We'll be getting reports from Oregon soon. If we can believe the reports, drug use in US high schools has been going down in recent years anyway. My prediction is based on the fact that the market is pretty much saturated, in the US anyway, and if you want it—whatever—it's out there and easy to get, especially in high schools. We will see. Ask your doc if a blocking shot is an option in your case. The shot does not go all the way into the middle of the spine where the cerebro-spinal fluid is because that is a somewhat dangerous injection. The expectation of pain is much worse than the actual pain of the needle going in and one shot lasts for two to three years. It still hurts if I walk a long way but I can ride my bicycle with no pain at all.

My niece is in HS and I recently found out she was a pothead. Damn kids have better connections than I do. I think the technology is making it harder for kids to be found out.

We were pretty clever too. I suspect the powers that be want to keep it available to certain populations too.

That's what I've heard; everything is available in high school. Too bad I can't go within a mile of one. That is a weak joke as I have no interest in high school kids.

They've got e-bikes too. Peddle/exercise what you can then coast the rest.

I might try one of those in a few years but while I'm still spry will stick to my trusty Cannondale. One reason is that a lot of housewives use those e-bikes, sometimes with a baby seat in the front and back. I've seen photos of Arnold the Terminator riding one in LA though.

I don't know what e-bike you're talking about but there's a HUUUUUUGE variety of electric bicycles and modifications. In fact there would be no shortage of modifications for your Cannondale.

You can improve this search to not be about Cannondale e-bikes, but more specific to your bike:

Meanwhile here are generic bike modifications adding various electric components:

As you see there's no end to the variety of sizes, propulsions, battery forms, switches, gadgets, and other modular systems. I customized a couple in Vancouver 11 years ago. It wouldn't have been done well or quickly without my uncle's electric knowledge, so either start strong or don't get customize crazy on your first try.

I would love to have one of those again.

All right, I will look at the links but I feel the same about electric bikes as Mae West felt about marriage: Marriage is a wonderful institution but I'm not ready for an institution yet. Thanks.

My point is, you can keep your bike and just add a kit to it, from small to major. When you're ready. No deep commitment other than the expense and installation time.
