Rate this question


Notorious Kelly

Question

This ain't the America i was sold:

“He was taking 13 pills a day, and it was just killing his liver. He was having all these issues with his body and he just wanted to try something more natural to just see if he could do without that many pills a day,” she said.

Good Post N Kelly,

I hope that some veterans organizations will come to his aid and help him, defending this veteran would help legalize it, some states has approval and I hope this veteran is acquitted.(this is ridiculous)

I am from Oklahoma and this is mindboggling....makes me ashamed to be from Okla. eh!

The VA is over medicating all of us veterans that have ptsd and its going to take it's toll on most of us & if cannabis is helping why not make it where we can use it.

And yet there cutting back on pain meds & opiates ect,,ect,, don't make a lick of sense.

They wanted to up my dosage. I said no. They seemed surprised. The pills I take do help but my symptoms are still there. The onlyv way I could smoke marijuana would be if I were 100% P&T. I would get fired for dirty urine.

I would rather smoke one joint in the evening than take the pills I take. I would gladly sign a petition and send money for his defense. Oklahoma I have always just shook my head in disbelief at what they do.
