I dislocated my shoulder. I was helping my neighbor who fell and broke her leg. So I try to help out and I fall. From one arm to no arms is sorta like Dante's hell, no matter where you are standing, it just gets worse.
I know, now you are trying to figure out what this has to do with medical marijuana, right? I hurt in both arms, my shoulders are seized up and every time I see my therapist, he says things like " I can't believe you are still walking"or how about " I think you may want to not jump off the wagon this month, because I can't even touch you without hurting you.". I found out I am without a doubt eligible for Medical Marijuana. I would never support the taking of it. I was married once a million years ago to a pothead. He smoked pot then and he smokes pot now. He is just a little bit off, and he lives at home with his mom. He hasn't really changed in the 20+ years we have been divorced. Is it because he smokes pot? I don't know, I just know the people I know who smoke pot, don't seem to change as much as the rest of the world.
I'm not saying you can't. Its up to you, but I believe in studying the affects & effects of using anything, and what I have found is I will suffer through the withdrawal, and the vomiting, and keep on going until I get to the point where I can stand the pain.
I know laws are changing and there are a million people who say you should get to make your own choice,but at the end of the day, Federal law says its wrong. And even if they didn't I do not think my moral compass would allow me to just jump on the bandwagon and start changing my perspective.
I tell my children if they smoke pot then they can't live in my house. How can I have one set of standards for my family and another for me.
I refuse to change my standards and mores for a law I don't agree with.
