And Merry Christmas to you too, Slider.  Thanks for the intellectual
stimulation over the past few decades.  A shame this place is a ghost
now of its former self, but a ghost is better than "never was...never
will be".

Take good care.  I've got family over at the moment, lucky me :)
By the way, did I tell you I have a prescription now for 30g of flower
each month for my insomnia?  It was pretty easy to get the
prescription, next best thing to full legalisation.  It's good too,
imported from Canada, 26% THC, a puff a night and no more waking up at
02:00 and struggling to get back to sleep.  natural too, proper REM,
deep sleep, all the alphas etc - and a good stone as well.

I think you have the same in the UK.  Give it a belt, much better
quality than illicit, cheaper too.
