Thank you guy's. Just sharing the journey that has led me here. Hope to communicate more and learn with the help of buds like the two of you.
I feel ya brother. Had a bad accident that damaged my spine and hips. Had surgery 12 years and was on heavy amounts of opiates for 8 years. They just weren't destroying me physically but mentally as well. This is going to make my 5th year of being opiate free. Due to the damage my spine received, it's caused a lot of nerve damage throughout my entire body. The last 6 years my peripheral neuropathy in my feet, legs, arms and hands has gotten terrible. I have a new pinched nerve that causes a bad charlehorse in my gut, literally puts you on the floor.
And it's a great thing mother nature and her wonder mj plant has given me. I'm extremely grateful I can medically and legally medicate myself now. Instead of all that garbage big pharma pushes. Best wishes in your grows and healing. Though biggest word of advice I can give anyone suffering from physical and/or mental disabilities. Is you constantly have to work your mind and your soul. It is a never ending journey.

I understand how you feel... My story is a little different, been battling depression for over 15 years, but I related to your experience with the conventional big pharma crap. First I tried to drink my problems away for years, which of course made everything worse. Then I was guided to an even darker path and was given nearly every anticonvulsant, antidepressant, tranquilizer, etc available - over 10 types of drugs and several combinations and dosages among them, for sure over 30. In some cases, I felt better for a couple months, then everything collapsed again. After many years of frustration, increasing depression waves and suicidal thoughts, I realized that I needed to take the matter into my own hands and looked for alternatives, thus meeting the sacred weed, plus diet change and exercise. I know my problems are still out there, but at least now I have the quality of life I need to face them and live a good life with my family.
Here it's still illegal to grow and buy, but we can't wait for such stupid laws to change, life won't wait. I'm glad you too found an alternative that improved your life, mate!
Cheers,
Leo

Blessing's bud . Peace, Good and good toking
That is what I'm hoping for and the more fellow sufferers get involved the more hope for current and future sufferers.
