Your story is fascinating and compelling, and I'm thrilled cannabis works so well for you, but I know it must be terribly scary, too, to contend with what seems to be a progressive, degenerative disease. I hope they can figure out what's up. And I hope you can always stay well supplied with cannabis.

Have they done PET scans and perfusion scans of your brain to see what's up back there with the blood flow? I want them to try taking PET scans both before and after you smoke and see if that'll help them figure out what's going on and why and how cannabis is helping the situation.

Good luck to you!
