Hola Jan
Lots to process. Fun and informative.
I too do the try out with new words, absolutely.
Kratom is a new substance for me, scary. As for the horse tranq, I've heard of this. I can only imagine what it must do to ones heart...
I think, and here I go out on the proverb limb: when in doubt do the weed. hell yeah. even far above alcohol. Goes without saying alcohol has played roles of merciless hell in my far flung and spread out families...
Amazing info you provide Jan. The world need such info. Your new vegan friends helped open my eyes. No judgment from me on any of it. Just people choosing their lifestyles and preferences, which I think is wonderful.
An odd thing happened to me after my cancer surgeries: I ceased being a rather strict vegetarian, this after a meatless decade. My body simply dictated to me that 'you need more protein', just as simple as that!
Have a good one.
