Medical marijuana

I am also for the legalization of weed. I ruptured a disk a few years back and could hardly walk. I started smoking more than anything to escape from the depression and then found out that it helped me escape from the pain. I started smoking a lot, I would come home for lunch and smoke. I will admit that I went overboard and became a total pot head and a pill junkie at the same time. But threw all of that, I worked threw the pain and now have a strong back that gives me trouble very rarely. When I first injured my back, the Dr told me that surgery would be the only way I could function correctly. I went to another Dr. and he said basically the same thing. I had three cortisone shot injections (those F*&KIN HURT) and they didn't help. The pills didn't help. You know what did? Getting baked for a full year. Now I smoke everyonce in a while, but I walk a lot and I do things that my Dr. said I wouldn't be able to do.

Also, I can and have started smoking weed and then decided to quit after daily usage without much of an effect. When I tried to get off of pills (prescription) I would break into cold sweats, throw up, etc... and for weeks feel like ****. That is a BAD life.
