wasn't sure where to post this story, but here goes...
my mom doesn't use cannabis and has pretty much eaten up all the stereotypes and government/media propoganda about how "herb is so bad for you."
...that is, until recently...when I came down with lymes disease. I experienced heart failure 6 weeks ago and somehow survive the lowest sustained heart rate of a human being ever recorded in medical history. I was placed on high doses of the antibiotic/chemotherapeutic agent doxycycline hyclate.
@ 400 mg per day for nearly 2 months, my stomach became intolerable of the drug and i'd vomit violently throughout the day
Using cannabis eliminated almost all nausea and enabled me to eat.
After seeing this antedotal evidence of the medicinal effects of cannabis first hand, my mom grew more and more open to the idea of medical herb.
after being back in the hospital the past 4 days for paralysis of my foot caused by the lyme disease, I took my mom with me on the walk to my guerilla grow and she helped me transplant my plants into the ground with the soil I had brought to the site. It was a strange, sorta different but cool thing to do. she was a bit paranoid here and there, but it didn't go too bad
so yea that's my story lol
what ive learned from this experience however, is to never act ashamed of the fact that you use cannabis. Don't feel like you have to hide the fact that you smoke, as that does nothing for the movement to legalize this harmless, beneficial plant. Cannabis, i consider to be like ANY other drug- which all come from plants- there's good uses and bad uses. it can be used, or abused, but atleast it's non-addictive.
so don'tever be afraid to calmly and openly let others know that cannabis IS medicine, cuz this story I shared about my mom demonstrates living proof that people CAN drop their negative stigmas about cannabis.

I know how you guys feel, my mom doesn't know anything about my current/past grows. But man she's the best mother I could have ever asked for you know?
