    Raw-frogging reality isn’t as hopped up as it seems. Still, it beats toad-telling truths and conspiracy-croaking cabals.

    I have some funny stories about my Alice B. Tokeless Brownies, my herbal chicken, and Italian salad dressing from back in the day. Too long to relate here, but maybe I’ll write a cannabis cookbook, someday.

Whereas, the people in the mountain regions, speak in a much quieter, clearer, and slower dialect, making it far easier to comprehend – except that I often have to strain to hear them.
