Cannabis

Medicinal CBD and THC are both obtainable through a Doctor's prescription. And that's pretty much a rubber stamp.
I'm a bit of a cynic but I thought I'd give it a try about six weeks ago.
It's a great help with the minor aches and pains that come from hitting and passing retirement.
But the real revelation for me was the amazing increase in not only the time but the quality of my sleep.
For a good while before I retired I'd been having increasing and more severe knee pain. Guess 30 years of 40 mile a week roadwork caught up with me. And the job I had required a great deal of walking every night, maybe seven miles a night on average.
With 1 1/2 years to go before retirement I finally saw a doctor. This diagnosis: both knees needed replacing. And that day I walked out with an appointment to see a pain specialist.
Walked out with a prescription for OxyContin and Ativan for sleep. Ativan was swapped with Xanax and Vice versa for the three years I used it.
One week after my first week of retirement I had my first replacement. And four months later I had my second. The pain was excruciating and all the dope I was taking didn't decrease it that much. Had to delay Thailand for 1 1/2 years, the last three months weaning myself off the dope.
I didn't take all that was prescribed and then hit the streets to score. In fact, my doctor was so generous with his script pad( imagine that) that I was able to hold back more than enough pills to detox myself. I just didn't make my last appointment. If I were still in Dallas he'd probably still be writing me Oxy.
I had to get clean before I left and I did. These oils couldn't have relieved the pain of my knees but the Oxy was hardly a panacea.
And I haven't slept like this since well before my knees started bothering me.
I'd like to bring some with me along with a prescription. Guess I'll have to contact the US Embassy and maybe JAL as well. As I'm flying in to Dallas, who knows? San Francisco, it ain't.
