As I've stated in another post, I found some pot in Jamacia that "stopped" the CH pain. But the local stuff doesn't do anything but calm me down a little.
I'm for the legalization of pot and have been writing Congress for years on this. I do agree that if you have an addictive personality, you'll prob. get hooked, but for the rest of us, if it can help, why shouldn't we use it?
Lately, all the news shows have had a segment on this. I think eventually it will be legalized,but then we'll have to educate doctors on the use of it.
I haven't had a drink or a smoke in several years,but I don't want someone telling me I can't if it helps me. (And I do think pot is better than valium or alcohol.
I would urge everyone to write their congressman and tell them what you think. The only way we're gonna get anything changed is to GET INVOLVED.
Like my old Daddy used to say, "If you ain't part of the solution, then you're part of the problem."
