JUST MEANS MORE PAIN PILLS

Editor:

I am a 50-year-old woman who has alcohol and drug addiction issues,
ADD, personality disorder, and degenerative arthritis that is
extremely painful. My diagnosis came while living in Washington state,
thank goodness. Medical marijuana had just become legal and my doctor
prescribed it in smoke and oil, CBD, to help. It had me to one pain
pill a day, no booze, no drugs, And I now own a home and pay taxes
where before, I couldn't stay sober and pain free enough to hold a
job, or a relationship. I came back to Wyoming for my aging parents
thinking at least medically, I would be good. Not so, if am now up to
three pills a day and having side-effect health issues. I would like
my natural medicine to be legal for me and all others wanting it.
