“I figure my state legislators have never felt pain worse than a hangnail—otherwise, marijuana would have been made legal long ago.” Legalize It
In 2006, I started getting lower back pain. My doctor recommended chiropractic care. It helped somewhat, but then I had a car accident. After that, other conditions started to rear their ugly head. Fast-forward to 2017: I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis, degenerative discs, irritable bladder and an anxiety disorder—all at 37 years old.
Unfortunately, in my state, my doctor cannot prescribe marijuana: North Carolina says “Hell, no!” to the thing that would help me most. I figure my state legislators have never felt pain worse than a hangnail—otherwise, marijuana would have been made legal long ago.
Until it is, I’ll keep my High…
