My mom got back from a mission trip she was on for a couple of months. I've seen her and talked to her a few times but she's always been moving around so she hasn't been home. It's really great to have her home. She is a person of faith but very down to earth and humble about it.

So I was talking to her today and we were catching up. I told her that I was interested in working towards getting off of my medication. I take Paxil CR @ 25mg every day. I don't have any side effects from it, that is until I stop taking it. After I ran out of my prescription one week after being on it for a month I would have flashes of vertigo. Not horrible but not pleasant and certainly distracting. After doing some reading I decided this was not something I want to put into my body any longer. I explained to her these things to her. I also told her that I'd been on a half-dose for 2 months now without any ill-effects.

I went on to explain that the positive changes I've been experiencing in my life, both with my medication and with school, work, etc... were due to the fact that I was regularly consuming clean, potent cannabis. I have also lost 50lbs since January! I believe strongly in the anti-depressant and long-term positive effects of cannabis and I think the proof is starting to show.

"Cannabis? How do you spell that?" Yes, that was the question. We had talked about it before but not since I had become so educated on the subject. We briefly discussed scientific studies on cannabis, legal issues, vaporizers, growing, strains, etc... I really think I got a chance to give her a larger picture of the world that is cannabis. I'm sure we'll discuss it again in the future. Hopefully I'll have a new vault of knowledge to unload on her.

She has known I smoke for about a year now. She disapproved of it strongly but didn't stand in my way. I have always been honest with her since it came out and it has really helped. She asked me if I smoked every day and I told her that I did. Who knows where we'll go from here.

Just thought I'd share this. I thought it was cool to be able to talk to my mom so knowledgably about cannabis and get her to ask questions about it. Government propaganda can't touch that.
