I didn't touch it in high school. It is medicine for many (MS, cancer, AIDS, chronic pain, glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritus). And patients who use it in California with doctors recomendations take it very seriously. Some use it to thwart or at least lessen the side effects of other drugs that they must take to stay alive. I am not here to argue for/against medical cannabis. Just wanted to share information that may help sisters with endometriosis. And FYI, eating cannabis (cooked in recipes) is the best( and completely natural way) to ease/manage chronic pain. Don't knock it until you put down the(understandly necessary) pain meds and try the natural approach. It may or may not help. Quality definitely makes the difference. >
