30. I'm a Florida native who just moved to Denver

Oct 2017

I didn't move here because MJ was legal. I moved here because I have MS and I couldn't take the endless Florida summer heat anymore. Heat is awful for those with MS. Florida parking lots are my mortal enemy with the waves of heat rising.

As a former hippie who's been clean and sober for 30 years, the sight of pot stores everywhere in Denver was surrealistic to me. Never did I think I would see people lining up on a Friday night to buy a few joints for the night.

I started doing research and went to a Medical Marijuana doctor. I told him that I wanted to investigate the medicinal uses without getting high. He told me to use high CBD with little to no THC.

I found a cream that has been a miracle for me. Since I have a lot of muscle pain that interrupts my sleep, I rub it on my feet, legs and wrists before bed. I sleep soundly with no leg pain or cramps.

I also take Charlotte's Web, which is a Hemp Oil and is legal in all states. You can get it here: https://www.cwhemp.com. This product has actually eliminated a few lesions in my brain in the 2 years that I've been taking it. It's been a miracle for children with seizure disorders.

What a Brave New World - grateful to be here now!
