@LoadedDog congrats - you won the lottery! After all that time you should not have any after effects, have that cough checked out, pls.! Did you buy the vaporiser, and are you using it?
Even though my father was a smoker, I was never interested in smoking, never did any of the 'funny stuff' either, (except 2 experiments out of curiosity) - indulged a little bit in drinking (1 glass of good wine per night, after my girl died, but have stopped that now, too - I believe alcohol is much maligned but also misused . . . it makes me giggly and laughter is a good thing IMO ) re 'Funny Stuff' I read all the books by Castanedas and never twigged that they were instructions for drug users, just read them as straight shamanic insights - they are full of good philosophical stuff.
I never had enough time to bask in the sun, or anywhere much - I do sit on my back terrace now in the mornings, and listen to all that Mother Nature has to offer, but we do have a coolish winter here (Perth) - actually the only time I had a good tan was for my eldest daughter's first wedding - I made the girls' dresses, including mine, for which a tan was essential!!!
Just watch your skin for skin cancer, I have to have mine checked - all left for the New Year!! Have a great New Year Taurisk
