Those were the furious words of my grandfather to my
Mother. I had walked in from joyfully
stuffing my face with red raspberries in the garden, straight into "war
zone"! My gentle grandfather in a fury, his hand raised! Mom was just
beginning to shrink back away from him. They saw me and quickly sent me
away. But it was too late, the scene and
the words were seared into my 5-year-old brain. That was over 55 years ago, but
I still remember it clearly. My grandfather was a minister, one very short step
away from God in my young mind. It was one of those life changing moments. It
is still rare for me to tell a lie. I
never found out what my Mother's lie was.
As
I child, I suffered a traumatic head injury. Another child tried to murder me
with a hammer. I was left with frequent migraines. At 19, like many rebellious
teens, I tried cannabis. It took about a
year for me to make the connection between using cannabis and the absence of my
normally frequent migraines. I have used
cannabis ever since.
I
am an avid reader. While perusing an old book on herbal medicine, I read how
the little old ladies of
Epilepsy,
Parkinson's, arthritis, and my migraines! What else was it good for? Yet every
news article on cannabis that I saw, claimed one new horror after another. Men grew breasts and were impotent. Women
became sterile, or miscarried. It made
you crazy and murderous. Made you lazy
and do nothing. It caused cancer and
heart attacks...What I had learned on my own and from others and what I was
being told in the press were so different!
What
was the truth? I began
researching. I printed the first studies
up and kept them in a notebook, just as a personal reference. The notebook
quickly filled. I started a Word file of
the URLs and on
Here's
some of what I have found. All I've done
is copy the URLs, then put them all in some semblance order for everyone to use
as a reference. Please feel free to
share this list with anyone who could benefit from it.
