Hello - I am new here and newly moved to Europe. I use the good herb to help treat my FM symptoms with remarkeable success. I am active in working to help legalize mj in the United States for medicinal purposes and to decriminalize it everywhere. After all, how can you just arbitrarily refer to an herb as "a drug?" It's like outlawing chamomile or skullcap. Ridiculous.
My grandfather, who did extensive research on marijuana before I was even born was convinced of it's being benign and he wrote that Henry Anslinger took up the hatchet against marijuana because he was going to lose his job/public visibility with the repeal of prohibition. It has since been an effective political ploy utilized by politicians who want to appear to be working in the public interest.
I'm really interested in meeting people who have used the good herb successfully to treat chronic pain and depression. I am 57 years old and will be attempting to grow my own while I'm here. Nice to meet you all.
