Yes, to each his own.
I agree that my son's excuse of it helping his PTSD is simply that...an excuse.
And, no, he doesn't have a medical card. He has never actually been diagnosed w/PTSD (or anything else).
yes, and I am sorry to hear this stuff. It's got to be hard to watch a kid go down this road without being able to stop it.
I have been to the VA, you have to file the paperwork, be seen and evaluated at the VA, then they verify your story to your file and places you have been. Lots of people claim they saw combat, but never actually left the bases, Or were even shot at.
After all that process, you try the counseling and medications they give. But, the meds make it hard to focus and work (imo)
After years of trying it their way, i tried other options
I was all anti drug too, but when you say that you don't support it, i ask anyone to ask yourself do you take meds for other things from your Dr. Do you not take any meds? Well, hearing the government tell you these drugs are OK, and these are not, Ok, fine.. But, who made that decision, why?
Then i did some research and low and behold in other countries they are finding that there are lots of things THC and CBD are good for.
just google about Charlotte's web CBD study.
The government says this is bad, but for certain conditions it's good, but it's bad.. You go to jail for this but not drinking.. Unless you give us $150 a year to get a card, then it's good. Oh and 12% tax. Now it's good.
So, is it really bad, or is it a situation where drug companies that give lots of money to politicians are making an impact on what is or isn't approved? Is that making the best decisions for your health?
As for the burger joint.. I think it's funny.. But, you would be surprised at the people that go in and use. I see all kinds that i would never guess use it. My co-workers would argue with you all day if you tried to tell them i did. They would never believe it.
As for the Florida where they allow the oil.. That is funny.. The oil is in a Vape pen, which works great and you don't realize unless you are aware of it, that someone is using it. It's also what they use to make cookies and candy.. So, that wasn't really a good idea since the vape lasts a couple of hours at best (typically an hour) the green stuff everyone thinks of lasts several hours, and the oil in something you eat can last as long as 6-8 hours. People that freak out and end up at the ER room (not that they need it, its just they freak out)
are typically those that eat it. Take to much and eat it, and you are going to be in a headlock for a long ride. Not fun, not dangerous since it doesn't effect the part of your brain that controls body function like breathing and heart beat. You can die from overdose on alcohol or RX drug abuse. Pot, they just need to sleep it off.
I am not justifying, just giving a different opinion.
