And then we were still kind of bearing ourselves out of heroin post Vietnam, and there's all these drugs, and so this war, quote unquote, on drugs, which is really just a war on the marginalized because that's essentially what the crack epidemic was. But we're not going to have that conversation here today. There was this really strong campaign for the youth of the day, which would have been my generation of kids and peers to say no to drugs, to just say no

So it's very heavy in your body, which is cool because you can take it with more CBD if you're looking to manage pain. So that was my introduction into it. And after that, I got one more brownie from him. And then for my birthday that year, I decided to go to Denver where it is legal. And I got edibles while I was there. From the dispensary.

And it just makes me think that I'm on the right track here. I knew I'd heard this type of conversation somewhere, but I just wanted to speak to it in my own personal way and bring it to swell to see what your thoughts and perspectives are around drug use. Just was interested in how you felt about it or if you just feel completely indifferent about it and it's just not your thing. Either way, that's cool too. But thanks for listening through all four parts
