Let's Talk About Medical Marijuana

Let's just start here and get this out of the way... Now that we have had a good laugh, allow me to explain that this is NOT what medical marijuana is all about. It's not about getting stoned and losing touch with reality. It's about relief from symptoms in a natural way that is non addictive and safe. It offers a chance to avoid, wean down, or get off of pharmaceutical medications altogether. Medicines like opioids - you know the thing that is a huge epidemic crisis in this country.
