PAIN SUFFERERS NEED HELP, INFORMATION

Five years ago my physician and I talked about the possibility of my
having hip-replacement surgery. I would have had to spend about three
weeks in a convalescent hospital. The narcotic pain medication that I
had been taking was becoming insufficient. So I decided to look into
medical marijuana.

I went to Natural Care For Wellness, here, in Chico, where the
physician gave me a written recommendation. Well, I couldn't very well
take it to Rite-Aid, could I? So I went out to the parking lot and
talked to a lady that was sitting in her car. I asked her about a
dispensary.

Since then I have become a "budtender." I am studying to find which
strain is best for different medical conditions. For instance, if a
person is in pain, but still needs to get things done, they are better
off with a Sativa strain. It's more of a cerebral kind of high. At
night, when it's time to rest, it's time for Indica.

Yes, we need a dispensary, and we need to offer classes, so that
people can find the information that they need.
