Cancer Survivorship....Day 3 ...Cannabis Oil ...I am Angry

Hello Folks.  I am angry and here is why.  As stated earlier I am 57 years young.  I have worked and been a US Citizen my entire life.  I have had cancer since 2001.  I struggled, rejoiced, facilitated a rare cancer support group...I helped thousands of people survive cancer in a proud, dignified manner.  I do not drink, I exercise and I am not a drug addict in any way shape or form.  I take Advil for headaches...that is it.  I am not depressed...I laugh...work...exercise...have wonderful family, friends, and dog.  

And yet in my pursuit of medical cannabis oil every step of the way the powers that be... make you/me feel like some second class citizen and drug addict....and yet...

You are the same person that drinks alcohol every single day ...wine, beer, martini...or whatever and then you get in your car and drive without a thought.  You are the person that has a prescription drug cabinet in your bathroom filled with pain medications prescribed by your so called doctor that you also drive your car while taking and if you miss one dose, you start to go crazy.  You are an addict.

You are the person that that has not a clue how medical marijuana can make a person on chemo hungry, relieve pain and possibly control tumor growth.  And you just lit your cigarette....you idiot.  Or maybe you are just perfect, never did a thing wrong, and never had an illness of any kind...your time will come. 

And then you might be me...trying to survive, stay alive, be myself in a society that says if I want medical marijuana with very real medicinal properties...that you will make me look like some sort of criminal to want to buy it in a reputable place where I am treated with dignity...like where you buy your drugs...a licensed pharmacy out in public....or let's make it fun to do ..like the local bar where you drink everyday, drive, and you think that is OK.  Get my point?   And then there is the money component of all of this...next post.
