I have lived threw a road side bomb in Afghanistan serving the Canadian forces.
Physical:
I now have to live with shrapnel in my right leg, have had some removed from my left wrist and upper left arm. I also suffered from a broken (right) leg, slip disk in my back and about 300 stitches on my upper left arm/elbow. On the best days I live with a dull chronic pain. On the worst It hurts to move around.
Emotionally:
I hate life and have a poor attitude. I blasted a few to many fools over there to have a good laugh, now I come back and I'm alienated. Well, except for when I smoke up, it helps with attitude and paranoia. I ease up a bit i guess. aside from that I live with nightmares, insomnia, ADD, combat stress, paralyzing flash back incidents, mild panic attacks, over reactions to loud noises (ducking, dogging, even jumped behind a parked car once) and general discomfort in crowds or busy streets.
Weed has helped me with physical pains, and also emotional. With out weed I probably would have killed myself a long time ago!
