Thanks, yes my interests have progressed beyond smoking a joint to get high towards the real therapeutic and medicinal properties of this plant.
When I was growing up in the 1960's & 1970's, marijuana use was quite prevalent in my family. I have 4 older sisters who all were entrenched in the times and frequently smoked marijuana recreational.
I grew up in the culture of the 1960's, mostly known as little ricky by the older kids (eventually my brother-in-laws).
Not until I became disabled did I begin treating marijuana with the respect it deserves as a medicinal plant.
Imagine if the Medical community and Science had treated Marijuana with the same interest and respect as they have extracts from the Poppy. Our knowledge of this plant would be much farther along by the 21st century than it is currently understood.
I'm hopeful that patients as well as those who consume marijuana recreational will begin examining the scientific research being conducted around the world and demand that our scientists be afforded access to this plant for research.
