I've tried growing many strains and hybrids over the last 10 years trying to
find the perfect combination for sleep and pain. As a nurse, I've seen a lot
of my "senior" patients utilize medical marijuana for their chemotherapy side
effects etc. i.e., neuropathy, nausea etc., with great success. I still have
friends who work for the government in Maryland who cannot talk about it,
especially on the phone or via e-mail or text. I believe they still get
tested periodically as well. I find this is a strange contrast and wondering
if the whole thing will revert back somehow. It's quite benign and helpful
for many.
