It is my understanding that smoking cannabis in Geneva is now legal, or at least tolerated. I think this is something that has come to pass in just the past few years, though. <p></p><i></i>

Now THAT IS SCARY and I pray that it isn't possible, that it was a cruel fear-tactic, designed to freak us out. Today I will add a little prayer to St. Fiacre, patron of gardeners and send my love to Bl. Padre Pio, who sometimes visited his spiritual children in the form of a delicious aroma of tobacco. The story is vague, so hopefully it is not true. <p></p><i></i>
