My name is Mike Graves. Been smoking herb since 25 July 1973, contact high since conception, lifetime daily smoker and cannabis advocate. My time in the military is the only time I didnt smoke daily since my sixth B-day. I have not missed a day in the last 11 years or so of getting high. I make money by tattooing, I feel very fortunate that I can make good money doing something I love. Creating something new each day, never a copy of yesterday.
