I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease about 2 years ago. After trying several different treatments, which all had varying degrees of nasty side effects, I decided to try medical marijuana. Almost immediately I felt better. My nausea disappeared and the pain I always have in my stomach was nearly diminished. The best part is, I [...]
I was diagnosed with clinical depression at the age of 27. I suffered for many, many years from panic attacks and debilitating anxiety. Unable to hold a job or a relationship with anyone, I feared that I would eventually get to a point where I never left my house or became suicidal. I started smoking [...]
Now that we have entered the 21st century, it seems that technology has caught up with the drug world. Instead of lighting up a pipe or taking a pill, a person looking for a good high can instead jack into an iPod and press play. But that doesn't make sense. How can you consume a [...]
In a world with so much hatred, so much disease, and so much poverty, it is a wonder that any of us are still alive. I just came back from a trip to New York where I ended up speaking to an older couple about my illness and the fact that I am a medical [...]

During the first 5 months he [...]

I was taking seven different prescription painkillers every day, all riddled with side effects. My bowels stopped working for long periods of time, which led to even more pills and more problems.

I’m going to be completely honest and tell you that for the first time in my life I am a criminal. If I was merely twenty miles down the road I wouldn’t be. I am a criminal in Ohio because I use marijuana. I suffer from bipolar, migraines and fibromyalgia, and with all these imperfections [...]
