A caveat, I’m not
a doctor. I’m a man who statistically
is too young to be fighting the Effing Evil Empire [read back] that graduated
high school sometime in the Seventies.
Hmm I’m not sure but I think that’s right.
Those are my credentials, oh yeah, those and my cancer. Take special attention to when I
graduated. The time was the cusp of just
about anything goes and mullets.
Anything goes in a drug way, oddly there wasn’t anything known as the
60’s “free sex”. Perhaps there was and I
was just unaware.
Though my above credentials are impeccable, I wasn’t a big
ganja smoker back on the cusp. My vices turned to other compounds that were relatively benign
compared to what’s available on today’s market. All of those credentials, well I think they
are credentials, allow me to think I can blog about cancer and the herb that
inspired Reefer Madness.
I’m writing this for maybe the folk that
think the herb will make you, with just one whiff, make you run out with your
walker and go ice fishing even though you live downtown in The Bronx,
France. Uhmm I’m not sure that’s right. Oh well I never was good at geography.
A couple weeks ago I was staying over at my best
friends. I ended up spending an
additional day and like an idiot I hadn’t packed meds enough to cover the possibility
of an extra day. When later, in the
evening of that extra day I was offered some pot, though not a smoker, I said “sure”. The thought, supported by a vague remembering I had
recently read that hemp was good for nausea, severe pain, and appetite.
Suddenly, because I was thinking about 1977 at the time I took the toke of the ages, I couldn’t feel my face.
Holey crap suddenly I couldn’t feel my hands. More suddenly I smiled an ear splitting,
cheek freezing smile, smile, smile. This stuff wasn't the weed patch that I grew up with. This is serious medicine.
Here’s the facts. You cancer folk younger than I recognize the
benefits of the herb. You guys older
than I. Please listen. This drug, that’s what it is and it against
the Federal law, soothes a whole bunch of the negatives of cancer. It is well worth the effort and the risk.
Don't be an old codger...also it makes you regular!
Hope to see you on the remake
of “Reefer Madness”
