Disabled Vet . . .

Respect to you mate!

Welcome to the forums, glad to have you here! :D

Hey brother,
Same shoes, different size(s),
I am retired Navy and was a sonar technician on board a navy destroyer when the first gulf war broke out. My name came up as a combat reconnaisance photographer (I was a navy journalist in my first hitch) and was assigned to a spec ops group. During a forward deployment, a mortar round land fifteen feet away from me. There were two shipmates standing between me and the mortar and they disappeared in a geyser of foam. I was knocked almost 25 yards to my left. It left me with my left leg twisted at the knee at a right angle, my right ear completly shot, my ribs and right harm concussed so bad it took almost six months for the bruising to leave.
And like Major Mike, they tried everything to relieve the pain and pressure.
Only MM does the trick. I had to move to Idaho to take care of my parents (My father was a soldier from WWII who had undiagnosed PTSD) and he evenutually took his own life. He felt that MM was evil too and I always wondered what his world would have been like if he'd tried MM for his issues.
It's good to see other vets fighting the fight for legalization.
I'm still in Idaho but will be moving back to my beloved Oregon soon.
Anybody know an MM doctor in eastern Oregon?
How about a nice lady?
Be blessed my friends, our day will come.

A couple of very moving stories here, respect to MajMike and celticpoet.

If only legislators would open their ears to people such as these surely we would finally have sensible and rational policies on MM.

Your story is unbelievably inspiring. I give you every ounce of respect I in my body. Good luck with everything in your future, and I hope you continue to realize the overwhelming amount of positive potential for this plant. God Bless, my friend. And happy smoking for all.

As millions have suggested for decades: Legalize it.

MM relieved my pain and helped my depression/PTSD, so much that I was able to rejoin the world. Now I am engaged (July 8 ceremony), and looking to the future with hope instead of dread.

Welcome.
