Thanks so much for the advise, it will go to good use. I am finding mixed areas of pain relief and some just stays the same. Maybe I either need more or I need more time. I hear story after story of immediate releif, but not for me, it takes time to kick in, which is fine. I do intend to try my hand at growing. I guess I need to poke around here for the best way to get started with that. I appreciate very much that I live in a state where medical use is permitted, altho it does concern me the amount of apparent misuse of it, but everyone has a right to do what they feel is right. I just hope it remains a good example for other states yet to approve laws of their own.
