For me, it is quality journalism. I am a subscriber to The Athletic, PWInsider, Financial Times, The Economist, and Barrons.

With truly good fact-based journalism (and companies that pay their journalists a decent wage) dying off, it is something I allocate about $100 a month to as I firmly believe it is a critically important industry.

I would say porn but they deliver.

I support the music industry because I don't steal music through Napster anymore but then I stopped buying CD's with Apple Music so they don't get as much of my money.

I support the liquor industry but can't remember why.

I would support the marijuana industry if they would legalize it for HaHa/JoyJoy use. If they legalize it for medicinal use then I will support it by getting sick.…...incurably sick.

Any independent restaurant.
I pretty much refuse to eat at chain or fast/food places, whenever I break the rule it always tastes like I'm eating something akin to soylent green.

My beloved mother-in-law spent her last few weeks in our house. Yes, I had a wonderful mother in law. And we'd both laugh uproariously at mother in law jokes!!!!

Hospice was there for us, and gave us everything we needed, including plenty of meds to ease her last few weeks. I cannot say enough good about them.

Please don't judge me. I am a huge supporter of the Cannabis Industry. As many here know I'm Canadian. On October 17th cannabis becomes legal in my country, medicinal has been for some time. I am a medicinal user and have been for a while. First off, I want to say this ... I never operate a vehicle when using cannabis. I believe Canada has a real opportunity to become a leader in cannabis research for health benefits. Some of the benefits I get from cannabis are - sleep, anxiety (help me through some dark days after my wife left, I have extremely bad feet and used to get a sharp shooting pain, like being aggressively stuck by a hypodermic need (no longer a problem), I take no medicine, my left hand has a small shake that cannabis settles and other benefits...

I am a true believer that this is the first true alternative medicine that can change people's lives ...

The biggest problem is price, my medicinal supplier usually a hybrid that I like for $3.99/gram, they were out this week, I am not as well off financially as I was 6 months ago, so I may have to lo for compassionate pricing with a different company, if I lived in Detroit, there are compassionate clubs in which people who grow for medicinal purposes help people in financial difficulty. The cost can be expensive and many drug plans do not cover it yet. In Canada there are 2 insurance companies that cover it, plus 2 drug store chains that cover it for their employees.

I have discussed the pot stock with different people. Many believe cannabis companies that go public is a good investment. For me, I am hoping some serious research starts taking place in my country, medically cannabis works ... now we need research to show that it works ... I have discussed cannabis with my dr., he is 73 and a believer that it works ... he has seen patients get off opioids just by switching to cannabis ... and that makes him happy.
