I am a daily, long term mj smoker, but today, I smoked more than usual as I was feeling unpleasant symptoms. And it helped. After smoking twice the amount I normally do, my throat, ears and chest all feel better.

I'm sure I'm not "cured," I know these things have to run their course. I'm avoiding cigarettes and getting lots of fruits and vegetables. But I am NOT giving up my cannabis, I don't care if I cough til I puke.

This may sound sad, but to me, weed is like a Divine gift. It is something that grows from the land, balances my personality disorders, increases my creativity, encourages serenity and love, makes life more enjoyable, and makes me feel better when I'm sick.

What a shame the government doesn't care about how many people they could help with regulated yet legal weed!

I live in a state where smoking a joint to ease your discomfort is a serious crime. For a long time I was worried about this, did this make me a "criminal?" Then one day I decided, no, it does not. I will abide by the laws of my "God" and myself, and if I am loving and kind to others then why shouldn't I be able to indulge in the smoking of a plant if I choose?

That's my mj induced vent for the evening. I am so glad I found this board, it is the first message board I've ever been to where I really feel among friends.

I really don't get why mj is illegal, its a freakin plant! yeah sure other drugs come from plants, but have been altered by man to become a drug, but weed is purely naturual, and not processed into a harmful drug with dangerous chemicals. Nature made weed not man, so how is smoking weed wrong?
