My neighbor suffers from cronic pain in his legs. It doesn't matter if he is sitting or standing -- he is in bad pain. He hasn't slept well in months and months -- having just gone through a double bypass surgery, he is in pretty bad shape, but he is still over there working on his boat. He is the person I mentioned earlier in this journal who has a PHD in horticulture and is writing the book on advanced outdoor drip systems. He is a normal family guy -- They are devout Christians, business people.
He came to me yesterday afternoon complaining about his pain and wanted to know if weed would help him. I was honest with him. I told him I smoke weed for recreational purposes and am a little skeptical about it having many med purposes except to stimulate hunger and for relaxation and stress control. He told me he had talked with his wife about it and she had given him permission to give it a try, so I twisted him up a nice dubbie and took it over to him. I gave him instruction on how to smoke it and left.
This morning the man came over and fixed my little outboard motor for me -- it hasn't worked since I returned from Idaho last summer. I tried to pay him, but he told me never mind money -- he got the best nights sleep after smoking that joint than he has enjoyed in years. He smoked about a third of it and went and layed down -- he woke up hours later and smoked the rest of it and slept the rest of the night through. He told me NOTHING he has ever tried has worked as well for his pain. I guess there really are med purposes for weed, and it tickles me that normal people are beginning to understand and are willing to give it a try. Pretty cool huh?
Anyway, I'm going to have a few extra clones, and this guy certainly knows enough about it to grow his own, so I suggested he set up his own little room. He said his wife would kill him, but I told him to give her to testimonial he gave me about finally getting some good sleep. She doesn't want him in pain, so I believe that is what will happen -- either that or I'm going to have a real good customer. I will give him another joint tonight, so he can give it another test.
My plants are looking soooo fine -- they are a few days less than three weeks into 12/12 and even the sick plant is flowering nicely. Do you want to see them?
Peace
