I don't Drink I never like the way Alcohol made me feel. MJ relives My tension, Pain and Screw the Puritans here and everywhere, I happen to like the Buzz! But I was forced to quit for "Work reasons", (Damn all Drug warriors)! A short time after, that's When Sever back pain forced me to consult several DR.'s. They discovered I have a Scoliosis, Not something Slight But a real mess in my lumbar.
My Conversation with the specialist went like this, " How you worked for A living Mr. .... Is beyond me." "If I told you How DR. you wouldn't believe me". (or worse, you'd shun me.) Now I have pain Meds that are a much worse option, Than just being a stoner. Of course I Know Some Folks steeped in the ''Reefer Madness Propaganda'' find My Pain as funny, They can piss off. My only option now is, I will be forced retire on disability, toss out the Prescription and Go back to what I know works!
