I've been on it for over a year and it literally saved my life. I was in pain 24/7 for over 20 years and I had given up and just plain wanted to die. I had run out of options of pain meds, I over-rode even Methadone in 3 days. I was at my limit on Tramadol which was the only thing that helped a little. About all I could pray for was that God either brought me a little relief or put me out of my misery. He sent someone who paid for all my expenses to get on it, without ever paying him back, and this person didn't even know me personally. I am not pain free, but life is at least worth living now.
I do not smoke it--it was impossible, one puff, cough 20 times. I drink it. I have no idea what it means to get high. It is medicine, pure and simple. I believe if God thought I was able to handle the pain He would not have sent me the help. The object is health not to get high. It's a plant that has been used as medicine for 1000's of years in many cultures. How it became illegal in this country is interesting--it was legal until around 1935. When researching it, it was illegal to even print anything positive about it! How is anyone to know what good it can do when it's not legal to find out? Everything that the doctors and scientists and the legal system knew about it was only stuff that was negative--true or not.
It is far better for you than the medicines that get manufactured that are basically poison, but you have no choice, take them or suffer, or die now instead of later.
