Message: <blockquote data-quote="jack1996" data-source="post: 2056753" data-attributes="member: 507229">I actually have no experience with Metformin, but many of my friends kind of don't like it, because it's less efficient than CBD: Naturally, I am a strong supporter for the legalization of cannabis in all circumstances. I have a completely different perspective on the plant than most people do. I believe the plant has a purpose and unfortunately due to the ignorance of man, fear of the unknown, and over-zealous lawmakers - we’ve never been allowed to truly understand the divine purpose of such a miraculous plant.We have to remember, the Endocannabinoid System was just discovered 30 years ago. Until the early 1990’s - science had no idea why the body responded to THC the way that it does. All the information we’ve been taught about cannabis prior to at least 1995 was speculation - they had NO CLUE that we had a system specifically to process and utilize these compounds.Legalize it, completely… open up the research ability of the top medical minds in the nation… Dr. Jeffery Chen at UCLA and many other scientists believe the Endocannabinoid system may play role in the development of ALL human disease. Imagine learning there’s been a plant in existence since the beginning of time that could help prevent even HALF of the diseases and ailments suffer with today.We use vitamins to prevent deficiencies in our bodies, what if our Endocannabinoid is deficient? How do you supplement that? With phytocannabinoids from the plant.Let’s think about this for a second… 114 people a day are dying from opioid overdose - a legal substance. 16,000 people died from ibuprofen in 2016. Who knows what that number is for benzos, anti-depressants, and other mood-altering pharmaceuticals. These are all legal - and no bats an eye.No one has ever died from marijuana and it can do everything the opiates can without organ damage or horrible side effects. Yet… which one is still illegal?My husband was prescribed lethal combinations of prescriptions in the Midwest - 4 hydrocodone, 4 percoset, and 2 fentanyl patches a day for pain, gabapentin for nerve damage, flexeril for muscle relaxation, HBP meds, high cholesterol meds, metformin for type 2 diabetes, and 2 Xanax daily for anxiety. Plus he took ibuprofen every 4 hours.Today… my husband uses cannabis. Period.Today, we are both healthier than we’ve ever been. So, I will argue to the death that cannabis isn’t meant for health and wellness, and I will continue telling my story until everyone has the same opportunity to change their life for the better like my husband and I did.I had to completely walk away from my life to find my miracle… now I’m an evangelist so eventually no one else will have to go through what I did to get the help they need</blockquote>
