With the New Year upon us, many of us have embarked on the old tradition of setting New Years Resolutions. We do a little inventory on our lives and determine to change what we don’t like about ourselves, our behaviors or environment. We’ll try to ad that which is missing, or subtract that which is useless or harmful in one way or another. In general, I think this self reflection a good thing to do. But why limit it to just once a year?

Lo and behold, Santa delivered this episode directly to your device while you were sleeping! What a sneaky and jolly good fellow.
Christmas itself has changed more than my opinions about it. As I get older, and now have a child of my own, my relationship to this holiday continues to change.

I couldn't decide what to title this episode so as not to give it all away. There were several good title contenders: Doobie Dilemma, Doobie Dunce, Kush Core, Cannabis Coma, Cannabis Creep, Cannabis Corpse, Moderate Mary, From Mary to Buddha, Taking the Bud out of Buddha etc. the list could go on and on. Ultimately, I decided on Cannabinoid Android for the reference to the Radiohead song 'Paranoid Android', which I love.
In this episode I discuss some of the things which have been both a help and a hindrance to me over the years and what I plan to do about it.
Stay to the end, I've got something new up my sleeve.

The big news is revealed. Plus, how do you pull yourself out of a creative funk? What have I been doing since my last recording?
Just the act of freely expressing oneself, even if only to oneself, is extremely liberating. If you stick with it until the steam subsides, you just might get to the root of the issue.

Recorded on August 3, 2023, the third anniversary of the podcast. This episode sat untouched for nearly 4 months before I edited it. This episode is a bit of a three year recap, some things I've noticed, learned, and would like to change. Why has it taken 3 and a half months to edit this episode? We'll talk about that in Episode 25. Stay tuned.

She is here! The light has emerged out of the darkness.
All things are held in a state of balance. Picture the Chinese symbol of Yin Yang. Equal parts black and white, which chase one another in a circle infinitely. They coexist. They are intertwined. Not a single thing is exempt from this. There is a dark side to everything light, but there’s also a light side to everything dark. There is always a positive with a negative. We see it in electrical currents.. We see it in the breath, the in flow and out flow as the heart pumps blood throughout our bodies. These energies exist in every single atom with electrons and protons. These atoms make up the entire existence of everything. Nothing is exempt. So why should we be surprised when this constant up and down manifests throughout our lives?

These are my final words as a childless man. Our baby is due to be born this week and I am equally excited and nervous. I just want to do good by this human being. Also, some big news is revealed at the end. Stick around.
