Absolutely! It is criminal the amount of influence the drug companies have. I was on so many medications before I got on the registry.... Number of traditional prescriptions I take daily now - ZERO.

Now the government was paying for all those meds through medicare/medicaid, plus all the doctor visits to get, maintain, and change dosing on those prescriptions right? Some of those meds by themselves cost the government thousands of dollars a month!:wtf:

I always felt guilty about my personal burden on the American Taxpayers. But this year I don't have to feel guilty cause I have a Christmas present to the American Taxpayer. I got on the MMJ registry. Now I do not go to the mainstream doc unless I need antibiotics, am off all prescriptions, and have even quit tobacco (been struggling to do that for more than a decade!). :hippy:

The government is saving many thousands of dollars a year on me alone, and yet I have to struggle to obtain this money saver for the American taxpayer. That much cut in government spending on the part of an individual... I should get a freaking medal or something LOL
