I live in Nevada. The voters of the state voted to authorize medicinal & recreational usages.

in 1995 while in the Army, I lost 14 feet of my small bowel due to a botched appendectomy. that in 2012, I had to have a third surgery and lost an additional foot of bowel. An average Adult has about 20 feet. so I have 5 feet left and lost half of my large colon.

I had been on Dr. Prescribed pain medications but they make you feel terrible in terms of making you sick plus after a period of time, your body does get hooked, doesn't matter how many or few, So I weaned myself off the darn things. I went to a local medical marijuana DR. and got my packet printed out and I have to send it to Carson and I'm paying for the 2 year license.

I have had 4th and 5th surgeries back in late 2014 almost died after #4 due to my liver failing.

now I'm on a plateau so to speak so I thought medicinal marijuana was the way to go now. It takes care of my Anxiety as well.

in closing, if my post(s) sound silly, strange or otherwise, that is why.

I have a 100% disability rating with the VA as well. So I felt this was a good move.
