• I’ve been in recovery for a long time now, almost 11 yrs. I know how hard it is to give up the weed. If you find you need more support there are people out there that have “been there done that” and offer lots of love. Best of luck!

• From reading some of these forums I’ve come to the conclusion that the old rule of all things in moderation seems to hold true. Extremism has never served a good purpose!

• I buy sunflower seeds pretty reguarly at Wild Oats or my favorite little natural foods store here in town and I haven’t noticed any problems. I guess I find sources I can trust and I rely on them to offer good products.

  in sunflower seeds Comment by kevin7197

• Pure essential oils are a misnomer as they aren’t really “oils”. Completely safe and will not stain your clothes. However, do not confuse essential oil products sold as fragance oils. These DO have oils added!
