Here is why I smoke cannabis. I never until I just took this photograph realized just how my left knee was aligned. Now this is after what...a few hundred thousand human miles.....I'm stunned. :eek:
Maybe I should make a copy of this and take it to court, and ask how long they would have lasted on this thing, and if they're going to deny me my medicine. I don't know what else I could do to prove my medical need. :thumbsup:
I am bad to the bone in many ways!!!!! :lol5:
I was born knock-kneed. Every time I walk; everything pulls to the left...:jointsmile:
Mine has me going in circles!!! :S2:

Since I posted a graphic image to some, it is quite graphical, I'll add another tid bit. this knee is the result of cannabis prohibition. Its the knee that I have spoken of on other threads on this forum. I, at any time, look at it as cruel and unusual punishment.
I'm denied VA benefits because I smoked marijuana in the Marines. I could have committed far worse offenses should I have been of that bent, but I wasn't.
I just smoked weed...didn't make me a bad Marine...made me a criminal...got me denied much in my life.....was a catalyst for some of my alcohol behavior....a common problem with many, many vets......
I hope some politician sees it, or you can e-mail it around. I don't care, but those who support denying me or anyone else for that matter the use of cannabis for our ailments supports cruel and unusual punishment and does not deserve to be serving the public in any capacity. I can only ownder how long they would have lasted. I've lasted 42 years and counting. :twocents: more
My wife works for the VA and she just advised me if you did not get a dishonorable discharge you can fight that now.
I've been fighting them for 30 + years. Deny, Deny, Deny. Marijuana, marijuana, marijuana. Even the lying, politically appointed Navy Review Board. I got a BCD and I have issues with how it was issued without the signature of the Sec of the Navy as required. :wtf:
And then there are the friends.....:( .....I'm still waiting, and it killings my back!!! :D

this is my main med there are people out there with worse conditions and still they are denied the system is completely wrong
I can follow how its effecting you similar to how mine effects me. Its no longer just a left knee problem, its a right knee intermittent problem from picking up the slack for the left knee over time. It now effects my back, like yesterday and today, it will effect my ankles, feet, hips, the whole freaking skeletal alignment. :(
And its all reason and cause for good days and bad days. Bad days set in when it overwhelms the attitude and depression and anger over the pain set in. Chronic pain has an anger thing with it. Like the old tale about the lion with the thorn in his paw that he couldn't get out. :thumbsup:

I was going to file another appeal, and I was getting ready to work on it. I have been trying to avoid legal hassles like the plague, especially concerning marijuana. But, as we all now know how some events turned, it seems that plan also has been smashed against the rocks. Some people just don't realize how their actions can really change some one's life. Kind of like needing to drag them down where they are. My only hope is to somehow make it disappear so I can get the relief and justice I need. :twocents:
If not the war continues and I'm on the worst end of it. :stoned:

Shows how insane we have become as a populace. :twocents:more
