Fill up on opiates and alcohol. Both are readily available on any street corner. Legally!!! Just don’t dare use this plant.
The prohibition of medical marijuana cements our states status as a professional shit show.
Totally agree with you. According to my husbands eye
Doctor, he would be blind from glaucoma if he didn’t use it twice a day. Drops do not work!. His Doctor supports the Bill and hopes it gets passed.
