First and foremost, I am sorry that you have suffered. Yes I am aware of DES and its devastating effects on a generation of women. And though I am fortunate enough not to be afflicted with addiction myself, I grew up with an alcoholic father. I understand how painful addiction can be...
You should look up the "No Free Lunch"
NO FREE LUNCH. It's a program in the medical community that bands together in limiting influence by the pharmaceutical industry. They accept no lunches, no pens or trinkets, do not take drug reps into their offices at all. It's a good program.

If you want to negate the benefits of cannabis oil because I am angry at what the medical community has done to me and thousands of other people, so be it.

where did I, even once, argue any benefits? I merely stated that I felt your message was kind of lost. Actually, I voted for the legalization of medical marijuana in my state. I definitely feel it and its compounds have medicinal benefit.

I think it's a crime to put children on drugs and label them ADD just because they aren't another brick in the wall.

No argument there. I feel ADD is a legit condition, but I think overdiagnosis is rampant and that is a travesty.

people are hooked on garbage that SHOULD BE BANNED!! Like ATIVAN!!

Ativan is a dangerous drug. Cannabis is not. Everyone has the choice to do what they want to do and what works for them.

Two statements that are in DIRECT contradiction with each other. Do you think Ativan should be banned or do you think "everyone" has the choice to use it if they find it beneficial to them?
I think it's AWESOME that the cannabis oil is helpful for you, I wish you nothing but the best and am sorry you had such a terrible time with Ativan. I feel the same way about the benefits of fish oil...great for cognitive functioning and it's been very helpful.
Ativan has been a very useful medication for me, I'm glad it hasn't been banned! It shouldn't be prescribed willy-nilly (and in fact most of the practitioners I know are very hesitant in overprescribing this type of thing....and ironically many other anxiety patients dislike doctors for THAT reason). But with the right dosage in the right person, it can make a difference. I've had no dependence or psychological addiction, my last bottle has lasted four months.
Best wishes to you in your journey and I'm glad you're finding a beneficial treatment towards healing or at least alleviating your suffering,
