    Legal or not it helps me so I’m going to keep using it regardless.

    It’s about time! I live with chronic pain and nerve pain, which limits my mobility, can often be completely debilitating, and has been affecting my sleep every night for the last 2.5 years. Non-addictive medications do nothing to help, and taking opioids regularly is too risky, plus they barely help either and the doc won’t prescribe it for me anyway… medical cannabis would help but I currently can’t get it due to all the red tape. This would be a life changer for people like me who live in constant pain.

    it cures pain and makes you hungry.

    If it is claiming health benefits like a drug it should be treated as a drug. If it is not a drug then why all the hype?
