Young folks in pain
[[File:Pot.jpg]]

Tater's up in Denver visitin Marlene, and when we was out, we found they was three marijuana clinics right there on the same corner, three blocks from the house. Went in to each of em and introduced ourselves and got a tour. Tell you what, every single customer comin in, with one exception, was a healthy young feller, no more'n 25 years old. Them youngsters must be workin awfully hard to have so many aches and pains they need them some prescription marijuana. Probably the economy got em workin three or four heavy labor jobs just to stay afloat, doncha think?

And the clinic folks was mighty friendly. All three offered to fix us up with a doctor if we got some pains or ain't got no appetite or couldn't sleep. Kinda funny to see jars and jars of green buds lined up, with all them funny names, and hish-hash oil and yeller and black hish-hash, and keef and rolled up reefers, and tinctures and such. And freezers full of pot ice cream, and cookies and brownies... it's a real growin business.

Anyhow, Tater hopes them kids can get a little relief. Marlene, she could get her a prescription on account of her arthritis, but she don't want to bother. We got some aches and pain or can't sleep, we just treat it with wine, and that seems to work just fine. It's nice to see that they got some other alternatives goin, though.
