After a particularly bad bout I had not slept more than 3-4 hours a nite for days and could not even sit comfortably on the couch at nite watching tv without squirming around like a sprayed roach trying the find the least painful position. About 2:00 am one morning it got bad, bad , bad.So bad I was ready to do anything to relieve the pain and if there was any way to get a bottle of alchohol I would have got it. Problem is I am what’s known as a drunk. And while I had been sober over 15 years at that time and knew for me to drink would be disaster if I could have got to a bottle I would have drank it. So I called a buddy who smoked the devils weed and got a sack to see if it would help with my pain and inability sleep. And it did.So I became one of them dam pot heads. Florida went medical which was wonderful because u could buy for exactly what effect u want. I am an Indica man cause I am looking for pain relief and sleep. Now I ended up in an unenlightened state it’s back to the bad old days of friend of a friend mystery weed. At this point in life I have not experienced one negative effect from the weed and I burn a lot of it. Plenty of brain cells left to do what I need to do and honestly I am a generally decent nicer guy and more patient husband because of it.



100% accurate. I’m 5 years in and life is good.
