5. It wasn't so fun for me, when I was 18, and beaten on the back of my head...

...pistol whipped actually, then after being beaten to the ground, my head bashed against the curb.

And, after the hospital stay, my subsequent arrest was not only for felony possession of weed (one whole ounce), but for 5 other fabricated felony charges about how I deserved the beatdown I got.

Thanks to my favorite aunt (RIP Aunt Marie), I got off from everything except for a $500 fine, all other charges dismissed.

Long story short.

Good times.

So I appreciate the legal dispensary/delivery system available to me now.
