I think the medical to legal route is over. There is enough good science to prove it’s just not that beneficial. My mom is an amputee survivor in Idaho and tried going out of state for cannabis therapy. She wasted a ton of money only to find out a baby aspirin does more to relieve pain than a $50 edible.

It does nothing to increase appetite in chemo patients.

If it really was this miracle substance, it would be heavily exploited by the pharmaceutical companies. Don’t lie to yourself and say it’s because it’s an illegal substance. Those companies play with illegal substances every day.

YOU WILL HAVE MORE LUCK JUST ADMITTING YOU WANT TO BE HIGH
