Channeling Transcript

Me: Is marijuana bad? Should some or all drugs be legalized?

(Pause)

Me: This whole thing at the border between the U.S. and Mexico has got me very concerned, so I’m wondering if we decriminalize certain drugs if that would help. When we criminalize things it seems like it creates this black market propelled by greed and tainted with violence and a number of other crimes. Just look at how the Mafia grew in power during the Prohibition.

Erik: Alcohol does the most physical damage.

Me: Oh yeah.

Erik: Here’s how it should be in my eyes, given my new perspective here. There shouldn’t be a drinking age.

Me: Oh boy. You probably had that same opinion while you were here in the physical.

Erik: That while age restriction nonsense should be lifted. What should be monitored is the amount of alcohol per glass, per bottle that kids can have. So let it be up to the parents. When you make alcohol an age-based thing where all of a sudden, poof, you’re 21 and you can go crazy with it, then it’s like dangling a carrot in front of a teenager. They wanna be treated like they’re older, of course, so they’re gonna wanna look cool and drink.

Me: Yeah, well, since my father is from Spain, it’s not unusual for young people like 14 or so to have a glass of wine at dinner. So for me there was no big mystical allure surrounding alcohol, and I’m only into my second liver so…

Jamie laughs.

Me: No, just kidding.

Erik: Yeah, so if there’s no age limit and if you control the alcohol percentage, there’s not gonna be this secretive pressure. It’s giving respect and responsibility to the people instead of micromanaging them and treating them like children.

Me: I’m going to have to digest that one for a while.

Erik: And marijuana absolutely should be used in certain circumstances. It should be legalized and run by the medical field. That could wipe out all these chemicals and pills they’re creating! They could make sure it doesn’t get contaminated with toxic stuff, and not only can you use the bud of the plant, you can use the leaves and the stems to make hemp clothing. It could help the cotton crop, uh, because hemp is one of the strongest ropes ever made. But you already know that.

Me: No, I didn’t. I did not know that.

Erik: But no, you can’t use the plant, because the bud is illegal. It’s silly.

Me: I’ve been watching various documentaries on THC, and I do see people who benefit from it, like people who have a severe stuttering problem and completely stop stuttering when they smoke. Then there are people with chronic pain, people with nausea from chemotherapy, um, and of course a lot of the prescription medication we use now is derived from plants. Look at Digoxin. We use it for heart failure, and it comes from the plant, foxglove.

Erik: You’re right. The basis for almost every medicine out there is a plant.

Me: I just think inhaling the smoke is so bad for the lungs, though.

Erik: People can eat it, put it in butter, make butter. You could sell all these products. You can steam it. There’s just so many other ways to consume it.

Me: Yeah.

Erik: But it should be run and regulated by doctors. And the hallucinogens like LSD, things like Ecstasy and mushrooms and things of that nature should be run by the psychiatric world.

Me: Okay. Whoa.

Erik: It should be legal for the psychiatrist to give these to their patients and take care of them in a quiet safe place while they go through this experience.

Me: Well, gosh, what would be the reason for the experience?

Erik: To help them realize that there’s a bigger reality out there, to see the spiritual side of things. It would completely take their fears and depression away.

Me: Wow. Hm. I know that a lot of people who have had near death experiences often come back to life completely changed, and in a positive way.

Erik: A hundred percent, yep. Imagine, Mom, a person’s fear, depression or anxiety for 15-16 years completely paralyzing them. They can’t move forward. Then a knowing person, a psychiatrist gives them LSD, sets them in a room, very nice music, talks them through their experiences, is totally there with them. The next day, they’re a completely different person.

Me: Wow. But then, doesn’t that take away the duality that’s important for spiritual progress?

Erik: No. Just think about it. What makes you think the duality has to be eight years long?

Me: Oh, well, that’s true. Some people get stuck, you know.

Erik: Yeah, that duality might just be for the run of  that duality trip. Maybe it’s a two hour or a four hour one. But that ultimate goal for everybody is to find that place of harmony where they can love their life and love their experiences.

Me: Yeah.

(Pause)

Jamie: I was just telling Erik there’s this word that I’m totally fascinated with by an Indian tribe that I’ve forgotten, but they say Ahoma Taqua Asi. (I have no idea how to spell this. Sorry.)

Me: Ooo! I like the sound of that. Now say it five times really, really fast.

Jamie: Ahoma Taqua Asi means “I lay all my relations before you.” My relationship to you, the couch, the floor, God, the trees, the light, everything. Total vulnerability.

Me: That is powerful. It’s very hard to surrender, to let go. We human beings tend to be clingers. White knuckle clingers.

Erik: And that’s what the LSD can do for some.

Me: Anything else on the subject of drugs?

(I’m hoping not, because this is enough to get my ass kicked several times.)

Erik: Nope. That’s my two cents right there.

Me: Yeah, I’m beginning to agree. Now, if you had told me all this, you know, 2 or 3 years ago, I would have freaked out, being the anti-drug Nazi that I was.

    Only on to your 2nd liver, hey pal? Good goin’!!!
    You really just crack me up with your sense of humour. We would get on like a house on fire! On a more serious note, I once had a friend, Susan, who suffered from Muscular Sclerosis. It was made worse by her having two children, but she wanted them very much and was prepared to take the risk. As her illness progressed, she found that the best form of pain releif for her was Marajuana. Of course, it was her poor husband having to go out under cover of darkness looking for a dealer to get her next ‘fix’. We used to call her Mary Warner! Sadly, she died whilst her kids were still quite small and dad was left with the raising of them. Just used to seem so wrong that they would’ve classed as law breakers when the drug was only administered as pain relief.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      What are the laws where u are?

  • Denise

    It is so true that we don’t regulate things that are incredeibly unhealthy for us but get hung up on other ingestibles that could actually help.

    When I as a teenager I was painfully shy in the very literal sense. I began to smoke marijuana and it allowed me to be more comfortable and act like normal people. I indulged maybe once every week or two. I’m not saying others would have the same results. I wasn’t a total stoner – every day, every day and fortunately, I never had the desire to try anything stronger.

    Now on the other hand you can go into any grocery store and buy items loaded with sugar and overprocessed crap that doesn’t come close to being food or nutrition in any way, creates all kinds of health issues, and it is perfectly fine.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Interesting perspective and I couldn’t agree more. Plus look at prescription drugs. There come a point where we must encourage individual responsibility in decision making. And who’s to say that it’s safer to suffer severe depression than to smoke pot?

  • Yvonne

    I am surprised that as someone in the spirit Erik did not speak more about the spirits that the plants embody. Even though they possess only second dimension consciousness, plants are perceived as energy by those who are aware, including the members of the other world, and those of us who possess expanded consciousness. Perhaps as a doctor you can speak more to the idea that plant “drugs” are just a mechanism for awareness and consciousness of a kind of living energy/reality.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      He has spoken about about that in the past. Just do a search for plants.

    No sé que decirte, porque todo depende, y no está tan claro que las drogas sean beneficiosas. La gente se engancha y pasan de unas a otras. Luego los hay a los que les produce alteración bipolar de la personalidad. Mira como llaman a la marihuana en Amsterdan dónde es legal y fabrican mucha “Haze” que significa niebla o confusión. Que es precisamente uno de sus efectos. Y es que el uso de ciertas drogas lleva a vivir una en interminable ceremonia de la confusión, uno ve no lo que es, sino lo que quiere ver, o que sea, es como lo que le pasa Don Quijote que entra en un Club de caretera, (un puti club de la época), y le parece que una de ellas, Aldonza es su amada Dulcinea, o el episodio más delirante de la cueva de Montesinos, en la que se queda dormido confundiendo sueño con realidad. Para mí lo que produce la marihuana es un estado de ensoñación permanente, y paradógicamente cuando se duerme no se sueña, o si se sueña no se percata uno de los sueños, y cuando despiertas estás como adormilado, te vas a tomar un café y a la primera de cambio puede saltar la irritabilidad, porque todo te sienta mal hasta que no vuelves a fumar de nuevo, piensas que nadie se da cuenta de tu estado, pero se te nota a la legua, te disminuyen las facultades como la memoria inmediata, no sabes dónde has puesto las llaves, no lo que tienes en el bolsillo izquierdo o en el derecho, si tienes que buscar una cosa no la encuentras, y todo ello te provoca desasosiego; por no hablar del incremento de la líbido que experimentas, lo cual tiene sus riesgos… Además de que cualquier trabajo intelectual se te hace imposible….

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Por eso los medicos necesitan controlarlo!

  • mom2bzs

    Very smart boy you have there Elisa (but you already knew that :o ). I agree with Erik, when you make something unlawful, when a person gets of “age” they can go crazy, feeling deprived of the experience when they were younger. I think the same thing can be said of sex; when you tell someone (especially a teenager) no, no, no, what are they going to do? Some of them anyway, are going to rebel and go for it.

    oh Erik how I love you-as you all know I am a huge supporter of therapeutic cannabis and have gotten a great deal of media attention lately-well great deal of media attention is a relative term in this group these days. Keith died because of his addiction to oxycoton which began when he was in the hospital-when not in the hospital he medicated with marijuana
    There is a list called Granny Crows List that includes over 420 pages of medical uses for the plant. I dont like it personally this is a link to my most recent interview http://www.cbs12.com/articles/need-4732339-weed-.html

  • Patrick

    This discussion of narcotics really rings my bell. I have strong Libertarian leanings (which in my case does not mean, scant nearly invisible government but rather “leave me alone” government that manages collective, national interests such as defense and diplomacy) and I very strongly believe criminalization of drugs/narcotics/what-have-we makes things WORSE; high risk of production and distribution means high price and thus high profits which attracts participation.
    Marijuana’s medically useful components indeed should be extracted for more efficient, less damaging effect.
    I hesitate at medical control done as it’s done now BECAUSE it will result in a bureaucracy that undermines the purpose, just as has occurred with the FDA.
    The morality, dangers and pitfalls of consumption are the result of freedom. Somebody will get drunk, somebody will drive drunk but banning cars? We already tried the alcohol bit…how’d that work out? [sarcastic, sh** eating grin]
    I have a very close relative who has abused substances for many years; I speak not from theory.
    When people begin to drink laundry bleach, will we ban that?
    Eduardo – hay otra perspectiva; la polémica no debe girar por lo beneficioso que sean las drogas; eso depende del consumidor y sus preferencias de moraleja. Concuerdo con Elisa en que un médico debe recomendar pero a fin de cuentas, es uno – no los demás – que debe elegir qué ingiere, cómo, cuándo y en qué cantidades.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Yes, Patrick! And just how far will the government go to save us from our own decisions?

  • JoAnn

    wheni was young and still living at home there was a rule in my family about drinking and drug use. My father would tell us if we wanted to drink alcohol we could but in choosing to drink even one sip of beer or any other alcoholic beverage that we could not go out of the house for the remainder of that day and we could not invite any friends inside with us. Well i did try drinking a beer or 2 but i did not like the rule of staying inside or having no friends inside with me. I always thought as i got older it was a wise rule for him to make because i would use his analogy that drinking and doing drugs was a personal choice and that while under the influence of a drug of any kind is dangerous and should not be done with a group or in a strange environment. So if any of my friends ever said well lets try to get some beer or pot or anything like that i would instantly think well if i want to do these things then it is only safe to do them at home and i would tell my friends well getting high is not really fun it is better if we just stay together and hang out,,,and i generally never did go with them if they choose to go find s drug and do it …i would go home instead .I geuss that is how i got through my teenage years with out smoking pot or getting drunk. But i do remember being 21 and finally being allowed to drink at a bar with my friends and had there not been that law there i would of prolly never found sitters for my kids and went out with the girls and hit the town so to speak. Personally i think that all the drugs should be legalized for a medical usee,,,i do not think our pharmacutical companies truly know how to be responsible in their creating and mixing of drugs ,,it is more or less a gamble with the ingredience and then the patient is the gunuea pig. I see this alot in the psychiatric world where i have been used up with these new medications to the point that now i can not take even the ones that did help me because the others have destroyed my liver. so it would in my opinion at this greedy time in the world only hurt the recipients ,until we as a world are more about actually healing and less about making the buck any way they can ,no matter who they really hurt then it will do nothing for the “greater good”..Love to you all!!

      Well said and spot on JoAnn!

      Well said and spot on JoAnn! I’m a big believer in individuals making decisions for themselves especially in collaboration with their personal physician.

    Translation of Eduardo and Elisa’s Code for those that don’t “speako spanyolee” (doze iz Texas words, BTW):
    = = = = = = =
    I don’t know what to tell you, because it all depends, and it’s isn’t at all clear that drugs are beneficial. People get hooked and go from one to the next. Then there are those which produce a bipolar effect on personality. Look what marijuana’s called in Amsterdam where it’s legal and they make a lot of “haze” which means cloudy or confused, which is precisely one of its effects. Drug use leads to unending confusion, one sees not what is but rather what one wishes to see, like Don Quijote who enters a highway joint (cathouse of the time) and he believes one of the “girls” Aldonza is his sweetheart Dulcinea, or the delirious episode in the Montesinos cave, where he sleeps confusing dreams with reality. I think marijuana produces a permanent dream-like state and paradoxically one sleeps without dreams or doesn’t recall them and upon awakening, you’re sleepy and have a cup of coffee and then right away irritable because everything feels bad until you smoke it again, you think nobody notices your condition, but it’s obvious on your tongue, your abilities diminish such as short term memory, you lose your keys, don’t know what’s in your left pocket or right, you can’t find things, and everything seems confusing; not to mention the increased libido, which brings other risks … besides any intellectual work which is impossible………….

    That’s why the doctors need to control it!

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Thanks Patrick!

  • Anthony

    I recently found your site. Please don’t misunderstand my questions, and I mean no disrespect because I really want to get it. My main question for you is “Why?”, “To what end or purpose?”. I think I kind of understand what’s going on with the current “system” we are all in based on your/Erik’s explanations, but why do we even have this “system”? Why did God or the ultimate light/energy source or whatever you want to call it create souls? What created the ultimate light/energy source? Why do souls need to learn lessons? What made them inferior and need to be perfected? What point is served by a soul being perfected or even created. Like I said, the system makes sense if you don’t ask these kinds of questions that underlie it. I just don’t get the point of this whole game. What if you don’t want to play? Why was it even started. Did it have a beginning? If so, what was there before and how did it start? If some of this was covered in a previous post, I couldn’t find it. I look forward to any discussion along these lines. I do find your blog interesting. Thank you.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Ah, a very interesting question. Of course there may not have ever been a “beginning” as such, but it’s hard for us to imagine something to have always existed because we are born and we die. So we have such a linear mentality. The best explanation I can give you as to the “why” can be found in a children’s book by Neale Donald Walsch entitled “The Little Soul and the Sun.” If you can look past the fact that the writing is meant for the very young, the message is what might help you understand. If you search for it on this blog or on google, it’s a very quick read! Here’s the link to the post: http://www.channelingerik.com/the-little-soul-and-the-sun/

  • punchdog

    If the US Government legalized and taxed marijuana and sold it the way they regulate alcohol – it would cut our $14 trillion debt in half. (Actually, that shit won’t matter in 2 years because the global financial system will collapse anyway and fiat paper money won’t mean anything…so…)

    UCLA and the Grof Institute in NorCal does a lot of LSD/Mushroom tests for people with difficult to treat depression and anxiety. It does basically reset the brain and open up consciousness.

    The problem with drugs of that nature is that it’s an uncontrolled trip and it can be very scary and unpredictable in the wrong circumstances and without guidance – which is why the Peruvians use guides for Ayuhausca ceremonies, and why Erik’s idea of where psychiatry SHOULD be heading is spot-on.

    The Monroe Institute in Virginia does brain-entrainment, meditation guided “drug-like” trips to alternate dimensions. They charge 2-3 grand for it though, but they feed and house you too – and there’s little chance of you having a bad trip. I’m planning on going there at some point this summer to do some astral traveling.

  • Tracy Lamont

    Elisa & Patrick,
    Hope none o’ that got lost in translation. Don’t want the two o’ you trying to pull the wool over our eyes, now! ;)
    In the UK, cannabis/marijuana is a class C drug. Still illegal, but incurring a lesser penalty than class B & A drugs

  • Patrick

    Tracy:
    I never pull wool (cotton sometimes, but never wool) over anyone’s eyes. Ears sometimes, but always cotton.
    Plants should never be illegal. Full Stop.
    In this upside down world, they are; stranger yet, the majority accept that.

  • christine

    In Mass there is a $100 fine (as long as you are not selling – I think it is less than an ounce) and will not be on your record. I have a friend that carries a 100 bill in her wallet, just in case.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      LOL!!

  • Candis

    I worry about people with the genetic propensity towards alcoholism though. Just giving it to them at an early age might not be such a good idea. Having dealt with alcoholics my entire life – it’s like, you don’t want to pave the way for them or something. It is a horrible and very serious condition.
    That said, I myself had postive, life changing experiences with LSD in my late teens – but some people were just destroyed by it. However, they were generally what was considered to be quite well adjusted before they took it! I was walking wounded though, just projectile pyhsic bleeding everywhere – never smiled or laughed, as the result of a relentless series of very bad experiences as a child, I was really stuck and the LSD experiences unstuck me.(n.o.t. looking for sympathy, just describing the past)
    One weird thing that I will always recall is that I always knew about 48 hours before I took LSD that I was going to be “tripping” soon, because “reality” would start to alter well before I actually ingested the substance about 2 days before (and for a couple of days after.) That was even when there was none available until a hour or so before I took it, like someone would show up with it.
    I would probably never do it again, can’t imagine a circumstance where it would add anything to my experience at this point, but it made a difference back then, at least for me it was a positive one, but like I said, a lot of people had very bad experiences with it too.
    I guess you could let doctors decide, but not all doctors are good or wise people. Besides, once there is money to be made, TPTB step in with their (legal and “justified”) bags of tricks and thats when everything really does go into some sick and twisted spirals beyond all imagination.
    I think Eric’s advice on this may be about 200 years ahead of it’s time, but I have noticed that about a lot of what he says. It’s like we need to aspire towards these directions.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Exactly, Candis. In the end, we have to rely on our instincts too, as parents and as individual users. If we feel strongly one way or another on a soul level,that should trump all other voices, including a doctor’s and Erik’s. Me, I’m a red wine person. I probably should try something safer, but it’s so cozy and comforting. Probably safer than a lot of prescription medication, but again, everything in moderation. Well, maybe not heroin or crystal meth (grin).

    AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

    Loved how you said

    LAUGHINGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! You brave girl!!
    You go girl! ahahahahah P.S had a session with
    Felix lerma… to contact my niece Lessa who hung herself last year at this time… It was MIND blowing AWESOME ! thanks for the referral :)
    Big hugs Elisa… Cheering you and Erik and Jamie on all the way!

  • dinabedina

    P.S. Smoking marijuana when I was burntout
    really helped me get in touch with my spirtual side and to sleep! Saved my Life really…
    and helped me to “LET GO”… of the negativity and stress in my Life… Also stopped me from “killing” ahahah a few people…
    So yey for good ole Marijuana.,.. ( when you really need it that is ) oui oui… totally agree.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      (grin)

    I think there is mild homegrown marijuana
    and then you have the “can’t even see the doorknob” kinda marijuana…So I get what your saying Patrick. Good point.

  • Jeff

    Hey Elisa,
    I havn’t said hello in a while, but I couldn’t resist on such groovy topic! And I want to let you know I still read every post and I hope you brush off criticism when it comes and forge ahead.

    But really, you should ask Erik more about psychedelic drugs and their spiritual effects on people, please? Pretty please? Specifically, I want to know more about ayahuasca (DMT) used by indigenous people in south America. People that have used it say it’s life-changing, I’m curious if they really do get a glimps at the other side.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Haha, he already mentioned that and I had no idea what it was. He says it’s great, but again, under the guidance of a psych doc. It was in another channeling session with Jeannie, I think. So go lick some toads, but take a shrink with you! And don’t be a stranger! We miss you!

  • Jane

    With you all the way on this Erik. As some of my friends say, “The War on [SOME people who use] Drugs” is utterly vile. Yet another way to punish the poor.

    Not that I want Ecstasy available in the aisle at the grocery store mind you.

    There would really have to be a lot more accountability and monitoring of psychiatrists though. Like anything there are great ones, mediocre ones, and downright criminal ones. Giving the criminal ones the power to LSD their patients, eeek. But i guess to live in a love based world I must focus on the majority of good doctors who would help many people! :)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      You’re right. There are so many bad doctors. Many good ones, too, of course. But ultimately, I think it’s up to the individual to exercise their intuition, research online, etc. to pick the wheat from the shaft. The last thing we need is to once again bypass individual accountability with more government bureaucracy.

  • Patrick

    What a smart, smart group we’ve assembled here.

    Many of these comments reveal the pitfalls into which we’ve dropped; the debate between benefits of “narcotics” or “substance” use and morality. Candis’ comments hit the the bull’s eye; everyone’s different. What role should government play in this? The smaller, the better. Ideally NONE.

    Many people should not drive cars; own chain saws or use power tools. Some people should never be allowed near a bow and arrow or a firearm. The misguided, well intended attempts to diminish the ill effects of “drug” use have produced what? Cannabis sativa is a plant called hemp. Think for a moment, how many plants could be dried and smoked or some effect?

    The passage of a national health “law” to provide a method of payment for medical treatment for all is a well paved road to perdition. I pray – literally – it never gets implemented, and I already know the reaction such statement can produce; “you would deny treatment to a needy patient?” NO! Central, authoritarian intervention is almost always bad, either right away or down the road and BOTH.

    I believe smoking marijuana, jumping off cliffs and eating boiled mashed turnips are all very bad things. Scores of people will disagree on some of hose things and concur on others. Welcome to Freedom.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Exactly. People need to learn to be accountable for their decisions, both good and bad, and recognize that there are consequences for each and every one of them. We can’t have a government big brother making all our decisions and saving us from those we do make, when they’re bad. It cripples the individual and therefore cripples humanity. We are stronger than we think. And we need to have a stronger faith in our neighbors and family and community to be there when we make a mistake as we humans are known to do from time to time.

  • Heather

    I believe that anything natural is way better then lab crated. I have difficulties sleeping have for years. I use to take pills for it which I didn’t like. I was introduced to marijuana. There are many veriations and some work wonders for insomnia. It’s natural it’s of the earth, just like me. No crazy chemical concoction crated by man. It does suck that it has to be smoked and the harm that comes from that but our air is poluted in most places anyway which can’t be heathy so I figure an ocasional puff for a restless night can’t be that bad. I’m a good person, have a geat job and a satisfying life, which I could loose cause of a plant? Does that make sense? Not really. I believe that marijuana will be legalized eventually. It just doesn’t make sense to criminalize it. It should have similar restriction to any other legal over the counter substance. Alcohol causes way more devistation and that’s legal!!!! Ahhhhhhh. I’m stopping, I could go on and on.

    love this blog! Always thought provoking!

    Heather

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      You make perfect sense, Heather. I think that one day they’ll be able to make THC more selective, affecting just certain things like depression, anxiety, etc. instead of just a blanket effect. And of course you don’t have to just smoke it, right?

  • Heather

    Right that’s not the only way but for my use it’s the best way. The effects are delayed when consumed and usually different and also when I lay down to sleep I don’t know if I will need it or not just depends. Smoke is instant relief.

    First-I don’t use marijuana. Interestingly I have become the foremost lobbyist in Florida because I dont use it. The #1 gateway drug these days is the medicine cabinet. They have also found that marijuana actually shrinks cancer cells. Also it does wonders for autism but probably its most compelling use is for veterans. Do you know that the top 10 drugs prescribed at VA hospitals are anti psychotics. So these vets come back after being geographically separated from their families only to become pharmacologically separated. Interestingly not only is Big Pharm behind keeping it from being relegalized, but the Mexican drug cartels send millions to our politicians to make sure it is not money out of their pockets. Actually, the reason it became illegal in the 1st place was to incarcerate African Americans -it was said that it makes Colored men look white men in the eye and lust after white woman. They have strains that do not get you stoned. Also in Israel they are producing prescription drugs using the plant-in the US they have marinol which is synthetic and not as effective. In Florida at least 7 people a day die from pain pills-actually the number is much higher. I will win the war on drugs if it takes my last dying breath.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I’m behind you all the way, Amy C. I don’t use marijuana either, but a a physician, I know how dangerous and enslaving “medicine cabinet pills” can be.
