If I let myself, I make cannabis look miraculous. It's amazing. After so long of seeing the world cloudy, one hit makes me see straight.

For the pain, I saw doctors for two years and took their medicines. They couldn't find one that works, and, within a month, I was going through very serious withdrawals and had to go back to my doctor for more medicine to calm me down from that. I had head trauma, in 1994, and not one prescription-drug did not incapacitate me.

Topamax and Baclofen were the final attempt.
Your story is miraculous. I wish the government would realize that all the stuff that they consider to be "safer" than marijuana is actually a billion times more hazardous than it is. Plus to make situations worse we have people out there that go and kill for......for what? Not the marijuana itself... But the money that marijuana produces on the street. If they legalize weed all this war over the plant would stop. We have people out here that use it for medication, yet they have to still be wary when they smoke/eat it. Why? Because the government says that it is bad for you.. Well, isn't beer, and cigarettes, and stuff like that? Remember when they outlawed alcohol? Well basically same thing. The "criminals" started to make it, and make profit on it for themselves. Thus strengthening the urge to be a "gang-banger"! I live on the bad side of town. The VERY bad side of town. In fact I am the only white person on this block. Not that I am making this a racist thing, but there are shootings all the time in this neiborhood and most of which are due to drugs. Drugs that produce money. (although in my opinion marijuana isn't a drug) People listen to rap that tells them that "Being a gangsta is cool, and sell 'dope' to make money. those that don't pay have to be killed, and yada yada yada." If they legalize marijuana like they need to it will not stop all the crime, but it will decrease it. Why won't they legalize it? Because they are making too much money off it right now. Think about it.. A person gets busted for weed. (1st offense) Probation. Everytime you go to see your P.O. you have to pay them which gives money to your local government. Not to count your court cost and all that other fancy garbage. So, in short they need to legalize weed and it will cut down on murders, gangs, and drug lords.
