I don't know why it won't let me go back and add pictures like it used to. My electronics are always doing som**hing funny, like it's trying to prevent me from Posting these. It's annoying. These go with the previous Post.

Aaron's Asterisks Appendix: Letter № 1
=================================
*¹ - Bus Stop Robbinsdale
• Exciting picture, I know. The 14 goes downtown to Nicollet Mall that takes about a 40 minute ride.

*² - "Just Say No"
• I always think of Nancy Reagan; Link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Say_No

*³ - W**d Is Witchcraft Meme
• (Written 9/3) I had to screenshot this for some wizard points I turned in for ci******es here at Leprechaun school. I’m in a remedial course this semester. I use cannabis to control my emotions, but it does cause me to withdraw from being present around others. It brings on my social anxiety getting timid in conversations and overthinking too much. I struggle being present when I’m high, and I certainly isolate quite a bit when I do as well. It definitely prevents me from being mad or and allows me to be less frustrated. Sometimes it does induce paranoia, more so than m**h ever did for me. Wow, I’m not naming much for pro’s on this am I? I think it helped prepare me for handling what I began dealing with in August of last year and still do to a minor extent, but only because I’m writing about them broadly. Overall I’m reacting differently to it in the last year. I never used to get the paranoia, which was severe yesterday, because I had taken a day off from smoking. Then today I said in group I needed to give it a break and would and then smoked at 1pm.
• (Written 9/3) I’m putting it down for a hiatus, we’ll see how long...usually it helps, but every now and then I attribute some stuff I’d not like to be thinking about to it. In a way, smoking w**d prepared me for dealing some of the harder stuff I deal with. I don’t need it for motivation to write anymore, I wake up each day feeling ready too without any. Yeah, this is a scathing review of how I brought the boogieman into my house.
I just remembered tonight at Speedway, when I had $5.75 and the total came to $5.73, I received two pennies back and I thought of the boys. Anyways, I pulled out the $5 I made today Panhandling and my w**d pipe fell out at my feet and shattered on the ground and I just slowly brushed it under the counter with my foot. My Team made that happen. I think my Team’s involved on me breaking it, it’s all over me saying I was putting it down today and I didn’t. It actually helped today overall, but there was a moment or two when the tornado sirens went off that I knew I shouldn’t be thinking what I was thinking. The flipping tornado sirens go off right after 1:00pm as I was walking to Target to buy some pens and I smoked a hit and then a minute later I’m feeling good and the flipping tornado sirens go off. God caught me red handed and sounded the alarm. I was busted, so I thought I should put that in here. The overall big picture is that I do see that w**d can lead to problems with paranoia with me now. I’m just smoking what I have and I’m just not planning on buying anymore right away…but, my journal entries riding the bus to Minneapolis to buy dub’s at the bus stop are good reads when it comes time to edit and release those. I just don’t need it and I’ll try to give it a break for a week or so and see what happens. Buying it is a hassle. 2 hour round trip to the city and back.
