I would like to tell you about a very unique person I have had the honor of meeting and tell some of his story. I first met fdrlxmt online on Breedbay. He used to pop by chat and the first time he did so he surprised us by telling us his real name ( Robert) and letting us know proudly he was a Canadian marijuana exemptee under section 56. Finding a reliable source for cannabis medicine can be a big problem for exemptees in Canada if they cant grow there own. Fdrlxmt , however seems to have incredible passion and also a vast knowledge of growing.
Robert Willy Neron has Hodgkins disease which is bad enough but during some Chemo treatments it burnt his heart and lung leaving him with only one lung partially working. Imagine life with half a heart and half a lung! His brother actually passed from this same illness, so when I say that he has a medical need its a severe understatement. Hodgkin's disease, is a type of lymphoma (cancer originating from a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes). It was named after Thomas Hodgkin, who first described abnormalities in the lymph system in 1832. Basically cancer of the immune system. He was diagnosed in 2004 and unfortunately he has the really bad Non lymphoma type with a very low rate of survival.
Originally he received his Cannabis exemption for cervical dystonia spasmodic retrocolis. Basically involuntary muscle spasm of the neck shoulders and back, which he initially received from a work related injury while working in a plywood mill. Robert feels all the pills he was fed eventually made him develop cancer due to the extreme stress associated with the loss of income and lost of mobility all the time being doped up on pharmaceuticals. His favorite strain is Willy Jack but in particular a special clone from Willy Jack himself.
Here is an Interview I did with Fdrlxmt;
SUB: Should I use your real name or stick with the nick?
ROB: My name is Robert Neron and on internet my name is fdrlxmt ( federal exemptee) But my friends call me " Willy ".
SUB: What condition do you have ?
ROB: I suffer from Cervical Dystonia Spamodic Retrocolis and in 2004 i have been diagnosed with Hodgkin Disease Non Lymphoma.
SUB: How does it affect you physically ?
ROB: It a life changing disability suffering from intense muscle spasms in the neck shoulder back area. It was first described as Torticolis. But mine just wont go away. So I have had to re learn how to do many things that I then took for granted like riding a bicycle or going fishing in my canoe..Which I can no longer can do.
Then cancer came along...I presume all the pills I was then taking must have triggered it along with the unreal amount of stress I had at the time in my life.
SUB: What benefits do you receive form cannabis.?
ROB: I was happy to have cannabis in my life when before I was injured , since 12 year old. So I knew the quality marihuana had and when I saw I wasnt going to get any better and that all them pills were making me sicker by the day ,I opted for the natural way. Marihuana relieved some of the pain associated with muscle spasms , making the spasms less intense.
When I received A,B,V,D Chemo , I dint need any of the pills for nausea, so I dint take them . I had an appetite and helped make bad days into somewhat better days. When I received Radiation Therapy, there again it helped me eat and kept the food down.( no nausea).
SUB: When did you first get your 56 status and once you did have you had any problems with its application or the cops?
ROB: I started my fight in January 1998 , I have had to take health Canada 9 times to Federal Courts System. I represented my own self as lawyer an WON 7 times. The only two time i lost was when we ask for the rights to import / export of course we were denied and i lost when we asked for concentrations like butter , hash, oil ect that too we were denied.
I have had to fight every step of the way for my exemption and it would apear i would have to re do it all over again.
SUB: Can you tell me more about your Exemption?
ROB: Well this is a big controversy as none of the exemptees in Canada have the same permit. There is no equity, meaning whats good for you can and should also be good for me. So if you have 30 grams a da....well , that what every one should have..." Equity " But thats far from the case sub. you start at 5 grams a day then slowly move up.I was the first canadian to break all them records.I had a very suportive Dr at the time wich made it somewhat easyer.Eventually i ended up at 73 plants a day an in a letre sent to health canada on july 1st 2007 demanding a unlimited amount of plant..exemption.
For security reason we do not talk about personal amount ect...it tends to attract thieves and rip-offs.
But I was the first one to get the biggest exemptions at the time.

SUB: Do you get better relief from medibles?
ROB: Like i said i now eat 2 grams of oil a day ,i take em in gel caps ( size 00 ).I use to do medible but now with my radiated stomach its more difficult to eat it.
ROB: I live one day at a time, Im eccentric , spontaneous and determined , I live every day to its very fullest. Life's too dam short, enjoy it to it maximum .I wouldnt be able to live with myself over the toughts of.." I should of said something or I should of tried that."
