I am happy I had a moment to cruse in here a bit tonight. I have been looking for additional resources for my son and I. Here are a couple of of links I can share as well.

These illnesses are just a disabling if not more than if you were missing a limb or your eyesight. Yet there are far little resources available for these patients and their families. Thank you for the information.

I've got to give the Weedtracker family, especially you, MadRiverTurtle, my deepest appreciation for getting this topic out there, in such a dignified and respectful manner.

There are many people in this community who are suffering right now from serious mental health symptoms, and are trying to hide it, instead of addressing it.

For me personally, medical cannabis has ended up being a godsend for my depression and other health issues. The hardest part of being ill, isn't the illness, it's the lack of social acceptance and lack of safe access.

But I am grateful to be connected to a community which provides so much support and valuable information. I don't know where I'd be without you, WT.
