Today is a calmer day on the seas of life over here for me, so I decided to take sheba to one of my favorite locations in Cherokee park: The Chauffeurs Rest! This is a very special part of this park for me, as it is home to the tree of wisdom, which has been featured in a couple of previous Terpene Therapy episodes! I like to come here whenever it is time to reflect on pivotal moments of life and I usually come away with a semblance of an idea on how to move forward in a happy and healthy way! I hope you are having a good day whenever and wherever you happen to listen to this!

Today's hike is located at Caperton Swamp aka Old Gregg's Lair. I always like to come here to reflect on life whenever things get very heavy, as they have been for the past week. Luckily over the years I've learned to navigate rough seas and this section of my life will play out as it does; just as every other section has. I wish the best for my friend, psychosis is no joke and it can take a long time to come back from. I have experienced it myself when I lived in an unhealthy and misaligned way, and I stillave detrimental effects from it 12 years down the line. I am grateful for nature being a grounding environment to think in, and there was also a cool wildlife sighting! I hope you have a good day whenever and wherever you happen to listen to this, and check on your homies. It's a tough, yet beautiful world out there.

This week has been a bit of a rough one, I had to help a good friend of mine through a psychotic break with reality after a relapse and now my brain feels burnt out. These types of situations reactivate some of the more severe PTSD responses that I normally can ground myself from but haven't been able to do as successfully this past week. But thankfully I have the group ride and the ability to go for hikes still, and that does help me cope with extremely stressful situations in a healthy way. I hope you're having a good day whenever and wherever you happen to watch this episode!

Today's hike ended up turning into me talking about the lore of Sheba's existence. She's such a good girl and I realized I had never really talked about her in detail! It was fun to go down memory lane and think about some memories with her that I normally don't even think about! It was incredibly hot today (103ºF) so we didn't record as long as we normally do!

This week I decided to experiment with another biking episode while on the way home from another group ride! This one was special though, we rode out to a community center out in the west end of Louisville to help clean out some stuff that was taking up space that can be better utilized once cleared out! Giving back to the community in a positive way is a beautiful thing! I also had an opportunity to experience the new Billy Strings record at the new guestroom records location! Overall it was a very solid day!

This week Sheba and I hiked the Jim King trail! She's been loving the relatively cooler weather recently and has been acting extra hyped to be outside! She's also been trying to eat groundscores and I have to be extra attentive so she doesn't eat anything that could be bad for her. I also reflect on the past weekend's 40 mile bike ride with the group that I've been riding with the past few weeks! It's great to have a like minded community for biking, I've spent most of my life on the bike by myself! It's a good change of pace!

This past week was a pretty good week all things considered! I went for a cool bike tour of "dark history" around the city on Saturday! The day before I got to play mini golf with some good friends of mine too and we spent the whole time reminiscing on some shenanigans from many years ago. Lots of alphabet soup was being eaten at the time. I also share some of my thoughts on the recent cannabis legislative changes in Texas. It's truly insane, but on the other hand, pack prices are likely going to increase down there! I hope you're having a good day whenever and wherever you happen to listen to this!

This week I decided to get a camera mount and attempt a cycling episode! The audio on this one was fun to navigate during editing but I think I made it work! This ride is the cooldown from a 7 mile sprint race that was held by this group ride that I found on Instagram. It's cool to have a community of people who are into biking the same way that I am and I'm glad that it was a welcoming environment! Riding solo is fun, but riding with a big group is fun in a different way! I hope y'all are having a good day whenever and wherever you happen to listen to this!

This week has been a pretty good week all in all! Got to hang out with Justin and Billy Wayne at the comedy show on Saturday and that was an entirely enjoyable experience! It was the finals for the comedy competition at Planet Of The Tapes and every comedian there killed it! I'm also excited for the group bike ride that I'll be going on this week, it's going to be a lot of fun! I hope y'all have a good day whenever and wherever you happen to listen to this!

This past week has been an interesting one in the legislative landscape regarding cannabis and the laws that surround it in America. There was a bill introduced last week called the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act. This bill creates a framework for how a nation wide legal cannabis market could look and provides a fair tax structure for small business vs. large businesses. 

There also seems to be a continuance of the shift in the consciousness outside of the cannabis culture in terms of acceptance of the plant and its uses. Anyone within the culture already is aware of the many uses, but when people outside of the culture are beginning to take notice and think about what reality could look like with cannabis truly integrated into the day to day world, it  means people outside the bubble are beginning to see things differently. 

This is in reference to the HR Expert Jean Seawright publicly stating that companies should begin to reexamine their cannabis use policies in regards to medical patients; with a doctors note stating that patients are able to function and preform their work duties while having cannabis in their system, there should be no reason to prevent or terminate someone's employment.
