4/20

Recreational consumption of Cannabis Flower is newly legal in New York State this year.
This helpful plant will help to heal our community in many ways.
Please indulge responsibly.
Remember, every time you buy local cannabis products, your purchase helps to put a dent in the profits of South American cartels trying to steal American jobs, and wealth. One thing I find ironic is that before cannabis legalization, the only thing stopping illegal poison coming in from China and South America was the DEA.
Now they have to deal with the IRS, and everyone knows that the IRS always gets their money!
Buy American.
Enjoy!

Sixty-Four

Peace is easily maintained;
Trouble is easily overcome before it starts.
The brittle is easily shattered;
The small is easily scattered.

Deal with it before it happens.
Set things in order before there is confusion.

A tree as great as a man’s embrace springs from a small shoot;
A terrace nine stories high begins with a pile of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles starts under one’s feet.

He who acts defeats his own purpose;
He who grasps loses.
The sage does not act and so is not defeated.
He does not grasp and therefore does not lose.

People usually fail when they are on the verge of success.
So give as much care to the end as to the beginning;
Then there will be no failure.

Therefore the sage seeks freedom from desire.
He does not collect precious things.
He learns not to hold on to ideas.
He brings men back to what they have lost.
He helps the ten thousand things find their own nature,
But refrains from action.
