Politics is stressful and weed (growing and smoking) imo is to relax and feel better. Smoking helps my ulcerative colitis and stress makes me have worse symptoms. I come to this forum to keep a grow journal and look at other people's grows which is relaxing. I understand there is international conflict as well as political unrest here in the US and issues can't be ignored forever but why mix it with weed except smoking to forget about it for a bit? I'm not saying a weed site shouldn't have a politics section. I am just curious why different people like to talk politics on a weed site?
