Thanks Tobythecat,
it was a long time ago and a lot of water has passed under the bridge... and no, no negative impact for anyone really... both my children are now grown and are very well adjusted members of society... I still enjoy the mellow feelings from time to time so I don't forget what it's like to float... I'm sure at some point common sence will provail and the world will realise the benifits that can be gained from the humble herb.
