My latest story for @TheIntercept is about why I started smoking weed this year, how outrageously difficult it is to buy it legally in New York, and how fundamentally racist the enforcement of these policies are here.https://theintercept.com/2018/05/18/medical-marijuana-new-york-city/ …
This is the most I've ever related to Bruce Wayne/Batman. I currently have two ruptured discs in my neck. 3 more in my back (have had 4 spinal surgeries). A healed fracture in my shoulder. Two torn, partially healed rotator cuffs. Chronic migraines - maybe from concussions.pic.twitter.com/ScUbTciUJS
This is me after a brutal car accident in 2003. Black ice on the roads. Went through the windshield face first. Hit the guardrail before I was fully ejected. Threw me back into the car. 400 stitches. Sewed my eyelid back on. Sewed most of my bottom lip back on. It was brutalpic.twitter.com/nabvbzp5pl
Here is the full story of my car accident in 2003. A full miracle that I survived. Almost a week before I could open my eyes. Cracked and damaged half of my teeth. Pulled tiny bits of glass out of my face shard by shard for over a month.https://medium.com/@ShaunKing/if-you-dont-know-this-story-you-really-don-t-know-me-fab8fcbeff1d …
That's my neck a few months ago. Those are needles deeply embedded into the discs/nerves injecting pain relief medicine in an attempt to ease my pain. Procedure was excruciating. Only gave me relief for a few days. So my doctor said he wanted me to try cannabis.pic.twitter.com/3eFNQODFnz
Legalizing cannabis and ending the war on drugs is a big part of why I’m running for Congress to replace Nancy Pelosi in the House https://www.shahidforchange.us/meet-shahid.html … #ShahidForChange
Yes your right on. These facts need to be screamed. Keep up the truth. People need to know. Thank You 
Let’s not forget the forgettable Harry Anslinger ether. Immoral racist, greedy motivations pushing lies. For the almighty dollar.
I was on 4 controlled substances to treat an illness when marijuana would have treated all my symptoms and provide pain control. It needs to be legalized NOW!!!
Great article. I never would have guessed any of it - the beating, pain, accidents, etc. You r so passionate about helping others & fighting racism; I had no idea u were suffering. I’m so sorry. I hope things get better. Thanks for shining light on this issue.
You said it best: cannabis is a mild intoxicant that on the whole causes none of the harms of alcohol and does indeed provide real medical benefits. It’s a farce that governments pretend it’s so harmful that we need prohibition.
The problem with weed is the law, not the plant!
Wow @ShaunKing. I knew about the attack but not all the other subsequent injuries and accidents. Thank you for all the work you do. You are definitely one of God's soldiers.
No one should have to live with so much pain.
Sickle cell patients are in pain 24/7. Cannabis helps. Legalize it.
18 years strong for me!!! Wouldn't change a thing
