Everyone has to make thier own choices, and you should be proud of those choices! Im just a lifer and will be in my rocking chair with my bong sitting next to it whenim 80. Im about halfway there so its not that far off. Anyhow, its a way of life for me, Im not young anymore and have made my choices in life.

As for pain, I take morphine for my pain, lots of it, Im disabled, have had 9 surgeries and pot helps better then anything. I can take less morphine when I smoke and therefor I am more productive. The morphine puts me in bed daily, makes my mind wonder, I cant funtion at all, so I cant think of life without it. My doctor always asks how I can not take my full dose, I just say Im sleeping through my dose! I use to live in a medical pot state but now its hush hush, this needs changing. People need to relize that its the oldest medicine in the world and that it does help! Just like all meds dont work for everyone, pot wont be everyones cup of tea and they may not get any pain relief from it. For me, I wouldnt be here if it wasnt for pot!

Its this simple, the founding fathers left all the BS because of civil liberties and freedom, this is the problem today. I shouldnt have to worry, stittng at home, doing what I want to do, not bugging anyone, and at any moment I could be in jail for my actions! My god, do we all forget what this country is about? Leave me alone and I wont bother anyone! Thats why I live on my 160acre farm and I rarely leave it!

Anyhow, glad you overcame this, if thats what you feel is the best for you, Great! Anyone that cant understand that can go fly a kite! Its the ones that quit and then start knocking it, that makes me mad. How can you smoke for 5-10 years then turn around and tell others not too, BS! Glad to see you havent done any of that! Thanks, and good luck!
