Thank you very much for your honesty and insight. I haven't smoked in 25 years, but I'm getting ready to grow a few little plants just for me to deal with pain and depression. It's nice to hear from other folks on how helpful it has been for them. (It's a mighty big plunge I'm making being on the conservative east coast...) Doctors have not been a big help for a lot of my problems and they're afraid to prescribe the 'really good' drugs for anyone anymore, there's such fear of abuse and people going around just trying to score drugs. It makes it hard for those of us who really suffer from pain and illness. I've had one doctor tell me I should get electroshock for depression -- no way that! For get it.

Cheers!
