i can totally relate to all of this being a recreational smoker for years staying incognito...then in a second life changes...bad skiing accident ends in spinal cord injury....all the docs do is throw meds to counteract meds....i started smoking a little after about 6 months of heavy duty narcs and found that i felt better using MJ than all of the shit docs prescribed....so i got my script and started to grow and it actually pulled me out of my depression being able to start to things for myself again...but unfortunately i married to a religious bitch and she thought i had to act like a leper growing and could not associate with other growers to learn...so the new battlefront was on...the strange part was that my parents who do not drink or smoke anything could see the improvements and help that using MJ for pain and therapy in growing...i was able to quit on my own MS-Contin, Dilaudid, Lexapro(the hardest due to side affects)and many other meds although i do have complete support and approval of my use of MMJ from my doctor from years of monitoring me now...i would consider my self a heavy smoker...1 oz+ per week and my blood pressure is 105/60 on average and i am almost 46 years old and smoking for 26 years now...and not using any heavy pain meds other than ibuprofen once or twice a weak when the back muscles are really sore!

hey personified...i hit your skype back...give shout when you can! :thumbsup:
