I know several potheads and many chemo patients, so...

 

From what I've read and heard anecdotally is that one big upside is an increase in appetite - particularly useful when undergoing chemo.

I go days without eating sometimes, and it's not an isolated thing. It's weekly. 2-4 days where I live solely on Ensure. So many of the benefits apply directly to my situation, I feel that why shouln't I give this a try.

 

Are there legal ramifictions? Would I be at risk of losing my CCW license? I haven't carried in several months as is. I have had my right shoulder reconstructed through 4 surgeries. I don't feel comfortable carrying a weapon, so I don't. I do worry about losing that right though. I'm just a good guy with a gun. I don't bother anyone. I don't brag or tell anyone. It's simply if I saw something really bad happening to an innocent person, I would try to stop it.

 

I wonder if the natural aspect is a better alternative. However, it's processed, separated, and do we REALLY know if other additions are made to the oils? It makes me wonder. Pharmaceuticals is big business, and I don't know if they'll stand by and watch a natural alternative take the scene by storm. It's war on a corporate level, and all wars are bloody and have casualties.

 

I feel good having learned what I have so far. I still worry about the costs, which   I have no clue what they are. I worry about the legal part of it as well. It's still technically Illegal at the Federal level. I put my family at risk for DEA raids and such. They legally could do it at any time without recourse. I doubt I would ever be a target. I'm sure that they know that I'm just a sick guy looking for some relief and peace. I am a family man and a law abiding citizen. I think I'm safe, but do we really ever know?

 

Just some more thoughts about all of this. PS: some good news is my doctors STRONGLY FEEL that this has significant anti-cancer properties. That is a huge plus for me. I'm down to one kidney, and have to protect it with a castle and moat. If I ever go to take a leak again, and it's straight blood, I will know the end is near. That was the start of this journey, and I fear it may signal the last mile.
