That's really a tough spot to be in. Canada has acknowledged medical cannabis, yet they won't come out and say that they recognize it as an actual medicine...even though doctors have to prescribe it.
I ate it illegally for 8 years prior to getting my license because it was very hard to get a license.
It has allowed me to keep my eyesight and stay out of a wheelchair. It's the only medicine I take and you'd never know that I have MS.
I am in the process of getting my license to legally grow.
This plant needs to be free and available to everyone on our planet.
