Imagine if we needed to run to the doctor each time we needed a fever reducer or had a headache. Good gawd! I'm not that stupid surely. I'm not able to leave my house or socialize with anyone outside my family. I'm even struggling to socialize here. I smoke pot and I can......I smoke pot and I'd likely be able to hold down a job or some kind (not that anyplace would hire me mind you). Doctors should care about functioning but instead they want to control and judge me for having mental illness. I'm rather sick and tired of it.
You make very sound points ElsaMars - I was and still am a fan of cannabis and know it can help a lot of people live more productive lives. That fact that the breeders have joined the scientific community and are now developing strains with various chemical compound makeups (various ratios of THC, CBD, CBN, etc) is great to see. It's just not something I want in the mix if my pdoc can't officially endorse it. I wouldn't have said that when I was 25 but at 40+ I feel its best
