Join the forum discussion on this postIt’s not that I have anything against cannabis. It’s not that I plan on permanently quitting using cannabis.
But right now I am feeling fine. I use cannabis primarily for headache relief, as well as stress relief.
I still have a valid medical marijuana recommend. But I have been feeling fine lately. Fine enough that I don’t need cannabis any longer at this point. I do still very much like cannabis. But between the expense, and some of the side effects of cannabis (such as short term memory issues and concentration), and the fact that I am actively taking pilot lessons I have decided to take a break.
Right now my family is learning Gaelic (via RosettaStone, GREAT software), and I am going back to school. So memory retention is very necessary right now.
That is not to say that people can not do well on cannabis. Because they certainly can. I passed many of difficult tests while using cannabis. My wife was a straight A student all throughout school, and got an academic scholarship to Westminster in Utah, and during her highschool years, she was stoned every day all day.
But this is a bit different. I will be piloting a plane. I will be taking off and landing at potentially busy airports during my training. So this is a much more serious situation than taking a math test in high school.
As I said, I am still a fan of cannabis in society. I still believe that cannabis is mostly harmless. I am still a supporter and activist for legalization. But the difference is, that I am going back to a point where I was 10-12 years ago, where I am back in school and I am trying to get the biggest bang for my buck with learning (both piloting and the Gaelic language).
I wanted to mention incase my time on this blog become more and more limited, which I suspect that it will.
However, PLEASE support Hempfest, and please consider sending good vibes to Vivian McPeak who is having a difficult time right now. Vivian is a living legend and the founder of Hempfest. He just had his car stolen (mind you a very special car). Look Vivian up on facebook to see the car, and to find out how you can help.
I just bought Vivian’s book “Protestival”. AWESOME book, with a DVD and an amazingly professional publishing. Good work! (see the book features in my video above)

One more note, is that I will be neglecting www.SensiLife.com too for awhile. But please check the archives if you are interested in past shows. I will probably be updating my youtube from time to time at: http://youtube.com/xcannabiscom
I had planned on showing off some of the shirts that I ordered from Jared Allaway, but they haven’t shown up yet. Please also check out Jared Allaway on facebook to see his shirt campaign. AWESOMENESS!
Peace, Pot and Liberty!!

About Reverend Ryan
I am Ryan aka "Reverend Ryan". I am a self styled minister and I do not belong to religion although I have been ordained as a minister. I merely have a relationship with the Lord. I started xCannabis.com for a number of reasons. #1 Because I had served jail time for misdemeanor pot possession in Utah and I found no justice #2 I feel prohibition is ruining the lives of so many people needlessly #3 I believe it is important to give a faith based perspective on cannabis and legalization.
