My dad, while having gone through a lot of abuse and dealing with personal addictions, has really benfitted from it medically since his stroke a few years back. Sure, I have watched him overdo it but I have also watched his speech and motor skills improve because of it. I think it's important to...

I had a severe mental break and disassociation after smoking (huge bong, Colorado weed) a few months back. I had my medical card in California mind you and I used to get the best hybrid flowers, hash oil and edibles delivered straight to my door. Finding the right levels and dosage did wonders...
