Hello and thank you for allowing me to join your forum. I am admittedly one of those people who has always been against drugs and included marijuana in that category but changed when I searched for SAFE alternatives to long term pain control for a family member. After much research I recognize the health benefits to the plant given to us and believe it can be utilized for many health benefits. I grew my first crop this past summer and am grateful that websites like this exist so I can build further knowledge to provide quality medicine.
