I was shocked when I ask my family Dr. And he said yes. Had the paper work done fairly fast. Then the dr.s haven't got anything else prescription wise they can experimement on me with. My stomach is so messed up now from all that crap. Mj is a god send for me. I was. One of the non believers until about 7 yrs ago. A friend got me to try it an I was amazed, how much better I feel. Now we just have to have it totally legal.
