I smoked in my youth, but I stopped when I became a mother. Before I knew it, I was taking antidepressants and anti-anxiety daily to cope with being a single mother living in gov't housing on welfare so I could go to college.
Once my daughter was old enough to know about such things (about sixteen), I gave up the pills and went back to "smoke." I got my personality and my libido back.
In va we can buy down the road at the corner store. There's no insurance company, no routine dr visits, no paperwork and no chance of overdose or addiction withdrawals.
Cannabis is good medicine for me and both of my children (now that they're both adults).

I stopped smoking weed after many many years of daily use because I was smoking it with tobacco about a year ago, since then I have put on a lot of weight and my fitness has taken a back door and my anxiety is increasing to a point that it is out of control...I have started drinking alcohol regularly, before I drank rarely. I thought I was doing something for my health but due to the weight gain now I use asthma medication regularly. This was the exact opposite of what I was expecting.
