ace has always helped me when I was sick. 1) helped me relax 2) made the Price is Right really interesting and entertaining 3) promotes coughing which loosens phlegm for chest colds 4) helps you sleep at nite. Btw.... I was trying to clear a chest cold using weed and cough syrup bad idea!! I don't like robo-trippin' so i was uneasy. Only time u shouldn't smoke cannabis is if u can't afford it, or it's not available. nuff said
