    Why I started smoking weed for the first time @ 38 years old. Sharing my story of living life in extreme pain and doing everything I can to live a productive life in spite of it. It's time for NYC to legalize weed for all. It's overdue.https://theintercept.com/2018/05/18/medical-marijuana-new-york-city/ …

        So much for the argument that "natural medicines will never hurt you."

        Wasn't what I was trying to say. I know someone who is major into the "new age medicines" and the number of times they've told me that "natural herbs can't hurt you" makes my head just about explode.

        Meanwhile @NYGovCuomo lies to us saying the state is progressive on this issue. While other progressive states have already legalized recreational marijuana. While New York has one of the worst medicinal programs in the country (as your story illustrates).

        Decriminalization leaves the black market intact. We need full legalization. It's downright stupid to maintain a black market and spend millions on enforcement against a drug safer than alcohol when we could be taxing & exporting it.

        It’s time for weed to be legal on the federal level. There are so many ways this helps people that there’s no reason for this madness to continue any longer!

        We could really use a voice like yours in the fight. Legalization goes far beyond just recreational use, and falls deep into the pockets of lobbyists ranging from healthcare, agriculture, private prisons, auto, timber, paper and so many more

        When my mother was dying of cancer, I convinced her to at least try it. It helped her so much. It didn't save her life but it certainly made her last few months worth living. The pain relief made a difference for her.

        I fought cancer for a year and a half. No one should have to go through treatment without cannabis.

        I have a daughter with disabilities & lives with chronic pain. When her pain level goes up, she can't handle it. Only thing that calms her down & helps her get thru it - a sativa tincture. But she can't take her meds anywhere but home. She can however take codeine. It's bullshit.
