Yep. I held a clearance since 1976, so smoking pot was never an option. My
(our) current favorite is a strain called Afternoon Delight #8 (and Jack's
Delight) for pain. My go-to has been Dragon Breath for the past couple years.
It's a tad less strong than the other two, but it's generally available in the
dispensaries.

I saw a post today from POTUS touting the benefits of CBD/THC, so my gut tells
me it's not far from federal legalization. It's probably the pharmaceutical
companies most opposed to broad adoption.
