Care, UNC-Rex Pain Clinic.

Again, another surgery and with the arachnoiditis and MCTD, my colon again suffered (not feeling the urge to produce a bowel movement). In 2009, another surgery resulted in a sub total colectomy. In 2011, another emergency surgery to remove another lipoma.

However, despite all of this, I no longer take Prednisone, Plaquenil, nerve pain medication or any pain medication. I only take high concentrate full spectrum CBD, Whole Plant Extract, blood pressure regulating pharmaceuticals (Cozaar 50mgs and Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg), and weekly Vitamin D 50,000 units.

I am not cured but hopefully, we can all learn your life is not my journey; as mine is not yours. But, if a plant with absolutely no physically addictive qualities can help me live and heal, why not you? I want everyone to understand many suffer and if Cannabis can heal or give you a better quality of life, why not? It may not cure me; but I am now living my life.

"If this Senator is Pro-Cannabis, something is changing! My former district Senator, Jerry Tillman is pro-Cannabis, he also blames the pharmaceuticals, not marijuana for the addiction epidemic!

I have been visiting his office for over 5 years; dropping off studies and medical Cannabis articles. He was never for any type of medical and/or recreational legalization for over 21 years. Recently, he admitted eating “hemp seeds” everyday. Now, I am beginning to think the end of the world is coming.

Thank You Senator Tillman!"
