vaping
New Member
i am a 73 year old woman living on moloka'i, hawaii. just joined this forum. i am amazed how much information and activities there is. there are many veterans and seniors on this island who use pot for medical reasons. many are very poor and can't afford the fee the doctors charge to get them on a state medical legal card. (250.-) plus they used to have to fly or take the ferry over to maui to see this doctor once a year. not being able to afford this, they remain being "criminals". at least, now, a doctor and social worker is coming to this island to hold a clinic every second month signing people up for medical marijuana. they come from hilo on the big island.
the way these marijuana patients are treated resembles the way the lepers were treated. there is so much ignorance out there, and the government has done a fine job by brainwashing the masses.
i don't use this herb, and thank God i am healthy and have no pain. but when i met my hubby in 2001, he was first smoking pot to relieve bckpain and give him appetite, but he has emphysema. i did some research on the internet and found a forum where patients with lung problems give testimony about their vaporizers. so i bought one for my hubby. he refuses to SMOKE anything now and has turned a few friends here also to using a vaporizer. at least his emphysema is not getting worse.
i am keeping up fighting for the rights of medical marijuana users and i keep shaming those who take a hard line against its use.
and i guess that makes me at my age, FEISTY!
