I know this will sound like an aging boomer. I last smoked pot when I was a
teenager in the 70s before joining the Navy. Since then, I've had multiple back
injuries and a bunch of other body parts removed, including my right upper lung
due to cancer last year. I lived on NSAIDs (and heavier hitters) for pain
during my entire adult life.

When I retired in Virginia, I got a medical marijuana license from the state. I
have it delivered to my door every month or two. I take a hit if I'm in pain or
just in the evening before bedtime. I've evaluated many strains and intake
methods, but a quick hit works best for me. I prefer the sativa strains for
pain management.

I know from my childhood that recreational pot was usually very fun, but today I
think it should at least be legal nationally for medicinal purposes with
adults. The fact that you can have a few laughs while medicated is a plus!
