      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

          I had a C5-C6 fusion for my neck a few years ago. Doctors prescribed opioids. I refused to take them. Smoked cannabis instead. Criminal disgrace what is going on in this country, both figuratively and literally.

          Just had this done 6 mos. ago. Never took the meds! Doc didn't push them, either. However, he did OK me for a med card, and I'm on my way to getting that right now. Without cannabis, I could NOT live on the daily. Before this, I lived in misery with pain.

          You need to move here to Oregon where it grows freely and is for sale legally. You would fit right in here.

          Cannabis tea is also an efficient way to consume and is almost “slow release”. I’m an I-502 producer/processor in WA. My hats off to you for expressing your thoughts on this.

          Been there, done that with needles in my L5 disc in lower back, usually with longer results. Sorry to hear about your pain but I too use cannabis when needed rather than opioids. Good luck,.

          I just had an ACDF and I have a progressive spinal degenerative disease... At 38 as well. I'm about to go through the proper channels for my legal cannabis card, with my doctor's 100% approval. It IS medicine. I've never touched an opioid, because cannabis is where it's at.

          I live in Washington state. Cannabis is legal here, but one doctor told me if I smoke pot he’d kick me out of the largest medical group in my town because it’s an unregulated drug. I changed doctors.
