wasn't sure where to post this story, but here goes...

my mom doesn't use cannabis and has pretty much eaten up all the stereotypes and government/media propoganda about how "herb is so bad for you."

...that is, until recently...when I came down with lymes disease. I experienced heart failure 6 weeks ago and somehow survive the lowest sustained heart rate of a human being ever recorded in medical history. I was placed on high doses of the antibiotic/chemotherapeutic agent doxycycline hyclate.

@ 400 mg per day for nearly 2 months, my stomach became intolerable of the drug and i'd vomit violently throughout the day

Using cannabis eliminated almost all nausea and enabled me to eat.

After seeing this antedotal evidence of the medicinal effects of cannabis first hand, my mom grew more and more open to the idea of medical herb.

after being back in the hospital the past 4 days for paralysis of my foot caused by the lyme disease, I took my mom with me on the walk to my guerilla grow and she helped me transplant my plants into the ground with the soil I had brought to the site. It was a strange, sorta different but cool thing to do. she was a bit paranoid here and there, but it didn't go too bad

so yea that's my story lol

what ive learned from this experience however, is to never act ashamed of the fact that you use cannabis. Don't feel like you have to hide the fact that you smoke, as that does nothing for the movement to legalize this harmless, beneficial plant. Cannabis, i consider to be like ANY other drug- which all come from plants- there's good uses and bad uses. it can be used, or abused, but atleast it's non-addictive.

so don'tever be afraid to calmly and openly let others know that cannabis IS medicine, cuz this story I shared about my mom demonstrates living proof that people CAN drop their negative stigmas about cannabis.

Yeah i could see how that would be wierd, but it sounds like she supports you now because of your condition. I think were going to start seeing more people open to the idea in the future.

Thats a good mom right there. Despite what she heard she was willing to help her son in his time of need. Although she might disagree with the medicine she acknowledged that it does help you. +rep to supporting mothers.

good story man

Very cool. Sounds like a reasonable person. I had a similar experience. I'm not sick like you but I was sick, in that I was a heroin addict. I spent time in prison and tried all the rehabs and even some of the drugs that are supposed to help you kick heroin but nothing worked, until I started using cannabis. I've been clean from heroin for almost 10 years now and last year my mom drove me and my 5 5 footers out to a better location when the spot I started them in became inadequate. Her minivan looked like a damn jungle inside, it was kinda scary driving down the road like that.

There's nothing like a good mom huh? I know how you guys feel, my mom doesn't know anything about my current/past grows. But man she's the best mother I could have ever asked for you know?

My father is... well he's his own person completely. But I love him just the same.
