None of the above. I am allergic it. And it does not cure cancer. The amount of ultraconservative crackpotism manufacturing claims on both sides of the debate have muddled what should be simple. If you smoke it a lot, you are putting tar in your lungs. Maybe not all the crazy additives of cigarettes but tar is tar. And that means asking for lung cancer. Plenty of hardcore pot smokers get respirstory problems but the numbers are buried under these stupid taboos preventing us from ever having straightforward conversations about it. We just get crazed yelling on both sides.

Seen a number of angry, violent drunks, but no violent stoners.

When I started using cannabis I believed it was completely recreational use on my part. however, as I have gotten older, I have come to the conclusion that, for myself at least, it has many uses. even before I realized it, I was using it to mellow my anxiety and all the troublesome issues that went along with it. In my early years, it simply helped with things like my overactive imagination that often led to paranoia. It calmed my nerves enough during a panic attack so that I could think in a linear fashion again. It helped me sleep and seemed to lessen my flashbacks and night terrors. As I got older I learned more about both cannabis and my mental, emotional, and physical health. I learned what worked for me. While I was going about all this acquisition of knowledge, I found out I had cancer. I tried some of the things the Dr's suggested, and got worse. A friend of mine started bringing me a concentrated form of cannabis high in CBD. I went back for my 3 month check up and it had stopped spreading. At 6 months it had started receding. Now it's been gone for the last 6 years. I am not a Dr or scientist. I don't have all the answers. But I know I feel better. Even now, some of the lasting side effects of the things the Dr's tried are helped by cannabis. I vomited so much during treatment that I ruined the parts involved in not throwing up. Now I get sick just from bending over, let alone things that make an average person sick. That along with my nervousness, which also makes me nauseous, means I have a hard time holding anything down on a bad day. It allows me to calm my nerves, which calms my stomach. It still calms my panic attacks and helps with PTSD. It may not be for everyone, but in my opinion, it has saved my life and perhaps my sanity many times over.

Those are some very tall plants...

They look like the kind of hemp they grow for fiber. Quite a pretty scene, huh?
