Lol no doubt about it. While these may not be the "hashiest" days, as far as health goes, I'm certainly in a more comfortable position in life. While I may be in more pain now, my joke to people is that in 20 years I'll look back at today and feel it was a good day.
One thing is for sure; I'm getting the best weed I've ever gotten now.

I got my medical certification last May I'm able to shop for cannabis at a dispensary for what ails me. I'm able to have a large variety of top shelf medicine available to me. I do feel very lucky. I'm not in as much pain as I had been a few years and a few surgeries ago.
Some days I do take things for granted. I need to stop and remember it hasn't always been this great. I only work 4 hours a day and life is good.
I do worry about my loved one, my precious that I haven't been able to reach or help.

Of course. My presence here is prob enough to condemn me. But i really hope this isn't the"best" of times. I guess it could be said we all have ladders, and some just never climb because they're scarred of splinters. Id rather have sore hands than be stuck in a hole. Easier said than done tho i should mention. Basically what i mean is things could be worse, but they could be better also. For all of us even, look at mother Teresa if you don't think you can make a difference.
Health and complacency are bad things to relish in, they're far too fleeting sometimes from the smallest of discrepancies (like how mad i get when i lose my keys...), even (especially?) if you are young.

Certainly, I feel moments for even just a little consideration & humble appreciation for what we actually do have & love in our lives can be most grounding in these modern & often 'stressfull' times!

That last sentence is what I like to hear @momofthegoons! The rest, not so much! Here's to hoping that progress in pain relief sees things get better as you get better, not just older - like wine
What was the last sentence here about @CarolKing, who has gone MIA?
Your description of dispensaries sounds like a dream to me! You would not believe the effort it takes to find product worth one's time in my part of the world!
I really need to make my way stateside and see what MMJ and even legal recreational look like!
hahahaha man can I just start on a positive note and say that your user name cracks me up all the time, I find myself singing that Monty Python tune even though every now and then when I see your name. lol
I get what you are saying brother. In fact, there is a widespread shortage of high quality nugs of any kind in my part of the world right now. Can't get any buds worth a damn for less than $480 an oz, and no more than half oz at a time! Still, some high grade 3/4 melt bubble emerged which will tide this fortunately still medicated guy over!
It's easy to forget about not having good buds when you have the best part of the buds instead
Certainly, I feel moments for even just a little consideration & humble appreciation for what we actually do have & love in our lives can be most grounding in these modern & often 'stressfull' times!
Cheers brother
For me, it is all about the cannabis. It took me from an anxiety, depression, body-dysmorphia and bulimia ridden mess to the position I'm in now, achieving huge things in each of my several simultaneous professional careers. I want everybody in the world to understand that MMJ can have just as life-saving, life-changing results for people suffering from mental illness as it does for those with terminal illness/chronic pain.
I am not even 30 yet and I have literally been given back part of the prime of my life, that I thought was surely to miss out on to the monsters of mental illness I was contending with before!
As a research psychologist (not clinical!), I can't wait to see my professional peers start to come around on this topic.
Most psychologists in my country that I know are still harping on with the bullshit that weed leads to schizophrenia.
This is regardless of the recent literature highlighting that very high THC levels in cannabis do not cause, but can trigger psychosis in those with latent schizophrenia - and more importantly the very new research coming in suggesting that CBD is as effective an antipsychotic as the most potent atypical antipsychotics used in schizophrenia now, but is better tolerated by patients, without the nasty extrapyramidal side effects that alone can drive someone to suicide.
It is understood that CBD greatly reduces the degradation of the endocannabinoid Anandamide in cerebrospinal fluid, which research suggests plays a key role in psychotic symptoms.
Cheers everyone! Remember - if in doubt, hash it out!

@herbivore21 lol im glad you like my subtle reference man, it was more that i was actually eating chinese food at the same time as that was stuck in my head... And i do like chinese food tbh
, i did try and couldnt get itsjusacutelilbunny. 
Move to Ca!! Theres too much here man, dont worry though if youre like me the lower cost just justifies more smoke... kinda like ying and yang i guess
ORRR do a rubbermaid stealth box. they actually work surprisingly well with scrog.

You see what I was talking about in regards to the "studies" your peers are throwing out there?

No, I don't. These peers are not researchers. They are clinical practitioners who do not publish

Sorry. I thought you were referring to Marc Seal, Nadia Solowij, and the rest of the "cannabis causes schizophrenia" crowd that does publish. My apologies again. I misunderstood.

Oh there is that contingent too, but as far as the research psychologists I know go, I don't personally know any who hold that view. That view is really not in line with current research.
Still some researchers just can't let go of a hypothesis even after it has been refuted repeatedly, in this case shown to be a facile comprehension of the active constituents in the cannabis plant, some of which have OPPOSITE EFFECTS.
Consider THCV, which causes appetite suppression. Compare this with the well-known side effect: the munchies.
Case in point
I am not saying no researcher holds those views, just that those researchers are not up to date with the most recent literature if they do hold such simplistic views of 'cannabis' rather than focusing on the profile of active chemicals within a given sample of cannabis
