Greetings to all,
Introductions for what it's worth...
I am a man in my 40s, been smoking weed off and on for 27 years. (mostly off). Recently I have had what I can only describe as a religeous experience...
I was diagnosed with lupus about 10 years ago. I have been on every medication known to man, including chemo (massive doses). Sometimes it all worked, sometimes not. but the consistent problem was severe pain, stiffness, and nausea from the chemo. When it was bad it was like the worst case of flu you've ever been around. I was bed ridden for years in the beginning.
Not too long ago my father in law was diagnosed with cancer. During a visit he told me about the medicinal uses of cannibas and how it helped him with his chemo treatments and pain. Now I have to admit, I thought it was BS when I heard it. I had smoked some schwag a few times during my treatments and it didn't do much at all. But he told me about the different effects of some of the higher end stuff, and then gave me a little.
After trying it, the pain and stiffness eased off dramatically, the nasuea was flat out GONE, I wasn't depressed or worried....to put it mildly, it was different than anything I had smoked in 25 years (since I was young, before the drug war was in full effect and you could GET stuff like that). But again, I wondered if it was just my brain trying to rationalize it all and use it as an excuse or a crutch.
Next day, I tried it again. The curtain lifted, the angels sang, and I now realize fully that my government has been lying all these years. if you've ever seen "The Matrix", it's like taking the red pill!!!! Ignorance is bliss for most people, and that's how "they" win.
I am enlightened and actually somewhat angry about it all. To think how needlessly I suffered all those years, and how my father in law was considered a criminal for what he did...he's passed on now. it is enough to make anyone furious.
This has to change. I live in a state where the police and general population are so ignorant they don't see any difference between cannibas and crack. What the hell am I supposed to do? Suffer because the government knows better for me and the rest out there just like us?
I won't do it. I can't do it. This is MY life and it's ticking away every second. I am going to do whatever I have to do to survive and enjoy what's left of my life. After further review I am in strong support of full legalization. The shame is I had to get this sick before I found the truth. How many won't?
Luckily I found this site, and found a DEEP wealth of information on the subject. I would lead the charge if I knew how.
oh well, at any rate, I'm a more enlightened person today!
