I have been smoking marijuana medicinally for a little over a year. Prior to that it was purely recreational. I had no idea that this site existed and am most grateful to have found it. Quite recently I tried to grow my own medicine most unsuccessfully. One, I have limited income. Two, limited knowledge. In fact, I was a little intimidated reading through some of the forums. Everyone seems to know so much! I am ready to learn. I suffer from chronic pain due to a swollen disc in my back, along with a few other things. At present, I am forced to take medications that make me sick because medicinal marijuana is not acceptable treatment in court. It doesn't matter that it works better. Anyway, to fight the system I desire education. So here I am. I'm Breebree. Nice to meet you all.
