I use it several times per day. I have not been 'stoned' since I was a teenager (that was 30 years ago). I have avoided toxic anti-seizure prescription drugs completely for over ten years, all because of cannabis. I do not use cannabis to get 'high'. The majority of patients I know, genuinely need cannabis to function normally on an everyday basis.
I believe it's medicinal use is fruitful for one's health, I was talking about recreational users, don't get me wrong. Seizures? I was on meds until I was 18, now I quit meds and no longer have seizures, haven't had them for 3 or 4 years.

Governor Pence financed his campaign in part by funds from the private prison industry. One of the first laws he signed was a crime bill that made the penalties for drug offenses even more draconian. This all happened when places like Colorado and Washington were/are decriminalizing. What ShaMan is doing in his state would put me behind bars for the rest of my life in mine.
It's really a shame this happens.. Seriously..
