My son, who is 22 now, started smoking Pot when he was 15. Just a little, to do like the others. Everything was fine in the family. But he got "addicted" very fast. He stopped his studies and was unable to concentrate... I never let go and he is only now starting to climb up the hill again. And he only smoked Pot. This happens to a a small portion of Pot smokers. I ran after the drug dealers, worked with the police, the school the doctors...I saw so many other kids who ruined their lives with Pot. And their families with it. I do not agree to legalizie Pot.
But I do agree using it for pain. It should be used like Morphine. I also had my head in the toilet for hours. Chemo was horrible for me. I lost 25 pounds and was not fat. Plus the rest...The anti nausea pills did not work much. I understand what you went through Flori. If I had known that Pot could have helped me, yes I would have tried. I am sorry I did not know. But under control. Doctors still do not take care of "pain" enough. maybe I could use it now? I'll ask my doctor in the pain center.
