I made the call to go into hospice last week after a wek of CHOKE and PUKE from chemotherapy. As most of you know, I am in third matastises from SCC. My wife, 2 daughters, and one son are holding up well. No one knows the hour of our death. I will continue to be as active as I can until that hour arrives. Currently the hospice nurses have me real comfortable, real comfortable, better living through chemistry. It is a crying shame that our US government will not legalize canibis. I can go down the road and legally purchase a gallon of booze. My Doctors can prescribe Morhine, and other high potency pain killers. My oncologist at the VA wrote a prescription in their system for canabis Indica but because of federal law it cannot be shipped accross state lines from a conforming state to a non-conforming state. Ironically, I live 40 miles from the University of Mississippi, the only place in North America, where it is grown, under close federal supervision, for complying states and licensed intities. So the pot you are smoking, if you live in one of the 21 states that have legalized it's use for medical purposes, it comes from Ole Miss. Sorry about getting on a soap box. But POT would make my life and death more comfortable, not to mention nutrician. Therfore I request, if you haven't done so yet, write your congressmen and senator's, legalize canibis NOW.
