A most incredible view...I was falling asleep before even beginning to view---I didn't realize how long it was, LOL. I will stay up a few minutes longer to post vaguely on how I feel about this topic. I have been on and off smoking for numerous years now. (NEVER did I feel I was "jittery" when I was unable to smoke.) I was recently diagnosed with an incurable disease that dictates that if I live long enough, I will be in a wheelchair. Now, know that is only the tip of the iceberg. All of the various downsides of this dreadful disease are often overlooked by the common overseer/onlooker. Without elaborating upon the numerous examples, I will attempt to briefly comment on the COUNTLESS ways in which cannabis has helped me.
Although I realize how little the general population really knows regarding MS, I would like to only touch the surface on "acceptable meds" allowed and LEGALLY alloted to us....among cancer patients, ETC.
Many drug addicts would LOVE to get into my medicine cabinet.........until they found out most of it was OUT OF DATE, therefore making it less potent. One of my most frustrating demons I deal with is that when I wake up in the morning each day, it is most often only to briefly awaken and then "suddenly" ---with no rhyme or reason, feel as if I have just run a marathon, suffered a massive illness, loss of a loved one---you name it, whatever drains you to the HILT. There are so many common elements that cause this fatigue, pain of which is only one.
Sooooooo, what do the doc's offer as relief from this??? VALIUM and MUSLCE RELAXANTS!!! ---let's not forget the pain killers. <<<SIGH>>>>.......gee, thanks. Just what I NEEDED---------to sleep on the couch 24/7------as if 12-18 hours a day wasn't good enough. The effects of MS are too numerous to comment on, but I will adamantly make the RIGHTEOUS claim that cannabis WORKS. No matter what the symptom, it subsides with a mere toke or 2----more if it's what I've smoked recently. <<cough>>> Best yet----NO ugly side-effects.
It was not too entirely long ago that I was working out on average 3 hours a day and running an average of 7-10 miles every other day. When I wasn't doing that, I was doing yoga. As my extracurricular
activity, I would rollerblade on the freeway or go climb mountains. When I wasn't actually "working out".....I really was. I was attending school and working 2-3 jobs at a time. I was also smoking at this time mind you.
I will just sum up what could become very lengthy by stating that I am simply disgusted that our government will tell me that it is "OK" to take the various drugs RX'd me---which cost on average $35,000 annually, yet will
criminalize
me for taking something that will ALLOW me the FREEDOM to FEEL somewhat NORMAL. Level one drug DEA says??? Get REAL!!!!! That entire "clip" tells it all. How else will they make money if they were to simply admit that God may just have put this NATURAL herb on this planet for so many of mankind's ailments? How will they even attempt to "regulate" it? AND.....is it even their right??????????? I surely don't think so! God gave me a green thumb!!!!!!! Every time I attempt to utilize it, I am reminded by the fact that the relief I SO desperately need--and is SO close at hand------is a CRIME. How DARE the DEA even exist??? I could go on and ON as to what the DEA has deemed SAFE for me, but I won't. That's a book. In fact, I won't even take that sleeping pill they said was ok for me. People die EVERY day just from what is offered me via doctors. Rarely, if ever, will you see THAT in the headlines.
I'm super tired and will end this by saying that I am a very blessed person. For any that read this, I am in no way as progressed as the man you saw in this video. YET, my symptoms are MINE.......and who the hell does the gov't think they are to REGULATE what I FEEL????? I'll pass on their "ok'd remedies." They are DANGEROUS.
