Well folks...I've debated all day whether to post this here or not. As you all know I (my family firm) am a LP applicant. I've participated on here, in many a debate.

For the longest while I thought I understood patients as much as a patient can be understood.

Today, however, I got news that my Father, my mentor, my dearest friend, the president of the company, has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. This is a piece of shit cancer of the esophagus/stomach connection caused by chronic reflux.

Let me say this now. I did not understand patients.

Unless you get your teeth kicked in with a disease and all its implications (debilitation, financial burdens etc.) then any LP telling you they understand patients is LYING to your face.

They may have sympathy towards you, they may have excellent intentions, they may have a glimpse into your world, but unless you are there experiencing it first hand they know little of what it its to need medicine and not have the legal or financial ability to obtain it.

My business priorities have taken a drastic reality check and the intimacy of this situation have opened my eyes to what compassionate pricing really means, to what the right to grow really means. I have always voiced my opinion, perhaps to my HC file detriment, that one should have the right to grow their medicine or obtain it at reasonable costs from 3rd parties, but that was an opinion formed by logical reasoning. Now I have the unfortunate privilege of reaffirming this opinion with tactile emotional reality.

I don't really know how to end this post without rambling on and on, I guess I just needed to get this off my chest. My pops is a tough son of gun, he'll beat the odds as he's done most of his life, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I'm really fucking afraid.

These made me happy when my bud had Cancer. Didn't cure him, or me - but laughter just makes me feel better:

Sorry to hear about this and hoping all the best in your father's fight. Cancer can be beaten or managed, and ganja is really a wonder drug which I can attest to it first-hand. I've been at it for almost 5 years and they still haven't gotten rid of me. Having to deal with it first-hand does change your perspective on a lot of things. If you've seen any of my past posts in here you'll find that I'm passionate about the right to grow and access to this great medicine for all, including if not prioritizing the less fortunate. Besides dealing with it myself, my GF has skin cancer, her son died from cancer, my dad died from it at 61 and now in my mid fifties too many of my friends are dealing with it. We need a multi-prong approach to fight it and cannabis is a major part of it, fight for those who can't any more and those who can benefit from it in the future. Fuck cancer and anyone who tries to regulate whether I can grow my own meds... best of luck in your father's fight.
