I've been smoking pot for more than forty years and firmly believe it is the most beneficial plant on terra firma. I had the same one-hit pipe until a few months ago when it was confiscated by the CANADIAN border patrol.
I used pot as a training aid for sports and always had my best times training for ultra-marathons and personal bests in the gym after smoking. I even set several school records while playing high school football stoned.
I used pot as a study aid in school and aced all my exams in college once I started taking college serious and actually studied.
I have benefitted from its medicinal properties and can count on one hand the number of times I have actually been sick in the last forty years. My eye doctor couldn't understand why my eyes just stay the same year after year (25+ years now) unlike he and his other patients our age who all require reading glasses. I finally told him that I smoke pot. And I still have to occasionally show proof of age to buy beer, four times in the last twelve months.
I also appreciate the metaphysical aspects of its effects and have had some of my best ideas ever while "stoned" one being my current business plan which you are being a huge benefit and resource.
I also started adding hemp to my diet because it is an excellent form of protein containing almost all of the amino acids the body needs to function properly.
Keep up the good work.

Sheesh @doc.hodes you really are my biggest fan what kind words thank you mate. Well what can I say I am a nature boy extraordinaire.. Have you watched the Rick Simpson story on youtube? Cannabis oil? Man that oak is my hero .. Also canadian he got arrested plenty by them too the mounted 'police' Brilliant man and great story let me know if you have seen it. My goal is to setup a nice big aquaponics system here in South Africa and grow the finest organic weed and then make the finest pure cannabis oil and save thousands of people but that all takes money and sadly the legislation still doesn't permit. But I have the know how, just the cash and the law are two hurdles that I need to somehow overcome, but fight the good battle and win we shall. Cheers for following brother you are a top man. ..
I'll have to check out Rick Simpson.
I keep an address in Colorado so I can go there and purchase it legally. It's great to be able to buy it fresh and know the quality you're buying.
The US DEA has admitted they have known all along that it is not harmful to humans or the economy and the only reason they want it to be illegal is to justify their budget.
Good luck fighting the fight to get it legalized.
Its illegal for money control and power. Sad. But times they are a changin and people are waking up Chat soon
I used to use higher potency products but with my livelihood on the line. ..If pot were legal I think I could legitamately get off dangerous benzos that are the only thing preventing insomnia.@doc.hodes what a valuable comment. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm a runner also. I use nutraceuticals hemp paste. It has helped everything. It has thc but within the US "legal limits ". Dont get me wrong it has helped my ptsd, anxiety, and depression so much.
Have you considered making your own. Or buying non fda 'controlled' product? Quiet frankly I dont trust them. Cheer $;)
I have to be very careful
Can't lose my job. The product I'm using now is non fda approvdd and works great

Are you familiar with the pineal gland?
It controls the bodies production of both the serotonin (digestion) and melatonin (sleep).
If you are struggling with insomnia, then more than likely it has calcified and is not working properly.
It can be repaired natural.
It's due to ptsd
Sorry to hear it.
