Whoever got it was considered lucky. His Birthday is on the 17th! What a Legend! 🍀 You'll be missed Patrick may your leprechaun Spirit live on!

Please tell me the benefits of medical alcohol. Also show me where you get your facts from about cannabis and crime. Maybe we can compare alcohol related crimes to cannabis related crimes. I'm pretty sure alcohol related crimes are far more dangerous. Have you ever seen alcoholic after cirrhosis of the liver? I have and it's extremely difficult to see. Yet I've never met anyone who smokes cannabis daily go through these terrible things. Also I don't smoke cannabis in my basement I smoke with my neighbors in the front yard.
