see my kids that much yesterday, which was a real bummer for me. The girls are my world. I love taking them outside to play or to the park. They are so full of life and not a care in the world. I miss that kind of innocence, it makes me want to give them everything I can. My parents tried to … [Read more...] about Life is too busy!
Happy 4th of July
Dabbin Dad here, I hope you all had a fun and safe holiday. I decided to take the day the day off and have a nice BBQ with the family and friends, but that didn't stop me from sampling some fine new strains I picked up. More reviews are on the way! I had an amazing time talking to some new friends and actually got the hook up on a recipe for medicinal potato leek soup. I … [Read more...] about Happy 4th of July

Morning Wake and Bake
I decided to wake up and medicate this morning, before starting my exciting day of errands with the family. Home Depot and a local grocery store... Hahaha. I started with a half-green bowl of the Sour Diesel from the night before. Not a bad start, before taking a hit off the rig of this sweet tasting Green Crack wax I've been holding onto for a while. A review will be out … [Read more...] about Morning Wake and Bake
