dank - with all due respect to your karmic viewpoint, and the relative inexperience of your years, it is time to shut this particular thread down. What started as you looking for investors to help you accomplish your dream of owning a hookah lounge has now devolved into Tom Cruise arguing that mental health issues don't exist.

Wrong. They do.

Some are environmental, some are chemical imbalances, others are mis-wired genetics, and still others are a reaction to life experiences and trauma. And very little of it is anything that can be addressed with positive thinking or cure thyself with thy beliefs kind of snake handling foolishness. It is experiences in that kind of real world that will teach you perhaps the patience to listen to others and learn from what they know, your ego is really not doing you any favors. Until you have wrestled the shotgun out a friend's mouth because the demons were just getting to be too much, watched a loved one deal with the nightmares of PTSD, or tried to keep a severely autistic child from hurting themselves as they try to escape this reality that is so foreign to them, you are just sounding like an ignorant child mouthing off. Don't cheapen yourself this way.

And back onto the topic at hand... kill this thread now. If any investor came here to do their due diligence (you will need to know that phrase really, really well soon!) and has the opportunity to read your philosophical whimsies, unless you are dealing with the New Age self-empowerment types described above, you are shooting yourself in the metaphysical head by continuing this thread. Decaying into a series fo petty arguments on unrelated topics does nothing for your dream building, except maybe feed some emotional masochistic need you have for abuse.

All I'm saying is that mental disorders happen for a reason, drugs treat them, the soul can cure them.

I have kept myself from trying to escape this reality, I think first hand experience counts for something.

You gain experience as you get older, it doesn't mean age gives you experience.

It's a shame. College would teach you logic.

Anyway, it's clear even if you had every dime needed to fund your Hookah lounge, you would smoke it all away and the business would fail. No one will invest in that.

I do believe I have lost intelligence chatting with you. Undecided

I've taught myself logic just fine, talking to people like you. How would I smoke it all away if I don't even buy weed anymore?
